What JohnPac does
JohnPac, LLC is a privately held industrial packaging manufacturer and distributor headquartered in Crowley, Louisiana. The company was founded in 1953 by Mitchell John as Louisiana Bag Company to supply burlap and cotton bags to Louisiana rice farmers. Through the 1980s the firm expanded into industrial packaging; in 1992 it opened LA PAC, a domestic woven polypropylene bag manufacturing plant that made the John family both distributor and manufacturer of customer bags. After a 2003 Easter Sunday facility fire, the firm rebuilt and consolidated its manufacturing and distribution operations into a 165,000-square-foot facility that opened in 2005. The two predecessor companies were merged into the JohnPac brand, which remains family-owned by David M. John and Peter M. John, with Mary Ellen Henry serving as CEO.
JohnPac manufactures woven polypropylene bags, BOPP bags (biaxially oriented polypropylene with photo-realistic print capability), and FIBC/bulk bags (including UN-certified, food-grade, Type C/D anti-static variants with safe working loads up to 8,000 lbs) at its Crowley facility. Production capability spans extrusion, circular weaving, full-color printing, lamination, and assembly, complemented by an imported bag line for cost-sensitive SKUs. The firm also distributes 3,500+ industrial packaging products — corrugated boxes, stretch film, pails, drums, carboys, packing tape, polyethylene films, packaging equipment (Lantech stretch wrappers), and protective packaging — and offers a free FIBC calculator and FIBCA technical guidelines online. Quality credentials include USDA TQSA certification (94/100, first in industry to pass), ISO 9001-2000, UN bulk bag certification, FDA food-grade compliance, FIBCA membership, and a 2023 EcoVadis Bronze sustainability rating.
Revenue is generated predominantly through one-time sales of manufactured and distributed packaging products on a quote-based pricing model, with optional vendor-managed warehousing arrangements that provide recurring inventory replenishment, and multi-year contracts for custom specifications. GTM is sales-led: dedicated territory-based sales representatives, executive sponsorship, online quote requests, trade show presence at PACK EXPO and Texas Grain & Feed Show, and a multi-channel content and social media footprint. The company sells directly via a 14-truck private delivery fleet regionally across Louisiana and the American South, through Amazon marketplace for smaller orders, and via import/export operations for global accounts. Customers span agriculture (rice, crawfish, grains, feed), chemical manufacturing (UN-certified hazmat), construction, government agencies (USDA/CCC eligible), minerals, and food processing/food stuffs.
