From stretch film and strapping on the pallet line to custom corrugated boxes in the shipping department, we supply the full range of manufacturing packaging. One account, one invoice, one relationship instead of juggling five vendors for five product categories.
Off-the-shelf packaging was not designed for your part. We engineer custom corrugated boxes, foam inserts, and interior packaging systems around your specific product dimensions, weight, fragility, and shipping environment so your product arrives the way you built it.
Whether you run one shift or three, your packaging has to be there when the line is ready. We maintain deep inventory on high-velocity items and offer scheduled delivery programs so you never slow production waiting on boxes, film, or protective materials.
You should not have to chase multiple vendors to keep your operation supplied. We manage your entire packaging program from product selection, custom design, inventory, and delivery under one roof with one accountable account manager who knows your facility.
We design and manufacture custom corrugated boxes sized precisely for your finished goods, components, and assemblies. From single-wall to triple-wall construction, every box is engineered for stacking strength, compression resistance, and the demands of your specific distribution channel, whether that is LTL freight, parcel, or in-plant transfer.
Stretch film is one of the highest-volume items on any manufacturing packaging line, and the right specification makes a real difference in load security, film consumption, and line speed. We supply cast and blown stretch film in standard, pre-stretched, and machine-grade formats along with hand rolls for manual wrapping stations across production and shipping departments.
Industrial-grade bubble wrap and cushioning film for wrapping, interleaving, and protecting manufactured goods, finished parts, and sensitive assemblies. We supply bubble wrap in standard and large-bubble configurations, along with laminated cushioning rolls and anti-static variants for electronics and precision component protection throughout the production and shipping process.
Foam packaging protects high-value manufactured goods, precision components, and fragile assemblies from shock, vibration, and compression damage in transit and storage. We supply foam in rolls, sheets, and custom-fabricated insert profiles cut from polyethylene, polyurethane, and cross-linked PE to fit your product geometry and packaging system exactly.
Securing pallet loads and protecting product edges during strapping, stacking, and transit is essential on every manufacturing shipping dock. We supply polyester and polypropylene strapping, steel strapping, and a complete range of V-board and edge protectors to reinforce corners, prevent strap crush, and keep loads stable from your dock to the customer’s receiving door.
Beyond your primary packaging materials, your operation depends on a reliable supply of pallets, tape, and shipping supplies to keep product moving. We supply new and reconditioned wood pallets, plastic pallets, pressure-sensitive carton-sealing tape, reinforced tape, and a full range of shipping and void-fill supplies to round out your complete manufacturing packaging program.
Manufacturing packaging has to perform under real conditions: compression on the warehouse floor, vibration in transit, moisture in the supply chain, and damage claims that come back to you. Every material and design recommendation we make aligns with the relevant testing and performance standards for your application and distribution environment.

There are plenty of packaging distributors. There are far fewer who combine a complete product range, real custom capabilities, and the operational reliability that manufacturing environments demand. Here is what we bring to every account.
We do not grab something off the shelf and hope it protects your product. Our packaging specialists review your product dimensions, weight, fragility, and shipping environment before recommending any solution. The result is packaging that actually does the job, not packaging that was just easy to order.
Manufacturing does not wait for packaging to catch up. We maintain deep inventory on the high-velocity items your operation depends on and offer scheduled delivery and vendor-managed inventory programs that keep your line stocked without tying up your working capital.
Production volumes change, launch deadlines move, and demand spikes happen fast. When your packaging needs increase unexpectedly, we respond. We carry safety stock on common items and maintain the production capacity to handle rush orders without sacrificing quality or lead time reliability.
Your product does not stop moving after it leaves your dock. We design and supply packaging for domestic parcel, LTL, full truckload, and international ocean freight. Whether your product ships across town or across the world, we build packaging that holds up for the whole journey.
We built our process to match how manufacturing operations actually work, with clear steps, reliable execution, and no delays that slow your production or shipping programs down.
We review your products, production volumes, current packaging spend, and distribution requirements to understand exactly what your packaging program needs to accomplish.
Our specialists develop a complete packaging recommendation covering materials, specifications, custom dimensions, and any interior packaging or protective elements your products require.
We build samples of any custom packaging, run fit and function checks with your actual products, and confirm performance before committing to production quantities.
Approved products move into scheduled production and inventory stocking programs, with delivery cadences aligned to your production schedule and usage rates.
