Sustainable Packaging Services
It’s All in the Design
Package Development Co., Inc. has produced consumer packaging utilizing recycled plastics for more than 25 years, far longer of most of the industry. The design and engineering that we put into our customer packaging takes into consideration automation, reducing labor cost. All of us at Package Development take pride in reducing our carbon foot print. One example is more product per pallet = higher cube, fewer trailers, less fuel consumption, smaller warehouse space, less corrugated, fewer pallets.
Our factory is state of the art, sky lights provide natural lighting, machinery heating and cooling processes recycled. We utilize high efficiency hydraulics and servo systems. Everything from paper board, pallets, plastics, oils, greases, lubricants, aluminum, and glass all go through a closed loop recycling life cycle.
