Since 1975, Packaging Products Production has been at the forefront of New Zealand's packaging and product identification industry.

What began as a small local operation has evolved into one of the country’s most trusted and comprehensive packaging solution providers, serving businesses of all sizes across diverse industries throughout New Zealand.
Our journey spans five decades of continuous innovation, adaptation, and growth. From our humble beginnings with basic label printing to today’s sophisticated multi-technology production facility, we have consistently invested in the latest equipment and techniques to ensure our clients receive the highest quality products and services available in the market.

Our Heritage

The foundation of Packaging Products Production was built on a simple yet powerful principle: providing New Zealand businesses with reliable, high-quality packaging solutions that help their products succeed in the marketplace. This commitment to excellence has remained unchanged throughout our 50-year history, even as we have expanded our capabilities and embraced new technologies.

Over the decades, we have witnessed and participated in the transformation of New Zealand’s business landscape. We have supported countless local businesses as they have grown from small startups to major enterprises, providing them with the packaging and identification solutions they needed at every stage of their development. This long-term perspective and deep understanding of the New Zealand market gives us unique insights into what businesses truly need to succeed.

At Packaging Products Production, our mission is to be New Zealand’s most trusted partner for packaging, labelling, and product identification solutions. We achieve this by combining our extensive industry experience with cutting-edge technology, exceptional customer service, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

We believe that effective packaging and product identification are crucial elements in business success.

Our role is to help businesses communicate their brand values, protect their products, and create positive customer experiences through superior packaging solutions.

We continuously invest in the latest equipment and techniques to ensure we can offer our clients the most advanced solutions available. Our state-of-the-art facility houses cutting-edge digital printing equipment, traditional offset presses, and specialised production machinery that enables us to handle virtually any packaging or identification requirement.

Customer Partnership

We view our relationships with clients as true partnerships. We take the time to understand each business’s unique requirements, challenges, and objectives, then work collaboratively to develop solutions that exceed expectations.

Local Commitment

As a proudly New Zealand-owned and operated business, we have a deep commitment to supporting local industry and contributing to our community’s economic success. We understand the unique challenges and opportunities that New Zealand businesses face, and we tailor our services accordingly.

Our Technology and Capabilities

Our production facility represents a significant investment in the most advanced packaging and printing technologies available. We have carefully selected equipment that allows us to offer the broadest possible range of services while maintaining the flexibility to handle projects of any size or complexity.

Digital Printing Excellence

Our digital printing capabilities centre around the HP Indigo 6K press, renowned for its exceptional print quality and versatility. This sophisticated machine delivers print resolutions of up to 1200 x 1200 dpi with 7-colour printing capabilities, including CMYK plus Orange, Violet & Green, Lightfast Cyan, Lightfast Magenta, White, and metallic silver. This technology enables us to produce vibrant, detailed prints with colour accuracy that rivals traditional offset printing, while offering the flexibility of digital production for short runs and variable data applications.

Complementing our HP Indigo system is the Mark Andy Digital 1, which provides additional digital printing capabilities for short-run CMYK applications. This combination ensures we can handle any digital printing requirement efficiently and cost-effectively.

Traditional Offset Printing

Our three letterpress systems provide high-volume commercial printing capabilities with exceptional colour reproduction. These presses excel at producing large quantities of labels and packaging materials to specified Pantone colours or CMYK, offering cost-effective solutions for substantial production runs. Our offset capabilities include hot stamp foiling, embossing, spot varnishing, and various specialty finishing options.

Substrate Versatility

Both our digital and offset printing systems can accommodate an extensive range of substrates, including coated papers, textured wine papers, synthetic materials, vinyl, polyester, cardstock, tamper-proof materials, and heat and chemical-resistant substrates. This versatility ensures we can select the perfect material for any application, regardless of environmental demands or aesthetic requirements.

Specialised Production

Beyond traditional printing, our facility includes equipment for engraving, screen printing, UV printing, and resin coating. These capabilities allow us to work with virtually any material and create products that meet the most demanding specifications for durability, appearance, and functionality.
