Salt of the Earth Packaging is an award-winning New Zealand based manufacturer and designer of alternative materials and packaging.

Our materials are responsibly sourced, regenerative and have a circular pathway in end of life.

We are lovers of the ocean and spend as much time on, in or nearby the ocean. Salt runs through our mind and body each day.

We form long term partnerships with organisations and industry globally. Innovation, systems change, education and collaboration are essential components for sea change. We cannot and will not work in isolation.
