Pasco Packaging: leading the way in bag and sack trends

 In a recent conversation with the company’s CEO and founder Alberto De Faria, business development manager Bianca van der Vendel and head of DTP and design Ryan Adams, we gained valuable insights into their bag and sack offerings, the latest trends, and the company’s commitment to delivering top-quality products and services.

Alberto drew inspiration from European markets and introduced unique bags to South Africa, primarily serving the retail industries. Over time, bags have transformed from optional commodities to essential items, and Pasco Packaging has evolved in tandem with industry changes.

One of the standout features of Pasco Packaging is its unwavering commitment to maintaining the highest standards. Their investment in cutting-edge equipment sets the team apart. They boast a new six-colour flexo press with the capability to print up to 150m/min. This environmentally friendly machine uses water-based ink and is a testament to their dedication to sustainability. 

Furthermore, Pasco Packaging has advanced bag-making machines that ensure precise and square bag production, distinguishing it from competitors relying on substandard equipment. With an eye for quality, Pasco Packaging can replicate European bag designs, offering South African customers products that meet global standards.

Keeping an eye on international trends is integral to Pasco Packaging’s success. They frequently attend trade shows in Europe to source innovative ideas and stay ahead of the curve. One such trend they’re embracing is the introduction of e-commerce paper bags, reflecting the dedication to providing unique solutions in the paper bag industry. Notably, Pasco Packaging is driving the shift from plastic to paper in the South African market, particularly in the e-commerce sector. This shift requires a change in consumer mindset, and Pasco Packaging is at the forefront of this transformation. 

The company’s efficiency is a hallmark of its operation. With an impressively low waste rate of less than 2% and minimal human intervention, Pasco Packaging minimises mistakes and maximises production. Its quick turnaround time for samples, delivered within 24 hours, shows the commitment to hands-on customer engagement. 

The personal touch is another essential aspect of Pasco Packaging’s approach. The team offers customers the opportunity to see physical samples, an invaluable service when transitioning from plastic to paper. Their promise is excellent service, product quality, and competitive pricing, all in a personable and accommodating manner. 

With the team’s dedication to innovation, the coming years will see Pasco Packaging playing a significant role in the paper bag market, particularly in e-commerce. The company’s focus on sustainability, efficiency, and unparalleled service ensures that it remains at the forefront of bag and sack trends in South Africa. Pasco Packaging’s success story is a testament to its commitment to delivering top-quality packaging solutions. Their investment in state-of-the-art equipment, dedication to sustainability, and relentless pursuit of innovation position the team as thought leaders in the industry. As it continues to adapt and expand, Pasco Packaging is undoubtedly a key player in the ever-evolving world of bag and sack trends.
