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.
