Smart Pack

Our Business Development Manager Carl had what he thought was a brilliant idea. Now it's everyone's challenge.

The Smart Pack team is taking on The Push-Up Challenge - Australia this June, completing 3,307 push-ups in 24 days to raise awareness and funds for mental health.

We're hoping to come out the other side looking a bit more “superhero” and a bit less “office worker”. More importantly, we're helping raise awareness that nobody should face their toughest days alone.

If you'd like to support the team, we'd love your help.

“It’s hard to soar with the eagles when you’re surrounded by turkeys.” 🦅

Mainfreight trucks at Smart Pack HQ are nothing new, but this line on the back of one yesterday made us stop for a second.

Because honestly, that’s kind of how we see packaging too.

At Smart Pack, we’re not just about dropping bags at your door and disappearing into the sunset. We like being part of the team. The ones helping things run smoother, solving problems quickly, and making life a bit easier behind the scenes.

Basically… fewer turkeys. More people who just get stuff done 🤝

Smart people. Smart Pack.

Mason keeps the wheels turning in Sales Support, making sure customers have the bags they need, when they need them, without the 4:58pm Friday panic 😅

He’s also a part-time farmer, knows how to run a proper fence break, and always keeps a strop in the back of the ute, just in case 🚜

Each month, one of the team gets to choose where Smart Pack’s charitable donation goes, and this month Mason picked Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ

Considering 1 million Kiwis are living with respiratory disease, the work these guys do is pretty huge. From education and advocacy through to helping improve respiratory health outcomes across New Zealand, they’re supporting a lot of people every single day.

What makes it even more impressive is they do it without Government contract funding, relying on donations, sponsorships, and community support to keep doing what they do.

Good people doing seriously important work, and we’re proud to support it 💚

Smart people. Smart Pack.

A few coffees deep, a few swings in, and a few lollies floating around to keep the energy up, and the 2026 Annual Ambrose Golf Tournament is already shaping up to be a cracking day out ⛳️☕️🍬

Great to catch up with a few familiar faces off the warehouse floor and out on the fairways for a change. Smart Pack has shouted the coffees today, with the legends at Café Tango NZ keeping everyone properly fuelled.

And a huge thanks to Seed and Grain New Zealand for putting on another brilliant event.

Next time we will have to bring the clubs.........

Nothing worse than tackling the fairways without caffeine ☕️

We are stoked to be at the Annual Golf Tournament at Tinwald Golf Course today. Be sure to grab your coffee or hot drink before teeing off, compliments of Smart Pack.

Huge thanks to The Pukekohe Young Grower of the Year Committee for having us on Friday, and for doing such a fabulous job putting on an incredible event 👏

And a massive congratulations to the 2026 Pukekohe Young Grower of the Year, James Blair from A S Wilcox and Sons Ltd! 🌱

We can’t wait to follow your journey this year. We’re sure this is only the beginning of an exciting adventure ahead 🚜

Great to have Levi Currie and Hugo Cox on the ground at the Pukekohe Young Growers Competition of the Year event today 👏

Always a good opportunity to catch up with people across the onion and potato industry, have a few conversations, and support the next generation coming through the sector.

We hope everyone enjoys a coffee on us while they’re there ☕️

And a big good luck to all the contestants competing today. We’re looking forward to seeing how it all unfolds 👏

Smart support. Smart Pack.

That moment someone says:
“Hey… we’re nearly out of bags.” 😅

Usually at the absolute worst possible time.

The thing is, packaging is only one piece of the puzzle when you’re running a business. You’ve already got production, staffing, freight, customers, and about 47 other things fighting for attention.

That’s where we like to step in and feel less like a supplier, and more like part of the team.

From managed warehousing across Australia and New Zealand to forecasting, stock holding, and helping customers stay ahead of ordering, a big part of our job is taking this stuff off your plate so you can focus on the bigger picture.

Less chasing stock.
Less panic ordering.
Less “how quickly can you get this here?” moments.

Just one less thing to worry about.

If packaging stock management is becoming more stressful than it needs to be, let’s have a chat.

Smart packaging. Smart Pack.

The Smart Pack crew are gearing up for another big day at Food With Purpose - A PIX, AMC and APL event for the final day at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Site 168 has been humming over the last two days with genuinely great conversations around the packaging challenges businesses are facing right now, and our team has loved nutting out practical solutions and smarter ways Smart Pack can help.

If you’re in the area, swing by and say hi. And if you’re already heading to the expo, make sure you stop in, we hear the lads are still full of chat!

Smart conversations. Smart Pack.

Smart Pack has officially gone international 🇩🇪

The boys are on the ground at Interpack this week, soaking up what’s next in the world of packaging, manufacturing, automation, sustainability, AI… and probably a few bratwursts while they’re at it.

Because sometimes being there really is everything.

You can read about trends later. Or you can get in the room, see the tech up close, have the conversations, and bring fresh thinking home with you (alongside the mandatory duty free Toblerones).

And in an industry moving this fast, staying curious matters.

Smart packaging. Smart Pack.
