From Concept to Completion: Pioneer Packaging

When creating a broad, integrated packaging company, whittling down a mission statement into one, short phrase is easy—when the exclusive focus is customer solutions. Pioneer Packaging begins and ends with the success of our client partners. Pioneer Packaging began partnering with manufacturers and customers back in 1978, offering a comprehensive line of packaging materials and solutions custom-tailored to meet customer needs across many industries—including industrial, retail, medical, and personal care. Today, its packaging lineup includes more than 10,000 packaging and product components.

Providing tier one service across the Midwest

In addition to its distribution and fulfillment center in Naperville, Illinois, Pioneer Packaging has expanded into Wisconsin, with a central distribution warehouse in Milwaukee and a sales. Our team now manages packaging solutions from concept to completion. With the merge of Cardinal Pack the firm now meets ASI food safety certified packaging requirements for the food industry—with printed flexible packaging including laminated film, standup pouches, open-top and thermoformed products and plastic containers, purchase (POP) displays, and more. Pioneer Packaging has focused on food packaging solutions for over 25 years, while serving as a prime logistics and supply partner to the moving and storage industry.

Responding to the demand for flexible packaging

Our supplier-partner network of qualified manufacturers provides flexible packaging, printing and pouching, corrugated, films, bags, inserts, protective packaging, and a host of other products customized to meet client requirements.

It’s how we’re building a “packaging powerhouse for customer growth.”
