Brief history of Huntley & Palmers is a British company of biscuit makers originally based in Reading, Berkshire. Formed by Joseph Huntley in 1822, the company became one of the world's first global brands (chiefly led by George Palmer who joined in 1841) and ran what was once the world’s largest biscuit factory. The biscuits were sold in elaborately decorated biscuit tins.

Over the years, the company was also known as "J. Huntley & Son" and "Huntley & Palmer". In 2006, the Huntley & Palmers company was re-established in Sudbury, Suffolk. Since 1985, the New Zealand firm Griffin's Foods has made Huntley and Palmers biscuits under licence.In 2017, conservators found a 106-year-old fruitcake from the company in the artefacts from Cape Adare. The cake is believed to have been part of the rations of Captain Robert Falcon Scott’s Terra Nova Expedition in 1910–1913. The British biscuit tin started when the Licensed Grocer's Act of 1861 let groceries to be individually packaged & sold. When duty on paper for printed labels was taken away. It was only a short leap to the idea of printing on tinplate. This was a new process of offset lithography that was patented in 1877, it let many multicoloured designs to be printed on to various shaped tins.
