Filton Packaging has reached two significant milestones that signal what it describes as a “new era of innovation and excellence” for the business.

The company has completed the installation of a brand-new Bobst flexographic printing press at its Dandenong South facility – a major investment aimed at boosting production capabilities and print quality.

According to Bobst, the press represents the latest in flexographic technology, offering enhanced print precision, faster turnaround times, and improved operational efficiency. For Filton, the installation underscores its focus on delivering premium packaging solutions that meet the evolving needs of its customer base.

“The new Bobst press allows us to deliver exceptional print results,” said Ryan Worthington, CEO of Filton Packaging. “It’s part of our broader strategy to invest in innovation and elevate the quality we provide across the board.”

Adding to its progress on the production front, Filton has also achieved FSSC 22000 certification – a globally recognised standard for food safety management systems. The certification reinforces the company’s commitment to maintaining high standards of hygiene, safety and quality throughout its operations, particularly in the food packaging sector.

“These developments reflect our strategic focus on innovation and quality,” Worthington said. “Our FSSC 22000 certification assures our customers that we meet the highest global standards for food safety. We’re proud of what our team has accomplished and excited for what’s ahead.”

With this dual achievement, Filton Packaging says it will continue to strengthen its position in the Australian packaging market – combining cutting-edge technology with globally benchmarked quality systems to deliver reliable, high-performance packaging solutions.
