Afripack 3.51

Afripack was founded in 1933 as Paper Sacks (SA). A number of organisational and name changes ensued, which have brought us to where we are today - a leading name in the South African flexible packaging industry with two main product lines:

Industrial packaging
Exclusive long-term flexible packaging supply agreements with several blue chip companies in the food, construction and chemical sectors led to our expansion into industrial flexible packaging in 2004, where we concentrated on the supply of paper-based printed products for the industrial packaging market.


Consumer packaging
In 2009 Afripack expanded its focus to consumer flexible packaging products and formed the Afripack Flexible Division. Production facilities in Durban, Paarl, Johannesburg and Mauritius were added as well as an in-house repro facility offering specialised desktop publishing and high-tech reproduction services. Together these facilities allow us to offer customers wide and narrow web flexible packaging, extrusion coating, flexographic printing, labels and other digitally created print products.

We are not simply satisfied with our status as a leading flexible packaging company. Our mission is to add sustainable value to all our stakeholders (customers, shareholders and employees) by providing superior flexible packaging solutions that are fast, focused and flexible.
