Contract Filling & Packaging Equipment Australia
Flexible filling, capping, labelling, sealing and coding equipment for contract fillers and co-packers — hire additional capacity when you need it, without the capital outlay.
Contract fillers and co-packers operate across food and beverage, cosmetics, cleaning products, pharmaceuticals, and industrial chemicals — producing on behalf of multiple brands and SKUs. When a new client comes on board or an existing client scales up, you need additional filling and packaging capacity fast, without committing to equipment ownership.
Rentafill has been supplying contract fillers across Australia for over 30 years. Whether you need a single extra machine for a short run or a complete additional line for a new contract, we deliver, commission, and support it — with same or next-day delivery available in Sydney and two to three days for Melbourne.

Rentafill supplies the full range of packaging equipment that contract fillers need — from filling and capping through to labelling, sealing, and coding. All available to hire short-term, long-term, or purchase outright.
Filling Machines
Contract fillers work across the full viscosity range — often filling different product types for different clients in the same week. We supply the right machine for every application:
- Peristaltic fillers — thin liquids, pharmaceutical and chemical products
- Piston fillers — medium to thick products, sauces, creams, gels
- Single-head benchtop — short-run and small-batch contract jobs
- Multi-head automatic — high-volume continuous contract production
Hire additional filling capacity when a new contract arrives — return it when the job is complete.

Induction Sealers
Many brands specify induction sealing as part of their contract packaging requirements — for tamper evidence and shelf life extension. We supply:

- Standard for TGA-listed products and supplement ranges
- Standalone benchtop or integrated inline — easy to add to an existing line

Coding & Printing Machines
Every contract packaging job requires accurate batch coding, best-before dates, and traceability marking — applied correctly to the brand owner’s specifications. We supply:
- Inkjet coders — high-speed batch and date coding on any container format
- Thermal transfer printers — variable data printing on labels for each client’s SKU
- Laser coders — permanent marking on glass, plastic, or metal
Configurable for each client’s specific date format, batch numbering system, and placement requirements.

Conveyors & Material Handling
When a high-volume contract requires a complete production line, conveyors and accumulation tables connect filling, capping, labelling, and coding into a single flowing system — reducing manual handling and increasing throughput.
- Transfer belts — move containers between production stations
- Rotary accumulation tables — buffer stock between machines to maintain flow
- Product guides — keep containers aligned and stable at each stage
Hire a complete line for a large contract — return it when the job is done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I hire a single extra machine when a new contract exceeds my current capacity?
Yes — this is one of the most common arrangements for contract fillers who work with Rentafill. When a new client or a larger-than-usual run arrives, you can hire an additional filling machine, capper, or labeller quickly without any long-term commitment. Return it when the contract is complete. Call us on 02 9987 1871 or submit a quote request and we’ll confirm availability and delivery timing.
Can you supply a complete extra production line for a large contract job?
Yes. We can supply and commission a complete additional line — filling, capping, labelling, sealing, coding, and material handling — configured to work together at your facility for the duration of the contract. Our team will assess your space and output requirements and recommend the right combination of equipment. Contact us to discuss your specific job.
How quickly can you deliver additional equipment to my facility?
For standard hire equipment, we can typically deliver within one to two business days to most Sydney metro locations, and two to three business days for Melbourne and surrounding Victorian regions. For other states, delivery timelines are confirmed case by case. If you have an urgent requirement, call us on 02 9987 1871 and we’ll do our best to meet your timeline.
Do you supply machines that can handle multiple product types and viscosities?
Yes. Many of our filling machines can be reconfigured between different viscosities and container sizes by changing nozzles or cylinder sizes. This makes them well suited to contract fillers who work across multiple product categories. We’ll advise the right machine configuration for your specific client mix when you enquire.
Can I combine hired and purchased equipment in my facility?
Yes — many contract fillers own their core base machines and hire additional equipment when contracts exceed their owned capacity. This hybrid approach keeps your fixed costs low while giving you the flexibility to take on larger or more diverse jobs. We can advise on the most cost-effective combination based on your typical contract volume and mix.
Do you offer long-term hire for contract fillers with ongoing production commitments?
Yes. Long-term hire is available and is often more cost-effective than short-term hire for contract fillers with ongoing production commitments. Pricing is based on machine type, hire duration, and your specific requirements. Contact us to discuss a long-term hire arrangement suited to your contract filling operation.
Need Extra Capacity for a Contract Job?
Tell us what you’re filling, your container formats, required output speed, and when you need the equipment — our team will confirm availability and recommend the right machines for your contract job, whether you need one extra machine or a complete additional line.
