What Morris Packaging does

Morris Packaging, LLC is a privately held US flexible packaging converter founded in 2013 and headquartered in Bloomington, Illinois, operating four Midwest manufacturing facilities (Bloomington IL, Plymouth MN, Jefferson City MO, and the newest Lebanon KY opened in 2025). The company designs and produces a portfolio of multi-format flexible bags and films — including EZ Stand/Inno-Lok stand-up pouches (where it claims the world's largest production capacity), flat bottom, quad seal, 3-side seal, RevoPack 100% recyclable structures, rollstock, polywoven bags, and an 11-layer cast film line for high-barrier forming/non-forming webs — alongside ancillary multi-wall products and value-added services such as warehousing, inventory management, brand design, logistics, and Life Cycle Assessments.

Revenue is generated primarily through B2B custom-quote, Net 30 sales of flexible packaging to enterprise and mid-market customers in pet food (primary), food, chemical/aggregate, and lawn and garden verticals, with named logos including Diamond Pet Foods, American Pet Nutrition, Portland Pet Food, Phillips Pet Food and Supplies, and Snack Food Co. The company's commercial differentiator is a sustainability-led positioning — up to 90% post-consumer recycled content, recycle-ready and How2Recycle pre-qualified structures, 122M+ recycled water bottles and 10.9M lbs post-industrial resin in 2023, and third-party validation via GreenCircle, ISCC+, SQF, and EcoVadis Silver (top 15%, 2025) — reinforced by an enterprise field-sales motion, an MBE certification, and a 251–500 employee base.
