MEET THE TEAM
Proudly family owned. Proudly Kiwi. 25 years of preserving what matters.

Meet Craig
Craig started ZeroPak more than 25 years ago after struggling to find a vacuum sealer that could handle the way New Zealanders preserve food, especially fresh fish, shellfish and venison. Rather than compromise, he created the ZeroPak brand. Today he still tests products, provides technical support and services machines, all while finding any excuse to head fishing, hunting or out on the golf course.

Meet Michelle
Michelle keeps ZeroPak running day to day, overseeing operations, quality control and the website while helping customers both online and in person. With a background in banking, sales and photography, she's been a familiar face at shows around New Zealand for over 20 years. Outside of work, she enjoys travelling, photography, fishing and spending time with family.
-
Meet Tamara
For many customers, Tamara is the first friendly voice they'll hear. She manages customer enquiries, dispatches orders, keeps the warehouse running smoothly and makes sure every order leaves on time. Having been part of the ZeroPak family for well over a decade, she knows the products inside and out. When she's not at work, you'll usually find her fishing with her family, baking or exploring somewhere new.
-
Meet Danielle
Danielle looks after ZeroPak's social media and marketing while also jumping in wherever she's needed. Currently helping cover Tamara's maternity leave, she's been busy packing orders, assisting customers and supporting the day-to-day running of the business. Having quite literally grown up around ZeroPak, it's a bit of a full circle moment to now be part of the family business.
More than a business. A family story.
ZeroPak has always been a family business.
For more than two decades, Craig and Michelle travelled to shows and field days throughout New Zealand, introducing thousands of Kiwis to vacuum sealing, food preservation and, more recently, freeze drying.
Their daughters, Tamara and Danielle, grew up alongside the business. Some of our long time customers might even remember Danielle helping on the stand as a five year old!
Today, both sisters are part of the ZeroPak team, helping customers and continuing the next chapter of the family business.
