What Chantler Packages does

Chantler Packages is a Canadian flexible food packaging manufacturer headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, specializing in film extrusion, flexographic printing (up to 10 colors), and high-speed bag making for the food industry. The company traces its origins to 1930 when Ernest and John Chantler established Chantler & Chantler in Toronto. Its product portfolio spans 11 packaging categories — bakery, produce, confectionery, frozen food, ingredients, pasta, sauces, snacks, personal care/beverage/home care, other specialty packaging, and the proprietary PrimePro line. PrimePro is the company's flagship proprietary technology, an ethylene-absorbing film that extends shelf-life of fresh produce by several days to weeks, with a dedicated format serving the meal-kit delivery segment.

The company operates a B2B sales-led model selling custom flexible packaging — including wicket bags, stand-up pouches, freezer-grade CPP films, retort pouches, sachets, flow wrap, and rollstock — to food manufacturers, processors, produce growers, and consumer goods companies across North America. Pricing is quotation-based with no public disclosure, and the company engages customers directly on project specifics including sizing, material blend, special features, shipping logistics, mockups, and artwork. The One World Sourcing model combines North American project management with overseas manufacturing, enabling cost-effective production under Chantler's quality oversight.

Chantler Packages was formed on June 30, 2017, as a joint venture between Chantler Packaging Inc. and Packages Lanka (Private) Limited, a subsidiary of Packages Limited (Pakistan), the largest packaging manufacturer in Pakistan with CAD$322 million in 2016 sales and operations in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. The JV grants Chantler Packages access to four production facilities across three continents and a customer base including Tier 1 CPG companies (Frito Lay, Nestlé, Unilever, P&G, Mondelēz, Colgate-Palmolive) via the Packages Limited network. The company holds FSSC 22000 (one of the first Canadian flexible packaging manufacturers certified) and ISO 9001:2015 certifications, with select products NSF International tested. Standalone headcount is 11-50 employees, while the parent conglomerate employs 2,600+.
