What Easternpak does
Easternpak (legal name: Eastern Company for Carton Manufacturing) is a Saudi Arabia-headquartered corrugated packaging manufacturer established in 1994 and operating as a division of Napco National, a diversified manufacturing and industrial consultancy group. From its manufacturing plant in Dammam's 2nd Industrial City, the company produces high-performance corrugated packaging across five categories — carriers, catering and delivery, shipping and transport, promotional and display solutions, and home and office organization — serving thirteen industry verticals including beverages (Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Nestlé), food service (KUDU, major pizza chains), e-commerce, agriculture, retail and FMCG, chemical and petrochemical, pharmaceuticals, and electrical appliances across the GCC, Levant, and African markets.
The technical stack centers on a single integrated Dammam plant equipped with a 2015 Fosber corrugating line, full process automation implemented in 2014, and over 200,000 installed solar PV panels producing more than 160,000 MWh annually in Lebanon and Egypt. Differentiated products include the proprietary Rhinopak® enhanced corrugated board (3- to 7-ply configurations, edge crush test up to 30 KN/m, grammage up to 1,800 GSM) and Traypak® agricultural trays. Supporting service lines include the Innovation Centre for R&D with design and simulation software and prototyping tools, the Digital Centre for digital printing with short-run and variable-print capabilities, and Indevco Data Exchange (IDX), an automated B2B integration platform for orders, RFQs, QA, logistics, and invoicing.
Easternpak operates a dual go-to-market model: enterprise B2B sales with quote-based custom manufacturing for large accounts, complemented by an E-Shop (easternpaktheshop.com) targeting SMEs with small-quantity packaging purchases. Pricing is quote-based for custom solutions, with E-Shop offering listed prices and cash-on-delivery. The company maintains ISO 9001 (2001), HACCP (2005), BRC/IoP (2007), FEFCO GMP (2007), YUM! Supplier Approval (2007), ISO 22000, and BRCGS certifications, and received the Arab Starpack Pro award in 2022 for packaging innovation.
