What EnviroPAK does

EnviroPAK Corporation is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of custom molded fiber (molded pulp) packaging, founded in 1995 and headquartered in an 87,000 sq. ft. facility in Earth City (St. Louis), Missouri. The company engineers, designs, and produces protective packaging — trays, inserts, shippers, and hybrid paperboard combinations — made from 100% recycled paper that is 100% biodegradable and compostable, serving as an alternative to expanded polystyrene (EPS) and other plastic packaging. Production is delivered through IMFA Type 2 molded fiber lines (one forming, one transfer mold, ~0.065" wall thickness) as well as a Type 4 after-pressed premium finish process, with in-house tool design (SolidWorks 3D CAD) and CNC/SolidCAM mold manufacturing. Finished products meet UPS, FedEx, Amazon, and ISTA shock and vibration testing standards.

The company's commercial model is a sales-led, quote-based custom manufacturing operation targeting enterprise and mid-market customers across at least seven verticals: outdoor goods, household & hardware, electronics, white goods, medical devices, aerospace, and beverage. Differentiators include the Tool for Life program (one-time tooling purchase with no lifecycle repricing), nesting designs that reduce warehouse footprint by over 50%, static-neutral material for electronics, and claimed cost reductions of up to 70% versus incumbent packaging substrates. EnviroPAK sells direct, primarily in North America (USA, Canada, Mexico), supported by a central U.S. logistics position and content marketing via its PULPit newsletter and case-study library. Named customers include Boeing, Medtronic, Kohler, Moen, Schick (Edgewell), Polaris, Humminbird (Johnson Outdoors), Purolator, Basler, Ingenico, and Resideo, alongside smaller brands such as RIO Products, Potter's Crackers, and Craft Alley.

EnviroPAK operates without disclosed external funding, parent company, or public listing, and is led by President Patrick McSwain, Vice President of Sales & Marketing Bryon Crump, Director of Operations Nick Follmer, and Director of Custom Solutions Matthew Ziegler. Certifications include ISO 14000, European Green Dot, EPA procurement guidelines, and U.S. Lacey Act compliance; the company received the 2023 AmeriStar Sustainability Packaging Award for the RIO Products water-dissolvable fly line spooler. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.
