What EasyPak does
EasyPak is a privately held, U.S.-based thermoformed plastic packaging manufacturer serving large-scale food producers, co-packers, and distributors. The company produces PET-based containers, trays, clamshells, bowls, tubs, domes, platters, and serving utensils using thermoforming processes applied to APET, RPET, and PCR materials. EasyPak operates five manufacturing facilities distributed across Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Michigan, California, and Florida, supported by in-house design, extrusion, and tool fabrication capabilities that enable both a 400+ SKU catalog of stock products and custom-engineered packaging solutions. Proprietary technologies such as the patented Honeycomb moisture-trapping base, Elevate Freshness® produce packaging (co-developed with Michigan State University), Ultrasonic Tear Strip, HPP-compatible, and tamper-evident features differentiate its offering against commodity thermoformers.
The company sells directly to enterprise food customers via its eCommerce website, phone sales, and inside-sales contact channels, with quote-based pricing for bulk and custom orders rather than publicly listed pricing. Its go-to-market combines enterprise field sales targeting national producers with product-led discovery through an online Product Search Tool and free sample requests. EasyPak serves eight primary use-case segments — Bakery & Desserts, Deli/Snacks/Food Processing, Herb/Tender Leaf/Fresh Cut, Meat & Proteins, Confections, Catering & Platters, Snacks/Fruits/Nuts, and Custom Solutions — with Meat & Proteins and produce-related categories positioned as growth verticals driven by state-level EPS foam bans. Certifications (ISO 9001:2015, SQF, SCS Global Services, FDA compliance) and a sustainability positioning built on 75% recycled plastic content and 9.6 million pounds of reground scrap in 2019 support qualification with major food retailers.
EasyPak is owned by private equity firm Graham Partners, which assembled the platform by acquiring and integrating EasyPak LLC, Tray-Pak Corporation, and Nuconic Packaging (2019-2020), and later added Douglas Stephen Plastics (March 2020) and James L. Villa, Inc. (October 2024). Kevin Andrews serves as CEO. The company operates exclusively in North America, has no disclosed revenue, and does not appear to deploy AI/ML capabilities in its products or operations.
