KEY POINTS OF DIFFERENCE
The team at Perennial Packaging are committed to offering innovative solutions to ensure all your packaging needs are not only met, but well exceeded.
We do this by providing key points of differences in innovation, quality, and service.
INNOVATION: Our capabilities in innovation delivers quality steel packaging products.
We have developed many innovative ‘first to market’ products to meet customer’s individual needs. Some examples include:
- DG Approved 2-3L tinplate open head pail with reseal lid and ring
- DG Approved 4-6L tinplate open head pail with reseal lid and ring
- 75mm diameter metal screw neck and cap closure
- Customised dual nozzle fitted reseal lids
We will continue to work closely with our customers to remain innovative, and to keep delivering quality industrial packaging solutions that are practical and relevant.
QUALITY: Our premium quality metal packaging products come with higher technical specifications.
Our products are manufactured with market leading tinplate gauge and quality, enabling us to achieve a higher specification pass on UN Dangerous Goods certification.
For example:
- Our 20L DG Approved Open Head Pails are manufactured using market leading 0.45mm tinplate gauge, and 7 roll bottom seam, which has allowed us to achieve at least an S.G pass of 1.4 on all our Packaging Group II certified pails and drums.
- We also use heavier tinplate gauge across our full tinplate packaging range.
Quality Control measures are in place to ensure consistent product quality which is vital in an industry that is highly regulated. All our tinplate packaging products are leak-tested using German engineered pressure testing machines prior to dispatch.
Furthermore, all components (for example: locking rings, bail ears, plastic bails, gaskets) are sourced according to specifications that exceed market standards.

Our experienced team at Perennial Packaging is dedicated to delivering solutions to our customers that offer a seamless and smooth transition to market. We offer an approach to service that is personalised and provides value-added results for satisfying your specific packaging requirements.

For floor stock items, we guarantee dispatch within 1-2 business days to Sydney metropolitan locations.
PACKAGING THE FUTURE
Current Market Conditions
The future of the steel packaging industry is evolving at a rapid rate within the Australian market. In recent years, can manufacturers have experienced an increased level of pressure to stay competitive in the market place.
Following the closure of Australia’s only local tinplate steel mill Bluescope Steel in April of 2007, local can manufacturers began sourcing raw materials from South East Asia.
With the exponential rise in the price of steel, fluctuating foreign exchange rates, and the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis in 2008, Australian can manufacturers needed to adapt to remain competitive and relevant to the needs of their customer base.
Perennial Packaging has emerged as an alternative supplier in the industrial tinplate packaging market in recent years. With its key strength being the ability to handpick best available materials and components, and combine this with manufacturing functions outsourced to top factories in China – the world’s booming manufacturing hub.
Our continuous investment in product innovation enables us to keep abreast of industry trends for continuous growth and sustainability. This is particularly important in a market where manufacturing costs are on the rise and customers are trending towards customised solutions, products and services.
Into the Future
An opportunity exists for companies such as Perennial Packaging with off-shore manufacturing capabilities to provide cost-effective, flexible and forward thinking solutions.
Perennial Packaging’s distribution model enables:
- advanced manufacturing facilities, systems, processes and machinery located off-shore but managed internally;
- industry best components and raw materials specifically sourced for market leading product quality; and
- a unique distribution model to cultivate innovation and remain cost-effective into the future.
As our namesake implies, we’re Perennial – constant and enduring. That’s why Perennial Packaging is proud to say we’re Packaging the Future.

Recent Sponsorships
St George College Graduate Exhibition, 2012 ‘Spectrum with Flying Colours’
“We initially connected with Perennial Packaging by recommendation from a local paint supplier. Perennial Packaging generously donated tin cans to sponsor the St George College Graduate Exhibition, 2012 – ‘Spectrum with Flying Colours’ showcasing the work of upcoming designers to the industry and the public. The tin cans were decorated in a variety of colours featuring the Spectrum with flying colours logo and used for installation and displays to reinforce the exhibition theme and concept of colour. It’s great to see local businesses supporting education in our community and encouraging the next generation of designers.”
