About us

Often imitated, never matched.

OUR STORY

The best ideas start as a joke. Ours started at a party. One of us worked in plastic. The other worked with cardboard. Together, we decided to join forces to create something that didn’t exist yet: a gas-tight cardboard MAP tray with only 10% plastic. Back then, courage put us ahead. Knowledge kept us there.

2011

What starts as a casual chat between friends at a children’s party quickly sparks something bigger — the birth of a bold idea. The first demo machine marks the arrival of the first-ever HALOPACK tray. A game-changing concept begins to take shape.

2012

The first HALOPACK  trays roll off a full-scale production line — ready for customers and the market. Shortly after, HALOPACK opens its first production site in Hengelo (I-Pack), marking a new chapter: in-house tray production.

The company expands to a new, fully-owned site in Almelo (Bornerbroeksestraat), and welcomes its first full-time team member, Tim — who’s still a proud part of HALOPACK, more than a decade later.

HALOPACK’s mission to reshape packaging takes off internationally. Production begins in the United Kingdom, where the SK2 machine is introduced — a longer, high-output line built for the growing UK market.

HALOPACK customers are co-creators, inspiring innovations like the HALOPACK DUO.

With the launch of  SKR — a  more compact, flexible, and efficient machine — HALOPACK’s range expands with versatile new solutions, like our first OVEN, SKIN, and CLAMSHELL packaging.

2019

From the UK to Europe: our partner network is growing fast — now joined by Germany, Lithuania, Spain, and Italy. The vision of a connected global network —the HALOPACK Galaxy — starts becoming a reality.

Innovation stays at the core of HALOPACK. New product developments and continuous film thickness research enhance both sustainability and efficiency.

2020

HALOPACK moves to our current HQ at Slachthuiskade, Almelo –  a facility built for the future. At the same time, our pack grows stronger with new partners in France, Australia, and Chile.

We are proud of our packaging, but we never stay still. That’s why we are ready to accept the challenges posed by new regulations like the PPWR. Proving once again that HALOPACK is ahead of the pack.

It’s not our packaging. It’s our drive to pioneer.

Our pioneering spirit

Brave, bold and brains.

It took courage to get where we are. It took brains to stay there. When everyone says it can’t be done, we try and prove them wrong. Our expertise and out-of-the-box approach form the basis for innovation. By working with specialist partners, we ensure that our packaging is always ahead of the pack.

Out of the box.

Just coming up with the idea was not enough. We took that idea and started to get to work. If we see that something can be done better, smarter and more efficiently, we push through. That’s how we stand out and why we’re leaders in sustainable packaging.

Ahead of the pack.

Our adventure began with an idea that would ultimately turn the packaging industry upside down. That hunger to innovate and excel is what drives us still today. We want to transform the packaging world and improve it in a way that requires a whole new approach and way of thinking. It’s not just about packaging, we want to lead the way and pioneer.

OUR partners

Since our first partnership in 2016, more and more pioneers have joined the pack. Like the halo surrounding a galaxy, our network of partners brings light, energy, and impact to everything we do.
