ELWOOD PACKAGING, INC.

Stock and Custom Items in Packaging

Since 1947, Elwood Packaging has been finding innovative ways to create packaging solutions that help our clients drive their business forward. From our experienced and talented staff of sales engineers and structural/graphic designers located in Chicago, to our distributors across the country, we will work with you to find the perfect packaging solution. We believe in our customers and their ideas. This philosophy has guided us as we've successfully designed and manufactured corrugated packaging for over 50 years. From our 6-color custom products to over 385 durable stock items, we can help you with your packaging needs.

In our 140,000 square foot facility we specialize in manufacturing marketing kit, promotional packaging, direct mail campaign, educational tote kit, portfolio, binder, press release kit, presentation packaging, point of purchase (POP) display, software packaging, ESD, stock box, stock display and industrial box items.

When it comes to materials that we produce, nobody can match the variety: single face in colors, wave flute in colors, triple white, triple black, micro flute, specialty cover stock, lenticular/hologram, E/B open face and standard box materials.

Software Packaging, Point of Purchase Display

Differentiate your software with unique packaging. The first impression your customer has of your product is the package it comes in. With high impact graphics (up to six colors) you’ll make a bold statement about your product. Corrugated slip cases are more durable than chip board packaging with corrugated inserts and can be customized to any shape or size you want. Our slip cases are more affordable than a rigid set-up box, and you save on shipping costs and valuable storage space. Present your software in style with corrugated slip cases — the durable software packaging solution.

Elwood's Point of Purchase (POP) Display puts your product in the spotlight. Putting your product on display is an effective way to gain attention. Sell your product with an impactful display. Our sales engineers and structural designers can convert your ideas into finished, workable displays that get attention and are better equipped than many salespeople. With our production capabilities, we are able to construct any size, shape, and color imaginable. Choose from any CD floorstand display, gravity feed powerwing counter display, shipping display, literature counter display, ballot box, easel-style display and literature pocket. Our experience gives your product a competitive advantage and it will get noticed.

Custom Corrugated Packaging, Micro Flute Presentation Package

Present your products and promotional materials in style using Elwood's custom capabilities. Our corrugated packaging solutions make a bold statement with 7-color offset printing or our direct 4-color capability. Corrugated is durable, yet lightweight, and can be customized to any shape or size you want. Elwood's corrugated packaging delivers a great first impression.

Package your ideas to sell. A high impact, colorful marketing kit can sell ideas. Stand out from your competition with a package that presents itself. A new micro flute presentation package will work wonders for showing off your ideas. Provide your customers with a convenient, unique, long lasting kit that holds your sales and informational materials securely.

Market your informational and promotional materials cost-effectively with stylish graphics on strong, yet lightweight, corrugated packaging. You can use corrugated packaging for your ring binder, pocket folder and promotional mailer. Corrugated packaging gives your customers a great first impression.
