Packaging Personified

What Packaging Personified does

Packaging Personified Inc. is a privately held, family-owned manufacturer of custom flexible packaging founded in 1975 by Dominic Imburgia and Phyllis Muccianti, headquartered at 246 Kehoe Blvd, Carol Stream, Illinois, with a second manufacturing facility at 122 South Aspen Street, Sparta, Michigan. The company operates a vertically integrated production chain covering film extrusion (including hundreds of proprietary blend formulations), flexographic printing using solvent-based inks, lamination, slitting and folding, converting into sideweld bags, standup pouches, wicketed bags and specialty closures, laser perforation, and graphics proofing and separation. It serves enterprise customers in bakery, produce, frozen food, consumer goods, and agricultural end markets, working directly with clients to deliver application-specific film structures in widths up to 60 inches, lengths up to 54 inches, gauges between 0.75 and 6.0 mil, and various gusset and lip configurations.

Commercially, the company pursues a sales-led, direct-enterprise GTM with no public pricing and customer-specific quoting based on volume, material, and converting specifications. It carries no disclosed revenue, has 51–100 employees, holds no parent or subsidiary entities, and has no recorded M&A, funding, or restructuring events. Key differentiating credentials include AIB International inspection (2017), ISCC+ certification (2023), and stated commitments that 100% of extruded films are certified recyclable and 100% of internal material is reused or recycled; it maintains memberships in PMA, IPMA, PMMI, AIB International, and the Sustainable Packaging Coalition. Distribution is single-country / domestic.

Marketing is executed through content channels — most prominently a monthly "Personified Times" newsletter running continuously through 2025–2026 — alongside website resources and an FTP site for customers, with no paid digital presence indicated. The company's stated positioning rests on vertical-integration quality and cost management, decades of proven custom formulations, and a Midwest-centric manufacturing footprint serving industry leaders nationwide.
