“More than half of consumers say they would pay more for sustainable products designed to be reused or recycled. 83% believe it’s important or extremely important for companies to design products that are meant to be reused or recycled. Nearly three-quarters (72%) of respondents said they’re currently buying more environmentally friendly products than they were five years ago, and 81% said they expect to buy more over the next five years.”

Packaging for Success

Packaging needs to be effective for the end consumer. Not only does it need to work, but it also needs to drive repeat purchases. A recent survey conducted by Accenture (www.accenture.com) and reviewed by the Australian Retailers Association 12 Jul 2019, reinforces the change in consumer buying behaviour when it comes to sustainable products.

Packaging for Efficiency

We believe an effective and efficient flexible packaging solution is one that ensures you maintain the integrity of your product, whilst also being considerate of the environment. We will always look for a suitable reusable solution that meets your requirements and reduces the need for excessive packaging throughout the supply chain from our end to yours.

Packaging for Safety

All our products meet the Australian Packaging Standards for Food Packaging and therefore do not contain harmful substances like lead, mercury, cadmium or hexavalent Chromium.

Packaging for the Environment

Our custom flexible packaging solutions give you the option to use a combination of various material structures. We are able to identify the make-up of the material used in each product, along with the recoverable and recyclable percentage of the material if required. All products we produce include the approved and relevant recycling symbol and where applicable anti-litter symbols.
