Spectrum Packaging Corporation

What Spectrum Packaging Corporation does

Spectrum Packaging Corporation (SPC) is an Orlando, Florida-based privately held folding-carton manufacturer founded in 2000 (operations under the SPC and Spectrum Print Communications brands) that, since 2018, has operated exclusively in packaging after completing a multi-year pivot away from commercial printing. SPC produces custom folding cartons serving pharmaceutical and nutritional, food and confectionery, health and beauty, consumer products, beverage, CBD, luxury, and specialty gift-box end markets, with capabilities spanning structural engineering (ArtiosCAD plus Kongsberg cutting tables), offset and specialty printing (seven-color Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106 with UV curing and Prinect inline quality control), inline finishing (Bobst VISIONCUT die cutters, Bobst EXPERTFOLD folder-gluers at up to 100,000 cartons/hour, and GenieCut in-line window application), True Security anti-counterfeiting features, and short-run packaging via an Anicolor press for runs up to 24-point board. The company holds FSSC 22000 food-safety, FSC, G7 Master Facility Colorspace, and GMI Certified Print Facility certifications and is a certified supplier under the Walgreens, Target, and CVS private-label packaging programs.

SPC sells B2B on a quote-based, project-driven pricing model with multi-year contracts through a direct sales team of account representatives led by President Mark Mills and supported by inside engineering, estimating, and customer-service functions; deal sizes range from short-run prototypes (Anicolor) to millions of units (Speedmaster XL 106 throughput). Go-to-market combines a content-marketing website with portfolio showcase, annual holiday/sample kits as awareness collateral, industry-award participation, and facility tours from the Orlando headquarters, with a stated East Coast sales footprint running from New York to Miami. Operational footprint comprises a 60,000 sq. ft. headquarters plus an additional 24,000 sq. ft. warehouse added in 2022, with reported team growth of 15% in 2021 and continuous equipment capex, including a $2.5M finishing-equipment investment in 2020 and the April 2024 Heidelberg press installation.

The business is owned and led by CEO Mike Rogers and President Mark Mills, with no disclosed institutional or private-equity ownership. SPC's moat rests on hard-won certified-supplier status with three Fortune 100 retail pharmacies / mass retailers, accumulated industry recognition (47 Florida Print and Packaging Awards in 2025, multiple PPC and FSEA Gold Awards), and specialized capital equipment that produces measurable throughput and waste advantages. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the scale of capex, certified-supplier relationships, and diversified vertical mix are consistent with a mid-market folding-carton converter in roughly the $25M–$50M revenue band.
