What Accredo Packaging does

Accredo Packaging, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned flexible packaging manufacturer headquartered in Sugar Land, Texas, with a wholly owned subsidiary, Accredo Asia, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Founded in 2009 as a new arm of API Group, the company produces pouches, laminated roll stock, shrink bundling film, multi-layer barrier films, overwrap, wicketed bags, breathable films, and labels for consumer packaged goods brands in food, beverage, pet food, frozen food, dairy, fresh protein, produce, ready meals, detergents, and hygiene categories. Manufacturing is conducted from a LEED Silver-certified campus in Sugar Land powered by 100% wind-generated electricity, with a duplicate LEED Silver-certified footprint in Vietnam.

The company's underlying technology stack consists of conventional but advanced flexible-packaging processes: 3, 5, and 9-layer blown film extrusion with EVOH and Nylon barrier layers, 10-color expanded gamut flexographic printing with in-house platemaking, multi-layer lamination, and proprietary MDO (machine direction orientation) technology for downgauged shrink and barrier films. Material innovation centers on bio-based polyethylene through a Braskem partnership (sugarcane-derived I'm Green resin with a certified negative carbon footprint), mono-material PE structures designed for store drop-off recycling (AccredoFlex® RP™ Gen²), and ASTM D6400-certified compostable structures validated by the Biodegradable Products Institute. Additional certifications include How2Recycle labeling, BRCGS A+ food safety, and USDA BioPreferred.

Accredo operates a sales-led, enterprise field-sales GTM targeting procurement, packaging engineering, and R&D teams at national and global CPG brands, supported by participation in major packaging trade shows (Pack Expo, PLMA, IPPE, Sweets & Snacks, SUPERZOO, Seafood Expo) and direct RFQ-based quotes. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated almost entirely from B2B hardware sales (films and converted pouches) sold in two channels: US direct sales through the Sugar Land facility and Asia direct sales through the Vietnam facility. The company is undergoing a Microsoft Dynamics CRM and Dynamics 365 Business Central implementation to consolidate sales, inventory, accounting, and customer service operations through 2025.
