Australian-based manufacturer Zipform Packaging’s team will be showcasing its award winning linear formed composite packaging (PIDA Awards 2021, 2022, 2023 and Worldstar Awards 2022, 2024) alongside its broad range of fibre packaging for multiple markets.

The company says its composite packs contain over 90 per cent fibre, are deemed kerbside recyclable due to the very high fibre recovery through the pulping process, and contain over 60 per cent recycled content, meaning the packaging already meets the 2025 National Packaging Targets for brand owners.

Zipform has invested over $8 million in a new manufacturing facility in Melbourne, which opened in August 2023. The site showcases the linear-formed composite technology and means that Zipform has capacity to grow alongside its ever-expanding customer base.

Its stand will showcase some of the brands that have already transitioned to this sustainable packaging format. Zipform will also be presenting emerging technologies in fibre-based packaging that will drive fibre content even higher.

Visit Zipform at Stand D001. APPEX is taking place on 12-15 March at the Melbourne Convention & Exhibition Centre. Free registration is open now.
