Established more than 50 years ago, the Cardboard Box Shop is a complete packaging supply company, offering a supreme range of services for customers across the country. Under the leadership of Patrick and Halina Rohde, the company originally started life in the 1970s as a second-hand dealer in cartons, purchasing
from fruit shops and selling back to farmers. This sustainable recycling model thrived until the advent of styrofoam cartons, which led to the phasing out of second-hand fruit cartons. The business took a transformative turn with Mark Rohde, who introduced the idea of selling short-run quantities and creating a stock list for pick and pack cartons as needed. Patrick and Mark curated a diverse list of sizes, catering to the needs of printers, shop owners, wineries, small breweries, food shops and anyone in need of boxes.

The judges praised the comprehensive range of boxing solutions available from the experts at the Cardboard Box Shop.

Specialising in short production runs for industrial-quality cartons, corrugated rolls, point-of-sale display units and warehouse packaging materials, the experts have the largest range of new stock-sized cartons and boxes in Queensland, available for immediate dispatch. Their stock-sized die-cut cartons can be manufactured within five to 10 working days, with most packaging supplies readily available on the warehouse floor.
