As independent brewers, you know that every decision you make reflects your brand’s values – from sourcing ingredients to how your beer reaches your customers. At PakTech, we’re helping brewers like you take sustainability and efficiency to the next level with our innovative multipack handles.

For over 30 years, PakTech has been designing and manufacturing secondary packaging solutions that make a real difference. Our handles are made from 100% recycled HDPE plastic (think milk bottles) and are fully recyclable again, supporting a true circular economy. That means every PakTech handle not only helps reduce plastic waste but also gives materials already in circulation a new life – keeping your packaging aligned with your commitment to sustainability.

But it’s not just about the environment – it’s about your bottom line too. PakTech handles are engineered for strength and ease of use. They’re lightweight yet durable, allowing your customers to carry multipacks comfortably without worrying about breakage. Plus, our range of applicator machines fits seamlessly into operations of all sizes, from small craft breweries to large-scale producers, giving you the flexibility to scale as you grow.

By using PakTech Australian made can handles, we’re proud to be re-using locally made recycled packaging that can be re-used again and again. Our team takes pride in finding new ways to collect and reuse our handles within our business. As a regional indie brewer PakTechs also give us the flexibility we need for regular innovation and NPD”.
