We are proud of our 99% on-time delivery record that stems from the investments we’ve made in manufacturing, technology, and our facilities. We are committed to delivering reliable, consistent packaging through:

These upgrades allow us to efficiently produce high-volume printed packaging for clients with large-scale needs.
  • Efficiency: Technologically advanced systems improve worker efficiency and quality control for faster turnaround times and consistent packaging.
  • Safety: We are committed to keeping our Great Northern team safe on the job. Through facility upgrades and safety programs, we continuously improve our work environment.

The Benefits of Working With a Custom Packaging Manufacturer

First impressions matter. Make your products stand out on shelves and on doorsteps with custom packaging. Whatever printing and packaging solution you choose, a well-designed product with a vibrant, high-definition logo or print design makes a lasting impression on your customers. Custom packaging also provides a positive product experience.
Custom packaging solutions allow you to highlight important product information without detracting from the beauty and functionality of the packaging’s design. At Great Northern Packaging, we offer various printing and packaging solutions to fit your needs, regardless of your industry, branding objectives, budget or project scope. Our printing and packaging solutions for manufacturers are versatile and cost-effective, whether you have repetitive, promotional or seasonal packaging needs.
Custom printing and packaging allow your organization to choose eco-friendly, recyclable packaging solutions that minimize environmental waste. Our corrugated packaging is made with high percentages of recovered fiber at Great Northern Packaging. We also use water-based inks to help you avoid lead-based inks, which are harmful to the environment.

High-Performance Materials for Custom Packaging

With a custom packaging manufacturer, you have more control over your packaging options. One of the biggest considerations is choosing the right packaging material for your products. Your packaging materials need to withstand rough handling and transport to prevent product damage. Beyond durability, packaging should reflect your brand’s identity and values.

Great Northern Packaging uses premium materials to create high-volume custom packaging, including:

Corrugated paperboard packaging, which is made of three or more sheets of linerboard, is lightweight and cost efficient. Its strong, fluted structure absorbs shocks and resists crushing, making it ideal for heavy, fragile or high-value items. Corrugated is also one of the most environmentally friendly options.

Solid fiber packaging is one of our core offerings. It creates dense, protective packaging solutions for a range of industries. Our eco-friendly solid fiber packaging is also customizable in thickness and size to support both standard and unique shipping requirements.

Our laminated solid fiber packaging is engineered for strength and durability. It is used for edge and corner protection, product stability and shipping. This rigid, high-strength paperboard packaging is ideal for heavy-duty and high-value shipments.

Solid bleached sulfate is a premium base material used in packaging. This substrate features a smooth, high-quality surface and is valued for its brightness, printability and strength. SBS packaging is perfect for luxury cosmetic boxes, packaging of health and wellness products, food packaging and consumer goods packaging.

Uncoated recycled board is a substrate made from recycled paper fibers. It is a sturdy, versatile and cost-effective material. URB packaging also has a natural finish and is used for various products and industries where packaging performance and sustainability are prioritized over bolder visuals.

Choosing Materials From Great Northern Packaging

Most of our products — corrugated, solid fiber, SBS, URB and chipboard — are types of sustainable paperboard packaging. They have different constructions, uses and specialty applications.

As a custom packaging manufacturer, we offer a wide range of customization options for these materials, including thicknesses, sizes and die-cut shapes. We also combine different materials to create unique packaging for our customers and their products. This ability allows us to deliver the exact level of protection and fit for your products while meeting your branding requirements.

If you have more specific packaging needs, Great Northern Packaging has additional protective packaging solutions that incorporate other materials. You can choose molded pulp, wood, biodegradable foam and more for the best possible protection of your product.
