Stackpack Pty Ltd — A Sustainable Forward-Thinking Pack
At Networkpak, we manufacture Stackpack, a cartonboard formed tray developed as a practical alternative to traditional plastic fruit punnets. The objective was simple: create a sustainable, forward-thinking pack that helps fresh produce suppliers and retailers reduce plastic while maintaining strong presentation, protection and performance.
Stackpack has been designed for the fresh produce category, where packaging needs to protect fruit, support shelf appeal and perform through the supply chain. By using cartonboard in place of plastic, we provide a more responsible packaging option that aligns with the sustainability ambitions of major Australian retailers, including Coles and Woolworths, who continue to focus on reducing plastic and improving packaging recyclability.
The product also offers commercial benefits. Its formed tray design helps protect fruit during packing, transport and display, while supporting airflow and reducing handling damage.
This can assist in extending shelf life, lowering product waste and improving the amount of sellable stock available in-store.
For retailers and suppliers, reduced waste can lead to fewer markdowns, better product availability and improved profitability. Stackpack is therefore not only a sustainability-led packaging solution, but also a practical business tool.
We manufacture Stackpack to help brands and retailers move towards packaging that is simpler, smarter and more future-ready. It gives the market a cartonboard-based alternative to plastic punnets, while supporting the shared goal of creating better packaging outcomes for produce, retailers and consumers.
