Get Packed Pty Ltd (ABN 47 074 596 197) is located at 12 Cook Street, Forestville, Sydney.

We supply packaging materials and packaging machinery to suit a range of industries across Australia, primarily as a wholesaler. Our packaging materials include anything from packaging tapes, taping machines, strapping and strapping machines, stretch wrap for hand wrapping as well as for pallet wrapping machinery as well as shrink film and shrink wrapping machinery. Our range of packaging materials and machinery would suit anyone from a small at home or online retailer to a large industrial warehouse and we include not only a range of protective packaging like bubble wrap, padded mailer bags and Instapak foam packaging, but we also have an environmentally friendly range of packaging that includes degradable as well as those that encompass the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle mantra. Get Packed is an Australian owned company that has been in business for more than 29 years and our expertise and range of packaging has grown over the years so that we can provide a complete service to all of our customers.

Australian owned and supporter of Australian companies
Get Packed is a strong supporter of Australian manufacturers and believe in the consistency, quality, and the reliability of Australian manufactured products, so wherever possible we source our products from Australia. We do however understand that we live in a global community and realise that Australia can’t and doesn’t produce everything, so we import those products necessary from around the world.

 

The Australian Packaging and Processing Machinery Association (APPMA) represents Australia's leading packaging and processing machinery and allied components companies of which Get Packed has become part of the network. APPMA's objective is to promote, integrate and foster participation amongst its members.

Your Partner in Packaging
We take pride in actually asking the questions that determine not only what you are looking to buy but why you are looking for a particular item. Put simply - we want to know about and listen to your needs. These questions are commonly over-looked as many sales reps simply want to make the sale and make money. We would rather collaborate with you to find the best item that suits you, not necessarily the cheapest thing available as this may not suit you, and maybe not the most expensive either as it may have too much capacity - and that works for both of us. If you're happy then we're happy - this makes your job easier, it increases your ability to do your job, it makes you more efficient, it can save you money and hopefully you'll look to us to do more business in the future - and maybe even recommend us.

 

Environmentally friendly product range
At Get Packed we understand the importance of providing an Environmentally Friendly range of packaging for our customers. Keeping this in mind, our range of Enviro Packaging stays within the mantra Reduce Reuse and Recycle - therefore all of our environmentally friendly packaging is either partially degradable or has been made from fully or partially recycled content, or has been created with less material with at least the same strength and integrity as it's original.

We have also acknowledged the food shortage around the world commonly due to food perishing and so we also supply a range of packaging that will extend the shelf life of food - whilst not necessarily environmentally friendly in itself - it saves on many other environmental costs created due to tonnes of wasted food around the world. (View our article on "The Plastic Packaging Issue and Reducing Food Waste")

Items to consider in this range are; Water Activated Tape and relevent dispensers, Kraft paper carry bags, Recycled Newsprint wrapping paper, corrugated cardboard rolls, Brown Kraft Paper rolls, cardboard mailing tubes and stiffened paper/cardboard mailers, recycled content padded mailers and even some machinery that helps you create your own recycled packaging from old cardboard cartons. We supply a Void Fill that is starch based (Bio-Fill) so will break down with water. We are encouraging customers to switch from Steel Strapping to Polyester Strap which has a high recycled component. Both our Stretch Wrap Film and Shrink Film are available in a lower gauge meaning less plastic waste but with increased in impact strength as well as puncture resistance, as well as a Pre-Stretched (Pallet wrap) variety so less plastic is required. We are constantly looking for ways that Get Packed can help to do its bit for the environment. Click here to see our Environmentally Friendly range of packaging.
