History of Versapak

In 1973, our Chairman, Ian Denny Anderson started Versapak with a simple, reusable mailing pouch and security seal for safeguarding sensitive items during transport. The Versapak range of products became known for being durable, secure and cost effective, and was soon widely accepted by postal authorities, banks and medical organisations throughout the world.