Your dedicated account manager monitors usage, manages reorder cycles, introduces new product options, and handles any issues before they become production problems.
Most manufacturing operations need a core set of packaging materials including corrugated boxes for finished goods, stretch film for pallet securing, bubble wrap or foam for product protection, strapping and edge protection for heavy loads, tape for carton sealing, and pallets for unit load management. The right specification for each depends on your product type, production volume, and how your goods ship to customers.
Yes. Custom corrugated box design and manufacturing is one of our core capabilities. We size and engineer boxes to your exact product dimensions, specify the right board construction for your weight and fragility requirements, and add any printing, scoring, or die-cutting your packing process requires. Custom boxes typically reduce product damage, improve pack-out speed, and lower overall packaging cost compared to using oversized stock sizes.
The right stretch film depends on your wrapping method, load weight, and pallet height. For automated stretch wrap machines, we typically recommend pre-stretched machine film for the best combination of load containment and film economy. For manual wrapping stations, a quality cast stretch film with extended core reduces operator fatigue and improves wrap consistency. Our team can evaluate your current setup and recommend the right film gauge, width, and format to improve performance and reduce film cost per pallet.
Absolutely. Custom foam fabrication is one of our specialties. We work from your part drawings or physical samples to engineer foam inserts that protect the exact geometry of your component. We also design multi-part foam tray systems that organize assemblies, prevent part-to-part contact, and speed up packing at the production line. Foam materials include polyethylene, polyurethane, cross-linked PE, and ESD-safe options for electronics applications.
Yes. We carry a complete range of strapping solutions including polypropylene, polyester, and steel strapping along with the tools and accessories to apply them. For load stabilization and edge protection, we supply V-board and L-board corner protectors in multiple sizes and gauges. Our team can help you select the right strapping type and edge protection combination for your load weights, pallet configurations, and freight environment.
For standard stock items, we provide standard packing documentation with each shipment. For custom corrugated and specialty packaging orders, we can provide material specifications, board grade certifications, and test data on request. For customers in regulated industries or those shipping to customers with specific packaging qualification requirements, we work documentation requirements into the order process from the start.
Yes. We offer scheduled delivery programs and vendor-managed inventory arrangements for manufacturing accounts that need consistent, predictable packaging supply aligned to their production schedule. We monitor usage rates, manage replenishment cycles, and coordinate deliveries to keep your packaging inventory at the right level without overstocking. This is especially valuable for high-velocity items like stretch film, tape, and corrugated boxes that are consumed in volume every day.
Yes. We offer a growing range of sustainable packaging options including recyclable corrugated boxes, recycled-content foam, paper-based void fill alternatives, and biodegradable cushioning materials. We can audit your current packaging program and identify where sustainable substitutions make sense without compromising product protection or increasing cost. For manufacturers with sustainability commitments or customer-driven packaging requirements, we help build a program that meets those goals.
Yes. We design packaging for oversized, heavy, and irregular products including fabricated metal components, assemblies, tooling, and machinery parts. Our team develops custom corrugated configurations, foam blocking systems, crating, and bracing solutions that support both domestic and international freight requirements. If your product does not fit a standard box, that is exactly the kind of challenge our packaging specialists handle every day.
For products sensitive to moisture, we combine multiple protection strategies depending on the material and shipping environment. Options include moisture barrier bags, desiccant packs, humidity indicators, VCI packaging for metal components, coated corrugated boards, and sealed interior barrier systems. We evaluate your product, transit duration, and climate exposure to engineer the right moisture protection approach for each application.
Yes. We provide packaging systems that incorporate barcode labels, serialized identification, product labeling, and custom inventory tracking elements. Our packaging programs are often designed to align with warehouse management systems, customer receiving requirements, and production line scanning procedures to improve accuracy and reduce receiving errors. Custom printing on corrugated boxes can also incorporate product codes, lot information, and handling instructions directly into the packaging.
Yes. For any custom corrugated, foam, or specialty packaging, we build samples before moving to production. This includes dimensioned samples, fit checks with your actual product, and structural review to confirm the design performs as intended. If transit testing or compression testing is required to validate the design, we can coordinate that as part of the qualification process before you commit to a full production order.
Whether you need to replace a single material, redesign your packaging for a new product, or build a full-facility supply program from the ground up, our team is ready. We will review your requirements, walk your operation if needed, and give you a clear, practical path forward fast.
