Melbourne combines Australia’s busiest container port, its largest food and beverage manufacturing base, and the country’s most active single-use plastics policy. Carewell Group supplies the full range of packaging products to Melbourne businesses with national distribution into the city’s industrial areas.

- Carewell can meet all your packaging needs in one place. Talk to our team and we will work to your required minimum order quantity.
Packaging in Melbourne
Melbourne’s packaging demand concentrates in three belts: the west (Truganina, Laverton North, Altona) with access to the Western Ring Road and the Port of Melbourne; the north (Campbellfield, Somerton, Epping), home to much of the city’s food manufacturing and cold-chain network; and the south-east (Dandenong South, Braeside, Keysborough). Fashion, homewares and lifestyle brands add a large direct-to-consumer channel on top. Two forces shape decisions here more than elsewhere: the scale of food and beverage production, and Victoria’s lead on single-use plastics reform.
