Local packaging solutions and the power of supporting Australian businesses

Australians have always taken pride in the strength of our manufacturing industry. With 900,000 employees and an annual economic contribution of $100 billion, there’s nothing more powerful than our network of local manufacturers. The strength of the industry speaks to its quality – we know that Australian made products are high grade, with stringent standards and results that speak for themselves. Engaging with the network of high quality producers in Australia means setting up for success, because we know that a strong industry is evidence of great foundations, and ultimately great outcomes. It’s why packaging solutions provided by Luminar and Packserv, both certified Australia Made businesses, are unparalleled. Ultimately, Australian manufacturers, with decades of experience, know how to get the best results.

Australian Made Week

The latest initiative from Australian Made is Australian Made Week, which will run from May 24-May 30. Look for the Australian Made logo, and remember that products bearing the symbol stand for more than just being made in Australia – it stands for quality, passion, and strong industries that power a strong country. Engaging local services like manufacturing puts businesses and consumers in the best possible position for success, and Australian Made Week is all about celebrating those successes.

Luminar and Packserv together

In practice, local companies are well-placed to provide the best possible outcomes for consumers. Luminar and Packserv – a company that provides packaging equipment hire and other services – both have the opportunity to keep business local, forging a relationship as part of the same customer journey in packaging.

Packserv has recently invested in bolstering its services by acquiring 26 new packaging machines, designed to service the FMCG, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, with a focus on providing services at SME-friendly rates. Other services include packaging equipment rentals, technical support, installation, maintenance and repair. With 75 years of experience, Packserv is well-placed to assist in the production of packaging, and provide an important service as an Australian company.

Luminar completes the cycle. While Packserv provides packaging solutions for many scenarios, Luminar produces packaging in the form of stand up pouches, roasted coffee bags and rewind and flow wrap, and all with a green, sustainable focus. Luminar offers plastic-free packaging options, with biodegradable packaging that will decompose in just 26 weeks. Luminar also fulfills other important requirements by providing labelling options to take simple packaging to a new level. Labelling is often underestimated, but Luminar understands the importance of beautiful packaging in winning over customers, and creating a great brand.

In both cases, the strength of the services are bolstered by knowledge, years of experience, and a great local network of suppliers.

Supporting Local

Australia has a strong network of packaging providers and associated businesses, and there are some real advantages in terms of quality, care and experience that comes along with keeping your business locals.

Australian made and owned means real quality. Australian businesses like Luminar and Packserv have decades of experience, understand the industry, and are better equipped to meet your needs. Working with local producers and suppliers means taking pride in the experience of fellow Australians, and the chance to achieve results that can simply not be matched by taking shortcuts or sending business offshore. There are real, tangible quality benefits in choosing to support Australian business.

Supporting local means more than just keeping those dollars in Australia. There’s a significant environmental concern to international shopping, with shipping overseas creating a real burden on the environment. Keeping things local means fewer shipping miles, as well as a lower transport cost overall. You can be proud to keep business local, not just by supporting great Aussie producers and suppliers, but also by ensuring that those choices continue to keep Australia’s environment pristine for our future.
