About Us

M.J Shardlow & Co Ltd started back in 1965, selling stationery to local businesses. The business grew and expanded into one of the leading packaging suppliers in the South Island. A family owned and run business with a combined experience of 70 years in the industry. We pride ourselves in offering our customers great service and extensive product knowledge.

We don’t have high minimum purchase quantities and we sell to the public, no matter how small.

With our knowledge and expertise we can provide you with the best packaging solutions for your needs.

We have an extensive range of packaging, tapes & adhesives, cleaning products, cafeteria supplies and retail packaging but if we don’t have it, we’ll source it. We will go to great lengths to source specific products or alternatives for our customers.

We have our own full time drivers so we can provide a faster and more personal service. Delivery is free in the Christchurch area. We do freight orders all over the country.
