Info

Commercial Packaging was founded in 1983 by Gary Egbers as a marketer and contract manufacturer of packaging products. From our inception, Commercial Packaging had one goal in mind: be the best supplier to our customers. The simple philosophy allowed the business to grow from a one-person operation located in the Egbers' family basement to multiple office and warehouse locations across the country. In 2000, we acquired Industrial Paper and Packaging to provide more extensive service to our customers. In 2004, we acquired RafCo Packaging which services the upper Northwest region of the United States. As a company, we have won the Illinois Family Business of the Year award in 2001. In 2004, Commercial Packaging won the Institute of Packaging Professionals' Ameristar Award for innovative packaging designs and was nominated for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award.
