A New Chapter of Growth and Achievement

Magnum Packaging is excited to share a major milestone in our ongoing journey of growth, innovation, and excellence.

With demand increasing from both our loyal customers and new opportunities in the market, we made the decision to expand our production footprint in a meaningful way. A key part of this growth initiative is the installation and commissioning of our newest addition — the Manroland 706 Evolution.

A Major Investment in Quality, Speed and Capability

The Manroland 706 Evolution marks the next step in our continued investment in world-class printing technology.

This six-colour press brings the latest in high-speed, high-precision production, featuring inline colour control on every unit and automatic colour management to ensure consistency from start to finish. The result is sharper print quality, improved efficiency, and increased capacity — allowing us to take on more of the work our customers trust us with.

The machine was purchased through our long-standing partners at DPM in the UK. Over the past 15 years, we have built a strong relationship with their team, making this the third press we have acquired from them.

A sincere thank you to Tom Casey and the DPM team for delivering a smooth, well-managed, and exceptional project from start to finish.

We would also like to thank Manroland South Africa, who handled the installation and commissioning with true professionalism. Their technical expertise, attention to detail, and hands-on support ensured that the press entered full production seamlessly.

Celebrating Excellence at the Gold Pack Awards 2025

As part of our end-of-year achievements, we were honoured with three awards at the Gold Pack Awards 2025 — a proud acknowledgement of the hard work, collaboration, and commitment to quality demonstrated by our entire team.

  • Silver – Household Category: Woolworths Laundry Pods Cartons
  • Bronze – Non-Alcoholic Beverages Category: Enrista Coffee Pack
  • Special Mention – PAMSA “Paper is Possible” Award: Woolworths Laundry Pods Cartons

Each award represents the time, dedication, and attention to detail invested in refining every aspect of the packaging, understanding each customer’s unique requirements, and selecting materials and production methods that support a more sustainable future.

These achievements are a reminder that when craftsmanship, intention, and customer partnership come together, the result is more than packaging. It is work with purpose, work that performs, and work that earns recognition for excellence.

Leadership Reflections

Allan Naicker, Director

“The commissioning of the Manroland 706 Evolution is more than a technology upgrade — it’s a statement of intent. We are investing in our future, our people, and our customers.”

Kobus Meyer, Director

“Our greatest strength has always been our commitment to quality and continuous improvement. This new press gives us the capability to deliver even more value, efficiency, and innovation to our clients.”

What This Means for Our Customers

With increased capacity, faster turnaround times, and even greater print consistency, our customers can expect noticeable improvements across the board.

The new press strengthens our ability to deliver exceptional quality, improved efficiency, reliable turnaround times, and greater production capability — while continuing to meet the high standards our customers have come to expect from Magnum Packaging.

Looking Ahead

With advanced technology, expanded capabilities, and award-winning achievements behind us, Magnum Packaging is well positioned to drive the next chapter of innovation in the packaging industry.

The Manroland 706 Evolution represents more than a new machine. It represents our continued commitment to investing in technology, developing our people, supporting our customers, and raising the standard of packaging excellence.

As we look to the future, we remain focused on one goal: creating packaging that performs, inspires, and delivers lasting value for our customers.
