Bluebox Technical was founded to bring a fresh, innovative approach to traditional packaging, printing, and industrial adhesive systems in New Zealand.
We focus on replacing older, less sustainable chemistries—for example, substituting synthetic materials with vegetable waxes, and moving from solvent-based systems to water-based adhesives and coatings.
By collaborating with local and international specialists, we supply products that maintain a minimised environmental footprint while still achieving the high-performance standards required by industry. Thanks to our in-house industrial chemist, we excel at providing customised, tailored solutions for your technical needs.
Our name breaks down our mission: Blue signifies our commitment to the planet; Box highlights our interest in packaging and our constant drive to find “creative out-of-the-box” solutions; Technical means problem-solving.

Several of our adhesive and coating products utilise polymer systems at the forefront of bio-degradability technology. For us, environmentally responsible means addressing four critical cornerstones of product composition and breakdown:
Biodegradability: Materials that support microbial activity, breaking down into water, carbon dioxide, and biomass.
Disintegration: The ability to physically break down during composting within a defined period—typically no more than six months.
Ecotoxicity: Products that degrade into residues that are safe for the composting process and do not release harmful substances such as excess nitrogen or sulphur.
Heavy Metals: Formulations are free from heavy metals, ensuring no contamination of soil or compost
