What Fantapak does

Fantapak is a U.S. poly bag and flexible packaging manufacturer founded in 1986 and headquartered in Livonia, Michigan. Operating as a division of Inteplast Group — identified as the largest integrated plastics manufacturer in North America — the company designs and supplies proprietary packaging solutions to grocery stores, delis, bakeries, produce departments, meat and seafood counters, confectionery retailers, industrial buyers, and e-commerce shippers. Its portfolio is anchored by patented closure technologies including the One Touch Slider™ Deli bag, Reloc Zippit® reclosable zipper bags (offered in 2, 4, and 6 MIL thicknesses), EZpress™ press-seal deli bags, and freshZIP® laminated stand-up, produce, and bakery pouches, supplemented by anti-microbial chub bags, food-safe paper products, and custom 8-color printed packaging.

Product breadth spans 16+ distinct lines including deli, produce, bakery, hot food, meat/poultry, seafood, sandwich, candy/nut, food storage, safe-handling, and miscellaneous food service bags, plus e-commerce mailers with up to 20% recycled content and industrial Reloc Zippit variants. Several SKUs carry FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and USDA compliance for direct food contact, and the paper line is positioned as PFAS-free. Custom solutions are developed in-house via an 8-color printing process supporting application-specific materials, gauges, dimensions, and branding.

The business operates a consultative B2B model with quote-based unit pricing scaled by volume, gauge, material, and print specifications. Distribution is direct to U.S. business customers via field sales for enterprise accounts and an inside-sales/customer-care team for mid-market and SMB buyers; operations are domestic-only with no international footprint disclosed. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales rather than subscription or licensing, with custom printing acting as a value-added upsell. The organization is small (11-50 employees) and is privately held as part of the Inteplast conglomerate, with no public financial disclosures, funding rounds, or M&A activity present in the available data.
