What we do

Forensics Supplies and Packaging produces high quality forensic kits, specialised and general from our facility in Burleigh, Queensland. Every forensics product is assembled in a controlled environment that meets international standard ISO 18385 for minimising DNA contamination.

Our team produces around 3,000 forensic sampling kits each week for law enforcement agencies and healthcare professionals across Australia. Each kit is tailored to the specific needs of our customers and their operations.

Forensic kits and supplies

Our forensic evidence collection kits support police and law enforcement agencies in their critical work. These include DNA sampling kits, buccal mouth swab kits, sexual assault investigation kits, blood and hair collection kits.

Every kit is produced under our ISO 18385 certification, which means the contents are virtually free of detectable DNA. This helps protect the integrity of evidence and reduces the risk of contamination.
