The Australian Institute of Packaging (AIP) has invited members to join a virtual tour of Zipform Packaging’s BRC Grade AA accredited manufacturing site in Perth, Australia on Wednesday, 10 March at 2-3pm.

Zipform Packaging is a sustainable packaging company focused on using new material and manufacturing technologies to increase the use of fibre as a functional packaging material. 

Zipform’s local manufacturing site is dedicated to the manufacture of rigid composite packaging for food and non-food markets. 

Manufactured on the region’s only linear formed composite pack manufacturing line, Zipform Packaging’s composite packs use more than 90 per cent paperboard content with a paper base and wall structure incorporating an integrated printed layer. 

This delivers both functional and aesthetic benefits of composite materials with multiple printing options available to promote the customer’s brand.

This virtual tour is available for AIP members only and the Zipform Packaging team, who will be available to answer questions during the tour.

Almondco and SunRice will be inducted into the Australian Export Awards Hall of Fame in 2026 in recognition of their outstanding and sustained contribution to Australian exporting.

Food and beverage manufacturers are facing a warehouse space crisis, and most of them did not see it coming. Production expanded, storage followed and over time, an organised operation became a fragmented footprint of disconnected warehouses, rising third-party costs, and a site nobody would have designed on purpose. Swisslog ANZ director of sales, Steve Dimitrovski, examines why the space problem is structural and how automation is helping manufacturers solve it without building a new site.

NSW Food and Beverage manufacturers are invited to join an upcoming information session at the Advanced Manufacturing Readiness Facility (AMRF) to learn about funding and support available to help businesses innovate, grow and improve competitiveness.
