Our story
A simple belief,
built over 40 years.
For over 40 years, our business has been built on a simple belief. Exceptional packaging is created when skilled people, advanced technology, and genuine care come together.
Today, we are proud to be the third generation of family ownership. But our story goes beyond our own family. It is the story of the families who built this company with us. Many of our team members have dedicated decades of their lives here, with an average employment period of over 15 years. Husbands and wives have worked side by side. Parents have introduced their children to the craft, passing on skills and pride that simply cannot be rushed or replicated.
That depth of experience is matched by continuous investment in world-class printing technology, automation, and quality systems. We deliver both bespoke luxury packaging and high-volume production runs, with consistency you can measure and care you can feel. Every box we produce carries that legacy forward.
Our people and their families. We help employees' children with stationery and school needs, and offer bursaries to further their education. We also support Elizabethfontein Primary and Grootkloof Primary.
Skills and inclusion. Through our partnership with EduPower, we support training for learners with disabilities and offer them work at Printafoil, so they can gain practical experience and build their skills.
Our communities. We donate to FEED SA, and support heART's art workshops. heART began as art classes for 60 children in Thembisa and Krugersdorp and now reaches three schools with a fully funded art teacher. Since 2012 our cardboard off-cuts have also gone to Soetlief for children's craft and play-therapy sessions.
"My dream has always been to become an art teacher. Thank you for making it a reality for me!"Augustine Makombe, heART
Because what we create as a business should extend beyond what we print.
