About Us
O F Packaging at a glance
We are an industry-recognised packaging specialist in Australia. O F Packaging provides premium and innovative flexible and carton packaging to brands all around the world.
The O F Packaging rebrand was officially launched in 2019. This followed the merging of industry leaders Foster Packaging and Omniverse Group in 2016. Over the years, our group has evolved into a multi-sector packaging solutions provider, while maintaining the fundamental roots of client service and engagement that laid the foundation of our initial success.
We continue to push the boundaries of packaging design to meet changing consumer, business, and environmental needs. And our path forward is to collaborate with clients and form new ideas without impacting packaging performance or appeal.

Our Way Forward
Innovation and sustainability
We aim to be a leader in innovation and sustainable packaging solutions in Australia. Our major focus is flexible packaging and the challenges of creating soft plastic material structures that have better outcomes for reuse and recyclability.
The modern consumer landscape continues to shift and packaging technologies evolve with it. Flexible packaging now has an increasing role in mitigating problems related to food waste and food accessibility. O F Packaging is working to fully harness this potential with further innovation.
Our innovation efforts are anchored to functionality and sustainability as we seek to improve consumers’ waste behaviour and relationship with plastic through our education efforts. Moving forward, we want to inspire new respect for packaging and an evolved understanding of its place in society.
We’re not just your packaging supplier, we’re your packaging partner.

A Deeper Look Into Our Story
Packaging with integrity
This simple strategy helped spur O F Packaging’s growth from our core gravure business and pouch manufacturing, through to local specialised digital and flexographic printing. We continue to grow, now with our newest venture into the recycling space, O F Resource Recovery, and we are not done…
We maintain a unified identity across our entire business group by upholding high standards of service, innovation and collaboration. This allows us to have mutually-beneficial partnerships with clients that move beyond strict business. And one of our main goals is to continue expanding our manufacturing capacity to support a growing client base, without losing the distinct benefits that comes with the O F Packaging name.
Our Business Group
Our decades of industry knowledge and experience culminated in the establishment of four additional brands.
Plasticover
Serving the local market for over 20 years, Plasticover is a well-established name in the flexographic print packaging market in Melbourne, specialising in large-format bags and pouches from the manufacturing plant in Carrum Downs.
The Pouch Shop AU
The Pouch Shop provides small and medium-sized businesses in Australia and New Zealand with quality food packaging solutions, from unprinted off-the-shelf pouches to short-run custom digital print packaging to get brands off the ground running.
Innobag Closures
As the Australian alternative to Kwik Lok, our Inno Bagclosures division supplies the domestic market with a variety of clips and closures, including a range of paper-based ties.
O F Resource Recovery
O F Resource Recovery is the latest addition to the family. This new business is focused on the recovery industry for cartons and paper, and we can see the potential for expanding the current operation to eventually include soft plastic recovery. We look forward to offering a breadth of recovery and recycling services to O F Pack clients and the market in general.
