BakPac Installs 7th Pouchmaker – Because Standing Still Isn’t an Option

Most manufacturers can handle volume.
Fewer can handle complexity.
Almost none can do both-at speed.

BakPac has installed its 7th pouchmaker-another decisive step in scaling our UK flexible packaging manufacturing capability while strengthening the agility our customers rely on.
Because this isn’t just about producing more.
It’s about producing more, across more jobs, with more flexibility-without slowing down.
This latest installation-our 6th Galaxy press-replaces our original Galaxy pouchmaker from September 2023, bringing our entire pouchmaking operation up to a single, high-performance standard.

This Isn’t Growth. It’s a Strategy.

We don’t invest reactively. We build deliberately.

Since introducing Galaxy technology, we’ve continuously expanded-most notably last year with two additional pouchmakers to increase UK pouch manufacturing capacity.

Every machine we install is shaped by real-world production demands. Not theory. Not forecasts. Reality.

And It Delivers-At Scale

This isn’t about having more machines. It’s about what they enable.
We’ve already proven what’s possible-delivering over 1 million pouches in a single week.

Now we’re proving it wasn’t a one-off.

That level of output is becoming standard. Consistent. Repeatable. Expected.

And it’s not coming from a handful of high-volume runs.

It’s being delivered across hundreds of jobs-small, medium, and large-running side by side.
Short runs. Complex jobs. High-volume production. All moving through the same system.

That’s the difference.

Real scale isn’t just about volume.It’s about handling complexity at speed-without breaking flow.

Because when your operation is built properly, big numbers stop being milestones-they become the norm.

So Why Replace a Machine That Still Works?

Because “works” isn’t the benchmark.

Our original Galaxy pouchmaker did its job-but it couldn’t keep up with what the rest of our fleet can now do. Different capabilities create friction. Friction slows everything down.

So we removed it.

No weak links. No limitations. No compromises.

One Standard. Total Control.

Now, all five Galaxy pouchmakers can run any job, at any time.

That means:
• No machine restrictions
• No scheduling bottlenecks
• No inconsistent output

Just:
• Faster turnaround
• Smarter scheduling
• Reliable, repeatable quality

Exactly what our customers expect.

Built Around What Customers Actually Need

This isn’t about machines. It’s about outcomes.

Our customers need:
• Speed without sacrificing quality
• Flexibility across materials and formats
• Confidence that every run will match the last

That’s exactly what this upgrade delivers.

As BakPac Production Supervisor Harvey Dailly puts it:
“The previous machine limited what we could run. Now, every machine can take any job. That gives us full flexibility-and that changes everything in how we plan and deliver.”

Watch Harvey talk through the improvements of the new pouchmaker.

We Don’t Settle. We Standardise Upwards.

Most businesses live with limitations.

We engineer them out.

This upgrade isn’t a one-off-it’s how we operate:
• Constant investment
• Continuous improvement
• Relentless optimisation

Because in flexible packaging, if you’re standing still-you’re already behind.

What This Means Going Forward

Seven pouchmakers. One standard. Zero compromises.

BakPac is now positioned to deliver high-volume, high-quality flexible packaging at speed-without the usual constraints.

And we’re not slowing down.
