What Poly-Pak does

Poly-Pak Industries Inc. is a privately held flexible packaging manufacturer founded in 1958 and headquartered in Plainview, New York, with additional US operations in Newark, New Jersey. The company produces one of the broadest catalogs in the industry, spanning nine primary product categories: consumer product packaging, shipping pouches and mailers, retail and promotional bags, can liners and industrial films, cash management and security bags, medical and pharmaceutical packaging, hospitality and food service packaging, apparel packaging, and signage. Core manufacturing capability is centered on flexographic printing (up to 8 colors on both sides, with up to 100% bag imprint coverage) and process printing for high-speed automated packaging lines at a 25M piece minimum, applied across plastic and paper bag formats. The company also operates the American Fiber Technologies division, which produces fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) sign panels and custom signage for commercial and government markets.

The business is supported by an internationally distributed operating footprint, including wholly-owned subsidiary Poly-Pak International Ltd. in Qingdao, China; Packaging Warehouse (BD) PVT. LTD in Dhaka, Bangladesh; a Hong Kong contact office; and Northern and Southern Vietnam regional offices. This structure enables low-cost global sourcing and competitive pricing, supplemented by US-based production for shorter lead times (4 weeks repeat, 5 weeks new orders). Revenue is generated through direct B2B sales via a quote request form, toll-free phone line, and email, with unit pricing per thousand bags and additional charges for artwork, printing plates, and special ink matches. Customer segments are horizontally diversified across consumer products, retail, industrial, apparel, medical, hospitality, and signage end-markets, with no single anchor customer or segment publicly disclosed. The company is independently and privately owned with no evidence of institutional, PE, or strategic parent ownership.

• Sigma Plastics Group: One of North America's largest producers of polyethylene films and bags for industrial, institutional, and retail use. Directly comparable on can liner, industrial film, and retail bag products with overlapping end customers.
• ProAmpac: Flexible packaging and specialty converting company producing bags, pouches, and rollstock for food, retail, and industrial customers. Comparable custom printing and breadth of SKUs, with a similar mix of stock and made-to-order products.
• Hood Packaging Corporation: Manufacturer of paper and plastic packaging including consumer bags, industrial bags, and converted paper products. Highly comparable given Poly-Pak's combined plastic and paper bag portfolio across consumer, industrial, and agricultural end uses.
