Meet the team

The people who actually make your boxes.

Every carton that leaves Tauranga has been designed, cut, printed, stacked or taped by one of these six. No call centre, no middle man. Ring us and it is almost certainly Sandy or Wendy picking up.

The crew

Say hello

Tauranga born and bred, mostly. Very into cardboard, all of them.

Wendy and Allan 1Co-owners

Wendy and Allan

Wendy and Allan, co-owners and each other’s right-hand man (or woman, depending on the day!). They stand by each other just as firmly as they do every cardboard box that leaves the factory. With over 40 years of self-employment and running businesses, they’ve mastered the art of delivering top-notch customer service without cutting corners — except on cardboard, of course! They’ve also nailed the secret recipe for creating a happy, safe workplace, where quality is never compromised, and smiles are non-negotiable.

Sandy 2Office and orders

Sandy

Sandy, our office superstar with a wealth of experience in owning and managing businesses. We hit the jackpot when we brought her on board. A whiz with figures and paperwork, Sandy’s all about efficiency and going the extra mile. She’s the mastermind behind getting every order through the system and out the door in record time. If you need something done right and fast, Sandy’s your go-to, ensuring smooth sailing for every customer!

Paul 3Cardboard whisperer

Paul

Paul, our go-to man for all things cardboard — aka the cardboard whisperer. With over 10 years under his belt, Paul knows the ins and outs of every customer’s regular orders and can probably identify every sheet of cardboard in the warehouse by feel alone—and trust us, that’s A LOT of cardboard!

Ryan 4Machines and dispatch

Ryan

Ryan, the master of precision, gets in and gets the job done right, every time. He’s conquered every machine in the warehouse and is a pro at stacking pallets, wrapping, strapping, and shipping out completed orders like a well-oiled machine. When it comes to making sure everything’s packed to perfection and ready to roll, Ryan’s your man!

Mat 5Customer support

Mat

Muso by night, cardboard enthusiast by day — meet Mat, the new kid on the block (well, maybe not *kid* — he’s got two of his own). Dad of two, husband of... well... one, and hands down one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. Trust me, I should know, I’m his wife, and also the one writing this cheeky staff bio. Chat to Mat about anything cardboard. If he doesn’t know the answer, he’ll probably pull an all-nighter and come back with a full-blown essay answer. That’s just who he is; a devoted learner of all things life has to offer.

The Cardboard Fairy 6Mystical packaging expert

The Cardboard Fairy

Cardboard Fairy, our mystical packaging expert! With a snap of her fingers, she conjures up cartons whenever needed. Though rumoured to be nocturnal, she tirelessly ensures our shelves are stocked. Despite occasional grumblings from the factory crew, her efficiency is unmatched, making her an invaluable member of our team.
