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.

The dieline, the flat template with the cut and fold lines, usually comes from your printer or manufacturer, because it reflects their tooling and machine specifications. A good designer works to that dieline and hands back correctly built, print-ready artwork. It pays to involve both early so the design fits how the pack will actually be made.
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.
