Before Holden Pak was Holden Pak, the business looked very different.
Chis Lee had taken over his family’s business, a small printing workshop of around 200 square metres called Sihui Printing. At the time, the entire team consisted of Chis, his mother, and one of his childhood friends.
Packaging had not yet become part of the business. They mainly worked on traditional print jobs such as brochures, business cards, and other printed materials.
The small factory soon expanded to around 400 square metres. Thanks to its precise colour control and consistently strong print results, more and more orders began to come in.Two years later, Chris taught himself English, and the factory welcomed its first overseas customer.
As competition intensified, the business began to feel the pressure and order volumes declined. It became clear that the company needed to change direction.
That year, they sold their first btatch of stand-up pouches. By the end of the year, most of the paper-printing equipment had been sold, marking the start of a full transition into flexible packaging.
From a small factory, we eventually built a brand of our own: Holden Pak, meaning “Hold Passion for the Best Packaging.”
With manufacturing at our core, we established our base in Shanghai and built dedicated teams across sales, supply chain and other key functions. By then, our packaging was reaching customers in more than 10 countries, with a focus on sustainable and custom packaging for coffee and food brands.
As our business grew, we continued to invest in better production equipment, printing technology and quality control.
At the same time, sustainable packaging became a bigger part of what we do. We expanded our range of recyclable mono-materials, FSC-certified paper, PCR content and other lower-impact options, helping customers choose packaging that works for both their products and their markets.
Today, Holden Pak works with customers in more than 40 countries, with over 10 million lower-impact packaging units produced each year.
Our team has also grown, with dedicated Brand, Trade Compliance, and Design & Prepress teams now supporting customers from concept to delivery. Based on an estimated saving of around 10 g CO₂e per pack, 10 million packs would represent roughly 100 tonnes of CO₂e avoided each year.
“Holden Pak is more than a business to me—it’s work I truly love. We began as a small printing workshop, doing the work ourselves and learning along the way. Moving into packaging opened a new chapter for us, but the care we put into our work has stayed the same.
I’ve always been a little obsessive about quality, especially the details others might overlook. Some might call that a flaw, but I believe that same persistence has helped us earn the trust of customers around the world.
From our early days in printing to the packaging we make today, I’ve wanted to create products I’m proud to put our name on. As Holden Pak grows, that commitment remains personal to me.”
“I often find myself wandering into our sample room, admiring the beautifully printed packaging and imagining the stories of the brands behind it. My role is to discover these stories, capture them, and share them with the world, while making Holden Pak a brand that people trust, appreciate, and genuinely love.”
“Good partnerships are built on trust. I believe in understanding what our customers really need, being honest about what we can deliver, and making sure every detail is taken care of.”
“Every customer comes to us with different ideas and challenges. I enjoy helping them find the right materials, sizes and solutions, and making the whole packaging process a little easier.”
HoldenPak started with a simple goal: to make quality custom packaging more accessible to businesses around the world.
We continued improving our equipment and processes to offer more packaging options.
With advanced digital printing technology, including the HP Indigo 200K, we can support detailed designs, smaller orders and more flexible production.
Our commitment to quality is supported by internationally recognized standards, including BRCGS, ISO 9001 and FSC certification.
Today, our packaging reaches customers in more than 30 countries, helping businesses bring their products to shelves around the world.
We're proud to work with businesses that care about their products as much as we care about their packaging.
Every milestone reflects our commitment to better packaging, stronger capabilities, and lasting partnerships. As we continue to grow, we remain focused on quality, innovation, and helping our customers bring their ideas to life.
