Small but Mighty: How Imperial Cartons Delivers Big on Capability and Care

When people think of large-scale packaging solutions, they often picture faceless corporations with endless production lines. But here in Melbourne, we’ve been showing for over 21 years that size isn’t everything. As a family-owned business, we’ve built our reputation on delivering both personalised care and serious capability. 

Our Family-Owned Difference 

Unlike larger competitors, we genuinely care about the outcome of every job, no matter the size. With three decades of hands-on experience, we know that packaging is never just about cartons, it’s about relationships, and solving problems. Our clients don’t get transactional service; they get a partner who listens, understands, and takes the time to get it right. That’s the kind of consistency and reliability you only get from a family-run company that values every order. 

Big Capability, Local Manufacturing 

Don’t mistake our size for limitation. We have the capacity to produce up to 600,000 cartons per month - and that number is growing. From a single box to 100,000, we have no minimum order restrictions. Every carton is designed and manufactured in-house here in Melbourne, giving businesses the confidence of local production, coupled with fast turnaround times. With cartons ready to go across industries from retail to logistics, we prove that “small” actually means agile, responsive, and powerful when it comes to Imperial Cartons. 

What Does This Mean for Your Business? 

For our customers, this combination translates into practical advantages. You can test a new product line with a prototype or short run without the burden of minimums, or secure a steady supply for a nationwide operation, knowing you won’t be left waiting. See our AiVA Camera Case Study.

We love to collaborate to find the right fit for your business, gladly offering advice on design, logistics, and efficiency so that your packaging delivers more for your business. 

Proudly Melbourne, Trusted for Decades 

At a time when many businesses are shifting offshore, we proudly keep every part of our process right here in Laverton, Victoria. Why? Because it means more control, more accountability, and a genuine investment in supporting Australian businesses. Many of our clients have been with us for years - some even decades because they know we’ll stand by them through every stage of their business growth. Check out our Sonora Foods Case Study

From small runs for new ventures to large, ongoing supply contracts, we’ve built relationships based on reliability, quick turnaround, and a willingness to adapt when their needs change. 

Small but Mighty 

As cliché as this might sound, we show that you don’t need to be the biggest to deliver the best. With the heart of a family business and the capability of a large-scale manufacturer, we offer the best of both worlds: packaging solutions backed by care, experience, and capability. The next time you’re thinking packaging, think Imperial Cartons.
