56 | Packaging solutions for business Pakworld looks inside the box to gain a deep understanding of its customers’ products to determine the optimum size, shape, and weight of their packaging. INDUSTRY Pakworld International Kelly Deeks Print packaging company Pakworld International is providing an impeccable customer service model in a market which is becoming more and more competitive as materials continue to increase in price. “Many printers can put ink on cardboard, but the best results come from a print packaging company that understands your business, knows how to market, knows how to get the best out of the packaging materials, and has been doing so for a long time,” says Pakworld General Manager, Mike Murphy. “We exist to help our customers get the business success they want through investment in packaging solutions that place their brand ahead of their competitors.” Pakworld International is a family business started by printing industry stalwart Bill Flett in 1980, when he bought the commercial and print packaging company he was managing. Bill’s sons Chris and Jonathan bought the business in 2002, allowing Bill to semi-retire. The second generation saw an opportunity to focus fully on print cardboard packaging and they invested heavily in print technology, seeing the company rapidly grow. In 2017, Pakworld was bought by Tumblar Products, another family owned business and one of Pakworld’s biggest customers. From one family to another, Pakworld’s commitment to family values and passion for perfect packaging solutions continues today. Today, Pakworld is operated by a team of long-term staff who have all been in the industry for many years. The team has more than 100 years of combined print and packaging experience, and this has been undertaken with open eyes and ears. “We listen, participate, learn, and understand the needs of our clients,” Mike says. “But most of all, we love what we do. “We’ve got the experience, forward-thinking, and down-to-earth approach that creates partnerships that last.” Pakworld creates customised solutions for its clients, working with them on everything from packaging design and construction to materials, printing, finishing effects, sustainability, cost savings, storage, and logistics. Mike says packaging design is about balancing brand and buyer appeal with practical functionality. “Because we have been doing this a long time, we have all the insider knowledge when it comes to efficient packing, storing and distribution, and cost-effective freight and delivery.” “Consideration has to be given to numerous requirements, including strength, durability and ease of use, product protection, health and safety, food hygiene standards, ease of filling, stacking, packing, and shipping.” Pakworld looks inside the box to gain a deep understanding of its customers’ products to determine the optimum size, shape, and weight of their packaging.
