Heated competition
All eyes were on the prize
on our recent team day. Culinary creativity and target practice made for lots of fun and a touch of healthy friction for the Universal Packaging crew this March.
Supporting flood-hit communities
Assistance was needed rapidly for many in the North Island after the recent disastrous flooding. Thinking inside the box and above and beyond the everyday has been vital for ensuring isolated communities can receive the necessary care and support.
Welcome to the team: Meet our new General Manager
Kylie Taylor has now worked in the packaging industry for over 25 years.
The Great Universal Bake-off
In September the Universal Packaging team launched our inaugural baking challenge.
Looking on the UPside
We’ve had a busy start to the year! During these times it can be easy to lose sight of the big picture with all the ‘head down, get it done’ each day. A fun-filled day out was just what the doctor ordered…
And that’s a wrap!
Last year some of the team starred in the light-hearted look at hand-wrapping happiness with an exciting new product combo: The BOLT and NanoLite. After the video debuted a few questions naturally arose. Did Dave have an agent? Was the rumour of Nadia auditioning for Shortland St true? Did Matt blow the make-up and catering budget for the shoot? Had Taika Waititi been on phone with offers of roles in his latest film?
A world of difference
After all the little challenges and big news of 2021, this time of year is always as good for introspection and reflection as it is strategising and planning.
Package Deal: Spicers NZ and Universal Packaging
At the end of November Spicers NZ acquired Universal Packaging – the sale was the culmination of many months of hard work behind the scenes by both companies.
A Class Act
In June we hosted a training programme for our service team. It was the perfect opportunity to up-skill our technicians and ensure everyone can continue to provide the most efficient and effective maintenance, repair and general servicing work.
Looking back on the pack
2021 marks three and a half decades in business for Universal Packaging.
