Alliance Packaging Ltd is a family-run Irish company based in Cork, built on a reputation for quality, reliability, and trusted service.
For over 40 years, we have been helping businesses across Ireland source packaging solutions they can depend on. The company was founded by Aidan in 1980, initially specialising in polypropylene sacks for the fuel trade and paper sacks for the animal feed industry. As the market evolved, Aidan recognised new opportunities and expanded the company’s offering to meet the changing needs of customers. With growing demand for paper and branded packaging, this quickly became a key focus of the business.

Our aim is that all orders received before 12 noon will ship the same day. We use UPS across Ireland on a 1-3 day service with most deliveries arriving next day. As with all couriers, this service can become stretched at Christmas time. We may at times change our delivery times to 2-4 days in the Christmas period to reflect the realities of the available service.
