Why Toorak
We are the experts in specialist anti-corrosion packaging and asset preservation.
We think outside the box
Packaging isn’t about packing products – it’s about protection. Whether you’re using cardboard, or ply, or INTERCEPT Technology® products, plastic returnables, wood or corrugated, the best packaging is a one-off, customised solution designed to protect your assets or goods, in whatever environment or conditions they encounter.
At Toorak, we are problem solvers first, packagers second.
We always make a site visit as early as possible, so we can see the challenge for ourselves, and talk to your team. There’s no substitute for seeing things with our own eyes. Once we have assessed the job, we’ll design and create a prototype in our warehouse to test the strength of our concept. Only when we’re 100% happy will we present it to you and put it into production.
We deliver
We don’t miss deadlines. We always come through and we always follow up. And we’re easy to do business with.
We get on with it
We’re hands-on, all-hands-on-deck people. Deadlines don’t faze us, hard graft doesn’t frighten us! We’ll work onsite, independently or alongside your team, or in our own warehouse, whichever is the most time-efficient and cost-effective.
And we’re fun to have around, even when we’re up against it.

Our Success Stories
It’s not always the biggest jobs, or the big name clients, that have meant the most to us. It’s the ones that were the biggest creative or logistical challenge.
These are the projects that we’ve been proudest of over the years.
