Pushing the Boundaries of Paper Sack Manufacturing

Pope Packaging NZ 1 min read

Pope Packaging is pushing the boundaries of paper sack manufacturing following one of the most significant investments in the history of our Paper Sacks division.

Our major facility upgrade is now complete, with our expanded production capability in action and paper sacks running at speeds of up to 380 bags per minute.

The substantial increase in capacity strengthens our ability to support customers across Australia and New Zealand, while preparing our business for continued growth and future demand.

Fourteen years after investing in our first production line, this latest investment marks another major step forward in Pope Packaging’s paper sack manufacturing journey.

Watch our expanded production capability in action.
