Meyers

What Meyers does

Meyers (legal entity: The Meyers Printing Companies, Inc.) is a third-generation, family-owned U.S. converter of sustainable packaging and labels, headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Founded in 1949 and operating with 101–250 employees, the company manufactures custom folding cartons, pressure-sensitive labels, instant redeemable coupons (IRCs/on-pack coupons), RFID-embedded packaging, and roll-to-roll conductive-ink printed electronics from its Minneapolis facility. Technical differentiators include embedded RFID integrated directly into cartons, labels, and backer cards (including non-standard configurations), G7-calibrated color management across presses and substrates, and carbon-neutral, zero-landfill production with FSC/SFI-certified paperboard, PCR content expertise, and low-VOC inks.

The company's customer base is anchored in consumer packaged goods (CPG) — Microsoft, Ulta Beauty, General Mills, Estee Lauder, Aveda, Frito Lay, Kikkoman, Hormel, Nintendo, and Target — supplemented by mid-market and growth-stage brands (Pura, Teton, Thymes, Petit Pot) and adjacent industrial buyers in aerospace, medical, and electronics served through its conductive-ink line. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales with dedicated account management and direct quote-based (project) pricing; the firm states customer relationships lasting 30+ years. Distribution is single-country/domestic, shipping from Minneapolis to retail and DTC channels.

Revenue mechanics are project-based ("one-time-license" style production runs) rather than recurring SaaS, with pricing quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Revenue scale is implied at tens of millions of pieces per year for marquee accounts down to thousands of pieces for emerging brands, and the company is independently ranked among the top 12 largest folding-carton manufacturers globally in 2026. Recent inorganic growth includes the 2025-04-29 acquisition of Mankato Packaging; sustainability and quality credentials include EcoVadis Bronze (2025), Sustainable Green Printing Partnership certification, and G7 Master Qualification (2026). No external institutional investment, subsidiaries, or app-based products are evidenced.
