In a remarkable feat for the UK’s flexible packaging industry, BakPac has achieved a record-breaking production milestone manufacturing over 1 million digitally printed stand-up pouches in just one week. This achievement places the Brentwood-based operation firmly at the forefront of high-volume, fast-turnaround pouch production in the country.
The milestone follows a wave of strategic investments, including the installation of two additional Galaxy Packtech pouchmakers, bringing BakPac’s total to five. These machines are backed by cutting-edge HP Indigo 200K digital presses, installed earlier in 2024, that power high-quality, customisable print solutions across a wide range of packaging applications.
“We’ve built BakPac for performance consistent, fast, and scalable,” said Steve Baker, Managing Director of Bakers. “This milestone proves just how much ground we can cover in a short space of time. It’s a testament to our team and the technology we’ve invested in.”
Built for Speed, Sustainability, and Scale
BakPac’s setup is designed to serve today’s fast-moving brands. From short runs to major commercial volumes, the company is delivering mono-material, digitally printed stand-up pouches with turnaround times as quick as 7 to 10 days. The move also supports sustainable production goals with recyclable materials and UK-based manufacturing that reduces transportation impact.
Key highlights from BakPac’s recent growth include:
- 5 Galaxy Packtech high-speed pouchmakers
- 2 HP Indigo 200K digital presses
- An expanded UK production facility
- A precision-focused operations team
“This is what BakPac was built for,” said Harry Baker, Sales & Operations. “We’re delivering high-volume pouch production with speed and flexibility across SKUs, sectors, and sizes without compromising quality.”
A Partner for Growing Brands
Serving sectors from snacks and sports nutrition to pet treats and household goods, BakPac offers end-to-end pouch production under one roof. Whether for emerging startups or established enterprises, the ability to rapidly deliver sustainable, custom-branded pouches makes BakPac a go-to partner for modern packaging solutions.
As BakPac celebrates this milestone, the focus remains firmly on what’s ahead: scaling further, innovating faster, and continuing to support brands that need quality, agility, and environmental responsibility in their packaging partners.
