Aripack

What Aripack does

Aripack is a privately held B2B packaging distributor founded in 2001 and headquartered at the MADE Campus in Brooklyn, New York. The company designs, sources, and converts flexible and rigid packaging for North American consumer packaged goods brands, with manufacturing partnerships in Asia and Europe and wholly-owned regional subsidiaries in Virginia (Tysons and Sterling), Turkey (Izmir), and China (Changzhou). Its product portfolio spans four core lines — Flexibles (roll stock, stand-up pouches, quad and block bottom pouches, Doypacks, shrink sleeves), Rigids, Pouch Forming services, and Food Service — organized by end-market including coffee, snacks, dairy, meat and seafood, confectionary, pet food, lawn and garden, and bakery.

Underpinning the portfolio is the proprietary NEO Plastics sustainable packaging sub-brand, an organic-additive technology that accelerates anaerobic biodegradation of plastic packaging in landfill environments, converting waste into biogas. NEO Plastics has been validated under ASTM D5511 testing (33.4% degradation after 451 days) and is FDA and GRAS compliant for food contact, available across flexible, rigid, and coffee pod formats. The product mix also includes the proprietary Invisivalve one-way degassing valve for coffee packaging.

Aripack operates a direct, quote-based enterprise sales model through regional US offices, targeting CPG customers with multi-year contracts and customized solutions. The company monetizes primarily through one-time sales of packaging materials and converting services, with a premium-priced sustainable tier via NEO Plastics and an adjacent equipment distribution business following the June 2021 expansion as exclusive North American distributor. Named enterprise customers include LesserEvil and La Colombe, alongside a long tail of SMB coffee roasters and broader CPG accounts. Industry association memberships (Sustainable Packaging Coalition, ASTM International, How2Recycle, PMMI) and active trade-show presence (Pack Expo 2025) round out the commercial positioning.
