Report Overview

Pack & Send is an Australian-founded packing, shipping, and logistics franchise operating approximately 120 service centres nationally and internationally. Founded in 1993, the network specialises in handling items that traditional couriers and postal services cannot easily accommodate — from fragile antiques and artwork to heavy industrial freight and e-commerce fulfilment. With strong tailwinds from the growth of online retail and cross-border commerce, Pack & Send occupies a distinctive niche in the logistics and business services sector. This report provides an independent, commercially focused analysis of the Pack & Send franchise opportunity.
