Introduction

Welcome to the JMP Holdings Packaging Blog. The aim of this blog is to help people find the solution to their packaging problems.

JMP Holdings began back in 1998 as a small family run operation based in Dandenong, Victoria and has since expanded by opening offices nation wide and overseas. We specialise in four main areas including retail packaging, disposable and compostable packaging, cargo care protection products and bulk product movement.

JMP is now based out of a purpose built warehouse facility in Mordialloc Victoria. Representatives of JMP travel the globe on a monthly basis sourcing the most advanced packaging products available. We have built a network of suppliers spanning across most continents and help develop products in order to meet the varying demands for each market we trade in.

Since day one, JMP has always placed a major emphasis on finding products that are enviro friendly. Throughout this blog I will introduce many products which have been developed with the sole intention of replacing older, less earth friendly alternatives.

JMP has never taken the ‘green’ angle lightly. Many companies come and go with false green claims, however JMP carefully analyses each option and ensures the right certifications have been met. A recent example of this is our approval for the compostable supermarket bag. JMP now imports a corn starch bio-plastic bag which has been certified to meet the Australian Standard AS4736:2006. This bag unlike standard plastic bags will compost 100% under the specified conditions. This bag can be used legally in states like South Australia, where legislation has been passed to control what packaging is allowed to be used in their retail and supermarket environment.

So stay tuned to the blog as I intend to update it product by product, week by week.
