What Integrated Packaging does

Integrated Packaging is a Melbourne-headquartered manufacturer of flexible packaging films and associated equipment, founded in 1982 and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ASX-listed Pro-Pac Packaging Group (PPG) following a $177.5 million merger completed in November 2017. The company is the largest local manufacturer of plastic stretch film and associated equipment in Australia, operating six manufacturing plants across Australia and New Zealand (Reservoir, Somerton, Kewdale, Kirrawee, Regency Park, Auckland) plus an Integrated Recycling facility in Mildura, with approximately 400 employees and 50,000+ tonnes of annual extrusion capacity augmented by a market-leading 7-Layer Co-Extrusion line commissioned in 2021.

Its product portfolio spans blown and cast stretch films, PVC food films, BOPP films, perforated films (including the exclusive Australian PerfoTec Laser Perforation license), laminated and printed films, flow wrap and lidding films, agricultural films, and the Everlution sustainable film sub-brand with 20-50% recycled content. Adjacent offerings include Lantech-distributed stretch wrapping machinery, accessories, and the Integrated Recycling subsidiary's patented Polytensilate-based Envire range of composite recycled plastic products and Duratrack railway sleepers. The company holds ISO 9001 and HACCP certifications and participates in the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation and Australian Vinyl Council Product Stewardship Program.

Integrated Packaging generates revenue primarily through B2B hardware sales of films, bags, and load-containment products to food and beverage manufacturers, fresh produce growers, industrial logistics operators, FMCG brands, and major retailers including Coles, Woolworths, and Aldi, with government infrastructure customers such as Queensland Rail. Distribution operates via a direct field-sales force and a national distribution network across Australia and New Zealand. The go-to-market combines sales-led engagement with industry event participation (e.g., Hort Connections) and content marketing, while the pricing model is quote-based with no public price list. The combined PPG/IPG entity was projected at over $450 million in annual sales following the 2017 merger, with IPG contributing the majority of the flexibles division revenue.
