Packages Limited was founded in 1956 as a result of a joint venture between the Pakistani Ali Group and Akerlund & Rausing from Sweden. Within the field of premium packaging the company covers the entire process chain and offers value-added products to regional and international firms. Among its customers are renowned firms, such as Unilever and Pakistan Tobacco Company which has worked with Packages Limited for over 50 years.

The KBA Rapida 106, which is raised by 17.7in (450mm) for the production of packaging, is equipped with a board- andling package and is kitted out with features ensuring fast job changes, such as automatic plate changing, CleanTronic washing units as well as coating feed and cleaning systems for aqueous coating. KBA VariDry-IR/TA dryers are located in the delivery and delivery extension. Press pre-setting data from the pre-press is sent to the ErgoTronic console with wall screen via LogoTronic CIPLinkX.

KBA said Packages Limited has been a trendsetter in the development of new forms of packaging for many years. An example of this is the use of wheat straw as a raw material for board.
