Not the biggest, but certainly the best
To the average consumer, packaging is an afterthought. But given the time to consider it, packaging is extremely important for a lot of reasons. On the business side, packaging represents a company’s brand; it is the customer’s first experience with a product and, thus, plays a significant role in the ultimate purchasing decision. To the consumer, packaging represents product safety and preservation, as well as a source of information.
If anyone understands the significance of such things, it is Pacmar. Located on the outskirts of Wellington, South Africa, the company began operations in February of 1997, and is currently packaging for large brands in the local and international markets. Specialising in liquids, Pacmar packages wine, fruit juice and other beverages, in both aseptic (sterile) and preserved forms.
With personnel that have collectively spent many years in both the fruit and flavour industries, Pacmar has a team that is able to offer technical expertise and support in a range of areas within the food industry. From product development to final product, the company has a comprehensive contract packaging service tailored to suit the specific needs of both local and international clients. This experience also serves Pacmar itself as the company has its own brand of juices: Wilde, Crystal Falls and Zing Fruit Juices
Quality first
Pacmar prides itself on offering the best available in quality. For packaging, that means the materials used on the lines are not only checked by the suppliers’ quality control—who are governed by the printing association of South Africa—but are also checked by the company’s own incoming inspection and quality control department before any packaging can begin. Pacmar does not use substandard packaging materials that can, in any way, have an impact on product quality.
As for Pacmar’s own juice products, the company offers only premium beverages. To ensure that all products adhere to its stringent standard, Pacmar is a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) approved production facility that is constantly monitoring all of its raw materials, ingredients, packaging material and final product throughout the entire process.
In fact, several analytical tests are performed per production run to make certain each product is of the highest quality. Furthermore, microbiological analysis is carried out on each batch, as are regular inspections and retention samples for referencing. Continually improving wherever possible, Shelf-life surveys are conducted to ensure that all products meet their specified expiry dates, and consumer research and feedback is regularly sought out.
Quenching the world’s thirst
Situated close to Cape Town harbour, South Africa’s main port, Pacmar brands are shipped all over the world. With agents in various countries—such as Angola, Ghana, Canada, United States, Japan, Australia, Mauritius and Kenya—Pacmar is continuously increasing the product footprint and assisting agents to excel.
In a market that is indispensible to businesses and customers alike, the packaging industry finds itself is the fortunate position of expecting continued success well into the future. And with a quality-first approach, years of expertise and a passion to see its business expand into new areas, Pacmar has set itself apart amongst the competition as a company that will rise to the top and bring its clients along for the ride.
