What MYP does

The Mid-York Press (MYP) is a privately held, family-owned paperboard packaging manufacturer and commercial printer headquartered in Sherburne, New York, operating from a 60,000-square-foot two-campus facility with approximately 65 employees. The company produces custom folding cartons, rigid boxes, package inserts, and padding (representing 70% of business) along with commercial printing services for local businesses (30%), serving pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food, and specialty product companies nationwide. Manufacturing is fully vertically integrated in-house across CAD package design (Cimex CimPack, Kongsberg), electronic pre-press (Kodak Prinergy and Sonora plates), sheeting, offset (Heidelberg CX 6 Color, Komori LS440) and digital printing (Heidelberg Versafire EP), diecutting (Bobst Expertcut 106 PER, Kluge), gluing and finishing (Bobst Expertfold with Speedwave), and Global Vision R44 print inspection.

The business is led by the Tenney family, with Robert W. Tenney as President and CEO and Kyle L. Tenney as VP of Marketing and Long Range Planning, and is bootstrapped with no external funding, acquisitions, or subsidiaries. MYP differentiates on no minimum order quantities (enabled by digital printing and in-house short-run capability), FDA cGMP compliance for pharmaceutical cartons, GMI-certified printing, and lead times reportedly up to two weeks faster than the industry average. Go-to-market is sales-led with a five-person direct sales team, a self-service website quote form, and content marketing focused on sustainable packaging topics. Customer concentration is moderate, anchored by multi-decade relationships such as BCI Syracuse (25+ years) and JDJ Solutions (10+ years) alongside a long tail of small-batch startup and SMB accounts.
