What Hood Packaging Corporation does

Hood Packaging Corporation is a North American flexible and paper packaging manufacturer serving industrial and consumer-product customers across agriculture, animal nutrition, food, building materials, chemicals, dairy, and coffee end-markets. The company, founded in 1978 and headquartered in Madison, Mississippi (with a parallel Canadian headquarters in Burlington, Ontario), operates 20 manufacturing plants across the United States and Canada and is a member of the closely held Hood Group of Companies alongside sister entities Hood Industries, Atlas, Hood Container, and Bagtape Closures.

Its portfolio spans five core substrate categories — multi-wall paper packaging, flexible plastic packaging, woven polypropylene bags, liquid packaging and filling equipment, and specialty coated materials — covering more than 20 distinct SKUs ranging from 1 lb to 100 lb capacities. Technical capabilities include up to 7-layer film coextrusion, 10-color flexo printing, adhesive and extrusion lamination, form-fill-seal (FFS) rollstock with Inno-Lok® and Zip360® reclosable options, and a proprietary AIRE-TITE® bag-in-bag venting system for dairy powders and high-value products. A dedicated graphics facility in Anniston, Alabama supports print and pre-press; the Glopak Division handles plastic packaging in Cornwall and Montreal.

Hood Packaging runs an enterprise field-sales GTM with a quote-based pricing model, Net 30 standard terms, and a Client Center portal for order management. Direct sales representatives handle new accounts (routed through the Atlanta corporate office), while technical advisers work on-customer-site to optimize line performance. Marketing is concentrated on the corporate website (hoodpkg.com), with sustainability, SQF food-safety, and SFI forestry certifications supporting procurement at food-grade and ESG-conscious accounts. The company has no public revenue, funding, or ownership disclosures beyond its parent conglomerate affiliation.
