When You Think Packaging, Think Bandco

A family-owned Cheltenham supplier that has spent more than three decades keeping Australian businesses taped, wrapped, boxed and moving.

In an industrial pocket of Cheltenham, Bandco Packaging Pty Ltd has quietly become one of Melbourne’s most trusted names for everyday packaging materials. Founded from a home office in 1992 by Ron and Faye Buller, the Australian-owned company now supplies adhesive tapes, labels, stretch wrap, cartons, protective packaging and wrapping machines to businesses of every size — from a single roll of tape to a full warehouse fit-out.

Their own words still set the tone: there is no order too small and no job too big. That one-on-one approach, combined with competitive pricing and a genuinely useful product range, is why many regulars say that when they think packaging, they think Bandco.

 

From a home office to a Bayside warehouse

Bandco Packaging Pty Ltd (ABN 27 057 348 777, ACN 057 348 777) was registered in September 1992. For the first years it operated from a home office. In 2001 their son Luke Buller joined the business; by 2005 the company had expanded its reach across Australia and built the facilities to service customers nationwide.

Today the public face of the business is Unit 20, 337 Bay Road, Cheltenham VIC 3192 — a practical warehouse address in one of Bayside’s busiest light-industrial precincts, close to the Nepean Highway, South Road and the broader Melbourne freight corridor. Some company records also list 9 Wanrua Street, Cheltenham. Opening hours are Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5.30pm; the warehouse is closed on weekends.

The firm remains family-operated and Australian-owned. Staff numbers sit in the small-to-medium range (typically listed as 11–50), which is part of the point: customers deal with people who know the catalogue, not a call-centre script. Reviews consistently mention knowledge, transparency, fair prices and fast, friendly delivery.

What they actually sell

Bandco specialises in packaging materials and pressure-sensitive tapes. The range is broad rather than boutique — the kind of stock a warehouse manager, e-commerce packer, removalist or manufacturer can rely on week after week.

Adhesive tapes
A full spread from everyday carton-sealing tape (clear and brown) through masking, cloth and gaffer tapes to specialty grades for specific applications. They stock well-known brands and cost-effective equivalents, which matters when a packing line goes through hundreds of rolls a month.

 

Labels
A standout line is Rip-A-Labels: printed, self-adhesive labels with no backing paper, so there is no waste liner to dispose of. Widths run from 12mm to 192mm, message lengths from 25mm to 500mm, and printing is available in up to five colours on different backgrounds. They are described as waterproof, high-tack, and resistant to heat, UV and ageing — useful for warehouses, outdoor storage and dispatch.

Stretch wrap films
Hand and machine films from standard 20, 23 and 25 micron grades through to thinner high-performance 12 and 15 micron films manufactured in Australia. Clear, black and coloured options are typical of the category. For many customers this is the highest-volume consumable after tape.

 

Cartons
Stock shipping cartons, heavy-duty removal cartons and custom boxes made to size. Cardboard products are manufactured from recycled materials, which Bandco presents as part of a more environmental approach. For growing e-commerce and fulfilment businesses, having a local source of both standard and made-to-measure boxes is often the difference between a tidy pack-out and a scramble.

 

Protective packaging
Bubble cushioning in rolls (including slit and perforated formats), custom bubble bags and cushioned mailers. These sit alongside void-fill and other transit-protection products that stop goods arriving damaged.

Wrapping machines and dispensers
Bandco also supplies and helps implement packaging machinery — pallet wrappers, strap dispensers and related equipment — for businesses that have outgrown hand wrapping. The pitch is straightforward: the right machine reduces labour, film use and inconsistency on the floor.

 

Why local businesses keep coming back

Cheltenham and the surrounding Bayside and south-eastern suburbs are dense with manufacturers, wholesalers, removalists, e-commerce sellers and trades. Packaging is rarely glamorous, but it is constant. A supplier that can deliver tape, wrap and cartons on short notice, explain the difference between film grades, and still take a small order is more useful than a national catalogue with a four-week lead time.

Customer comments collected on local directories pick up the same themes: “great customer service and transparency”; “very knowledgeable people and a thorough understanding of what service means”; “great prices, great service with fast and friendly delivery.” That combination — stock, price and human service — is the company’s actual product.

Because cartons are made from recycled board and thinner high-yield stretch films are available, Bandco can also talk to businesses that are under pressure to cut packaging waste without switching to a specialist “green” supplier overnight.
