PACKNET

What PACKNET does

PACKNET (株式会社パックネット) is a privately held Japanese corporation established in November 1964 and incorporated in May 1968 with stated capital of 30 million yen (3,000万円). The company designs, develops, and supplies packaging materials across five core verticals — agricultural products, processed foods, seafood, industrial products, and textiles — together with care articles (disposable sheets) and stationery. Operations run from an Osaka head office, a Tokyo branch, and a Taiwan office in New Taipei City.

Its technology foundation centers on environmental material science: the company has obtained an FSC Promotion License, Plastics Smart certification from Japan's Ministry of the Environment, and an SDGs Declaration through the Osaka Prefecture project, and is publicly committed to converting 50% of currently sold plastic packaging materials to recycled PET, biomass plastic, or biodegradable plastic by 2030. Custom design and production capabilities extend to form-fit industrial trays, moisture- and cold-resistant seafood packaging, and textile retail packaging.

Commercially, PACKNET generates revenue through one-time material sales and professional service engagements (creative planning, design, in-store POP, promotional goods, and campaign operation management) sold via direct sales and inside-sales contact channels (phone, fax, email). The customer base spans multiple sectors without publicly disclosed named logos, and pricing is quote-based rather than standardized. Privacy and data-handling compliance is maintained through a Privacy Mark certification, with Personal Information Protection Manager Matsuda Tetsuji (松田 哲二) overseeing the program under President and CEO Adachi Yuki (安達 由記).
