What to know

Before you brief.

Once your packaging is designed, you need someone to make it. This directory points you to Australian printers, manufacturers and co-packers across the main packaging types, grouped so you can find the right kind of supplier fast.

A note on the giants: Australia’s packaging market is dominated by a few large integrated manufacturers — Amcor, Visy, Orora and Pact Group — which supply at industrial scale. They’re worth knowing, but generally suit high-volume runs. The suppliers listed here tend to be more accessible for emerging and growing brands.

Choose your design partner first: the pack has to be designed before it can be made, and a good designer will supply print-ready artwork and dielines your manufacturer needs.

Questions

Common questions.

What's the difference between a packaging designer and a manufacturer?

A designer creates the brand, structure and print-ready artwork; a manufacturer or printer physically produces the packaging. You usually engage the designer first, then take their files to a manufacturer.

Do I need a designer and a manufacturer?

Usually yes. Some manufacturers offer basic in-house artwork, but for a brand that needs to stand out, a dedicated packaging designer and a separate manufacturer is the stronger combination.
