Packaging with Purpose.
Food and beverage packaging manufactured in South Africa, featuring innovative aqueous barrier technology and home compostable solutions.
Three things set us apart
Locally manufactured cups, paper bowls and takeaway food packaging, with home compostable and custom printed options — built for performance.
Aqueous coating
Our cups and food packaging use a water based barrier coating instead of a plastic film, certified home compostable, and easily recyclable in conventional streams.
Manufacturer & importer
Bio-Pak manufactures core ranges locally in Cape Town, including South Africa’s first locally made 200ml paper vending cup, and imports complementary lines to keep the full range in stock — giving hospitality, retail and packaging distribution partners reliable supply and shorter lead times.
Built for the job
High quality packaging designed for performance, leak and grease resistance, engineered for real foodservice conditions.
Cups, bowls & takeaway packaging
Hot and cold cups, tubs and lids, bagasse and kraft containers, bakery boxes, cutlery and straws — all leak-proof, biodegradable and home compostable.
