International Print Day

At BakPac, we’re all about celebrating print – and International Print Day 2024 is the perfect opportunity to show just how much we love what we do. This year’s theme, “Print Life,” couldn’t be a better fit for us. We live and breathe print every day. Being part of this exciting, creative, and ever-evolving industry fills us with pride.

But what makes life in print so rewarding? Let’s look at what we do, where we do it, and why we believe BakPac is such a great place to be.

What We Do: Flexible Packaging Experts with a Passion for Quality

We’re not your average packaging company. At BakPac, we specialise in digital flexible packaging. We create super high-quality pouches – like stand-up pouches, pillow pouches, and printed film – tailored to your exact needs. Whether you need short runs or bigger batches, we’ve got the machines and the know-how to make it happen, fast.

What sets us apart?

It’s simple: quality and speed. We get things done fast without ever compromising on the final product. Plus, we’re constantly growing. This year alone we have installed two HP Indigo 200K digital presses, and two Galaxy Packtech pouch makers. As a result we’ve become faster and more flexible than ever before.

And it’s not just about the machines – we’re a family-run business, and our people are the heart of it all. Our team’s expertise and dedication make everything we do possible. They care about their work and share our excitement for print. Want to meet the faces behind the magic? Check out our “Meet the team” video and find out who the real Guardians of the Galaxy are!

Where We Do It: Innovation in Brentwood

Our home base is in Brentwood, 30 minutes from London. We are part of the Baker Labels family – a company that’s been leading the way in the print industry for over 50 years. BakPac was born when we saw an opportunity to take what Bakers does with labels and push into flexible packaging. It’s been a wild ride, and we’ve loved every minute of growing and innovating in this space.

Recently, we hosted a HP Open House event, welcoming label and packaging manufacturers to our facility to show them how we’re shaking up the packaging industry. We love sharing what we’re doing and why we think the future of packaging is so exciting.

Moreover, with our expansion into a new unit on the same industrial estate, we now have even more space to house our Galaxy Packtech Pvt Ltd Pouch makers. The growth has significantly increased our production capabilities. More machines, more pouches, and most importantly, more opportunities to deliver high-quality, fast-turnaround solutions to our customers.

Who We Do It For: Serving All Kinds of Customers

We’re proud to work with a diverse range of customers, from end users to trade partners. Big brands, small startups, and everyone in between – we’ve got something for everyone.

Our customers come to us because we can do it all. From valved pouches for coffee pros to spouted pouches for liquids, we create packaging that’s not just functional but also looks incredible on the shelf. Additionally, with our MONO range of fully recyclable pouches, we’re helping brands meet the growing demand for sustainable packaging. Sustainability is a huge focus for us, and our MONO range is just one example of how we’re leading the way in eco-friendly solutions.

Whether you need a unique design, a specific finish, or just something that’s super practical and durable, we’ve got you covered. We love a challenge, so even if you’re not sure what you need, we can help you figure it out.

Why is Life in Print Rewarding?

Here’s the thing: print is everywhere – even if you don’t always notice it. From the vibrant packaging on your snacks to the labels on your morning coffee, print plays a huge role in our everyday lives. It’s what catches your eye in the supermarket and helps you choose your favourite products.

For us, working in print is incredibly rewarding. There’s nothing quite like seeing something you’ve worked on out there in the world, whether it’s on store shelves or in someone’s hands. It gives you a real sense of pride and accomplishment. And the best part? We’re not just making products – we’re making a difference. Our team works together at every stage, from sales and planning to production and despatch, to create something amazing. And when you see the end result, you know everyone played a part in it.

Print isn’t just about the final product – it’s about the journey. At BakPac, we’re all in it together. From the moment a customer reaches out, we’re collaborating, innovating, and making sure that what we deliver is nothing short of top-notch.
