Pope Packaging 2 min read

We’ve upgraded our paper sack manufacturing to deliver faster, cleaner, and more sustainable packaging, proudly made in Australia for agriculture, food, and industrial sectors.

Backed by 70+ years of local expertise and a commitment to sustainability, this investment keeps us ready for the future. We’ve taken our paper sacks production to the next level with a multimillion-dollar investment in state-of-the-art W&H machinery. This upgrade pushes output to 400 bags per minute, while also improving product strength and consistency.

As a result, we’re delivering better quality, generating less waste, and building stronger supply chains for our customers.
