What The Revere Group does

The Revere Group is a fourth-generation, family-owned specialty packaging manufacturer and wholesaler headquartered in Seattle, Washington, founded in 1938 as the MJ Glerup Company. It serves artisan and small-to-mid-sized gourmet food producers, chocolatiers, candy makers, and natural/organic food brands through two operating divisions: Glerup Revere Packaging, which distributes over 3,000 SKUs of stock food-safe packaging (rigid boxes, clear PET containers, bags, pouches, confectionery supplies, ribbons and accessories) via B2B e-commerce and inside sales; and Revere Flexpak, which manufactures custom flexible packaging (stand-up pouches, rollstock, high-barrier films, labels) using HD flexographic printing and proprietary Expanded Color Gamut (ECG) seven-ink technology that reproduces more than 90% of Pantone colors, plus cold-seal capability for heat-sensitive products.

The company earns revenue through three streams: (1) direct wholesale of stock packaging at unit pricing with 24–48 hour shipment and volume discounts at 5- and 10-case quantities; (2) fully custom packaging manufacturing (bags, boxes, pouches, PET containers, candy cups) with project-based quoting and lead times of 4–10 weeks; and (3) in-house hot stamping and label customization services with low MOQs (100 pieces). Pricing is transparent and pay-as-you-go, supplemented by a free-sample program (up to $5) and a small-order surcharge for orders under $50. The company sells exclusively to B2B buyers (resale certificate required), ships domestically across the US with selected international capability, and supports demand generation through content marketing, trade PR, and presence at Winter FancyFaire, Natural Products Expo West, and the RCI Candy Convention.

Strategic posture is niche specialization: deep confectionery and gourmet food expertise built over nearly nine decades, expanded with tuck-in acquisitions (Mimi et Cie, Spectrum Ascona, Burns Packaging, Union Bay Label) and a recently expanded ink-technology partnership with Siegwerk. Ownership remains entirely within the Revere family with no external institutional capital or public listing disclosed.
