Essentra Packaging is a multinational manufacturer of pressure-sensitive tear tape, labels, closures and seals for the packaging and labeling industry. It is also part of the Packaging & Securing Solutions division of Essentra.
P.P. Payne was founded in 1911 by Percy Philip Payne, manufacturing cotton tapes for the local textile industry. In the 1950s the business developed Rippatape, the first tear tape based on cotton fibres, used for easy opening of boxes and sacks. P.P. Payne went on to develop self-adhesive tear tapes which became popular for cigarette packaging and was acquired by Bunzl in 1996 as a consequence of the group's growing success in filter production. PP Payne was demerged from Bunzl in 2005 and formed part of the Filtrona group where it was renamed to Payne. In 2010 the company expanded its product portfolio through acquisition of Cardiff-based BP Labels. In early 2013, Filtrona plc completed the acquisition of Contego Healthcare, which was incorporated into the Coated & Security Products Division of the Company.
On 26 June 2013, the parent company, Filtrona plc formally rebranded to Essentra Plc. As part of this, Payne re-branded to Essentra Packaging on October 14. The company’s Coated & Security Products Division in which Payne operated was renamed Essentra Packaging & Securing Solutions.
In November 2013, the company acquired Dakota Packaging, based in Dublin, Ireland to reinforce the division's product range and customer base in healthcare packaging, it also provides significant additional scale in the Irish market.
In November 2014, the company announced an acquisition of a healthcare carton and labeling company Clondalkin for $455m in order to grow its North American business.
