What Bryce Corporation does

Bryce Corporation is a fourth-generation family-owned flexible packaging manufacturer headquartered in Memphis, TN, with a 350,000 sq. ft. manufacturing footprint in Searcy, AR and a newly opened production facility as of January 2024. The company produces custom flexible packaging — films, laminations, pre-made pouches, and roll stock — for enterprise customers in food, salty snacks, confectionery, pet food, bakery, frozen foods, and home/health/beauty end-markets. Core production capabilities center on proprietary 7-color extended gamut flexographic printing (developed in-house since 1998 with first production in 2004), multi-layer extrusion lamination with moisture/oxygen/EVOH barrier structures, precision slitting, customizable perforation (hot/cold needle, slitscore, laser scoring), and in-house pouch making including Inno-Lok closures; the company also commercializes sustainable film structures under its 'Beyond by Bryce' sub-brand covering recyclable, compostable, bio-based, and post-consumer recycled content solutions.

Revenue is generated through custom B2B quoting tied to customer specifications, materials, order quantities, and complexity, with multi-year contracts and an enterprise field-sales motion supported by a dedicated Account Management Department and on-site Field Service Technicians. The company is vertically integrated through its wholly-owned prepress and plate-making subsidiary Cyber Graphics and its minority-owned MBE-certified partner Johnson Bryce (waxing/coating). It is privately held with no institutional investors or public-market involvement, employs roughly 665 people across Memphis and Searcy, and was founded in 1969 by William H. Bryce Jr., with current leadership spanning the third and fourth Bryce-family generations.
