Pricing & catalogue
Because we are a Biopak partner, we offer the exact same pricing and competitive freight as if you ordered direct through Biopak.
The box pricing on our website is our wholesale rate; we keep our pricing as low as we can right from the start. Non-businesses can order at this price.
Pricing for products is on our website (inc GST), or you can download a pricelist (pricing – no images). Please note that the pricing on our website is inc GST, whereas the pricing on the Biopak pricelist is ex GST. Our final price is identical.

Further discounts
Customers sometimes ask about further discounts for bulk orders; this is certainly possible if your order is over a certain amount, for example if you need 100 or 1000 x boxes of a particular item for an event.
Give us a call if this is something you would like to discuss – ask to speak to Sean – 03 9718 0126.
How to qualify for Freight Free
If you are located in metro Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Brisbane, Adelaide or Perth, you qualify for FREE freight on orders of the Biopak range when you order 4 or more boxes* at a time.
* Biopak napkins and wooden cutlery are considered 1/2 a carton
Please note that ONLY Biopak products are eligible for FREE FREIGHT for 4+ boxes. The only items not included are the paper consumables – hand-towel and jumbo toilet rolls (these are tagged as B2B only)
What if you don’t qualify for free freight?
If you do not need 4 or more boxes, or if you are located outside of one of the metro areas listed above, don’t worry – freight for your order will still be subsidised to offset the cost and make it very competitive. The minimum (and most common) standard charge is $16.50 inc gst. So, for example if you order 1, 2 or 3 boxes of Biocups within a Metro area, your freight will be $16.50. If you order 4 it will be free freight.
