Who We Are
The Vi Packaging team has over 65 years experience in the wine packaging industry and is focused on working with customers to exceed their expectations, offering reliable and professional service.
Each contract customer has a dedicated Account Manager to lend assistance and guidance through packaging decisions. All other enquiries are sent to our Vi Packaging e-mail. We have three dedicated Customer Service Coordinators who monitor this e-mail and look after the day to day enquiries to ensure customer packaging materials are running on time and are delivered to you, ready for the bottling date.
