Introducing Abbe Express by Abbe

Business is changing. People are turning their passions into their profession. Empowered by new services and technologies, they're making things and shipping them to customers around the world.

However, some of the most important things won't ever change. Every business, regardless of whether they're shipping soy candles, small-batch spirits, single-origin coffee, or something else, relies on trusted brand partners who will be there at every stage of the journey.

Our Purpose

We provide quality, custom-branded packaging. We offer the fastest turnaround times and small minimum order quantities that won't break the bank.

With locally produced small-run bespoke packaging solutions and a range of stock cartons, we make it easy for small businesses to professionally pack and send products. The next generation of businesses, makers, and creators deserve a next-generation packaging partner. That's why we've established Abbe Express.

Abbe Express draws on more than 30 years of experience in delivering sustainable, high-quality packaging solutions under the Abbe brand. Just like its parent company, Abbe Express branded boxes are made with quality materials and innovative technologies, right here in Australia.

Packaging is about more than the box your goods ship in. Your packaging expresses your brand identity and its values. It signifies the importance you place on design and sustainability. Packaging is a vital part of the overall customer experience.

Our Process

Abbe Express is as flexible and customised as your business. Our unique design platform allows you to upload or create custom branding artwork. It's easy to use, no matter your level of experience. You can also enjoy the convenience of having one of our experienced designers create packaging artwork that will bring your brand to life.

Today, small businesses must take every opportunity to get noticed. Our custom-printed packaging allows your brand to shine.

Did your Instagram post just get tagged on a popular design blog and now you have an influx of orders? With Abbe Express, you can design and order as few as 25 custom-branded mailer boxes, delivered right to your doorstep. Thanks to our efficient and innovative manufacturing process, we can offer small minimum order sizes. We also have a great range of unprinted stock packaging as well as packaging supplies like printed tissue paper, cards and labels. Our online ordering system is smooth and intuitive which means less stress and more time for you.

Abbe Express has industry-leading expertise in new and emerging packaging technologies such as digital printing, die-cutting, specialty gluing, fanfold and packaging automation. This means the process of branding your mailer box is seamless and easy - to give you a great result.

Our Passion

Have you ever had a truly memorable unboxing experience? A custom-designed box that perfectly complemented the product inside and looked great? You probably remember how that experience made you feel about that business. That they were trustworthy and dependable. That they cared about design. Most importantly, they cared about their customers.

At Abbe Express, our mission is to recreate experiences like those. From small print runs to the biggest jobs, our aim is to help you build trust and drive sales - without the premium price tag.

Our Promise

Your packaging says a lot about your business. So does your choice of packaging partner. In a world where customers increasingly make ethical purchasing decisions, you want to know you're working with a company that shares your values. At Abbe Express, we're committed to the customer experience and to the planet. Abbe and our supply chains are accredited by the Forest Stewardship Council and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification, while our highly automated, purpose-designed site in Coolaroo (in Melbourne's north) means we are at the forefront of sustainability and innovation. That means we make high-quality custom-branded boxes from materials that are sustainably sourced, with less waste.

We're also committed to our local community. Every single package we've made since we were first established in 1991 has been made right here in Australia. Local people, making high-quality packaging for local businesses, you can rest assured that at Abbe there's no unethical practises or labour - just how it should be.

Our design and manufacturing expertise has been built over more than 30 years and for decades we've been delivering exceptional customer service to businesses across a diverse range of markets and industries. Abbe will continue to grow with your business for years to come. From order number one to order number one million, we'll help you deliver your products on time and on budget in a way that truly expresses what your brand is all about.

On this blog, we'll be publishing articles that help you grow your business, learn about our products and processes, and understand our commitment to sustainability, innovation, and great design. Case studies will share real stories of businesses we've helped go to the next level. So, whether you're a maker taking your first steps or an established SME, there will always be helpful information here for you.

We're excited about this next stage in our evolution - and excited to support a new generation of Australian businesses to succeed.
