Goldrich Printpak Inc

What Goldrich Printpak Inc does

Goldrich Printpak Inc. is a Toronto-based custom folding carton and paperboard packaging manufacturer founded in 1953, operating from a single 67,700-68,000 sq.ft. facility with approximately 90 employees. The company serves four core verticals — food, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and alcohol — producing custom boxes, containers, formed trays, blister packs, and point-of-purchase displays, all under integrated design-to-delivery services that span CAD/CAM structural design, prototyping, offset and digital printing, specialty finishing (embossing, foil stamping, spot UV, die-cutting), and on-site co-packing/fulfillment. Its customer base is anchored by regulatory-intensive end markets, evidenced by FSSC 22000 V6, ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and FSC certifications, as well as documented Health Canada, FDA, and liquor board compliance expertise.

The business model is B2B custom manufacturing with quote-based pricing, a 10,000-unit minimum order quantity, and transaction-based revenue rather than recurring contracts. The company sells directly to brand owners across North America and internationally, managing cross-border logistics from its Toronto plant, and supplements core packaging with warehousing, inventory management, batch tracking, and club-pack fulfillment services. Innovation is a stated priority, with two PAC Global Awards (2024 popcorn tub, 2025 compostable clamshells) and a cumulative 44 packaging-excellence awards from 2011 to 2022 supporting a sustainable packaging pipeline.

On June 5, 2026, Goldrich was acquired by Supremex Inc., a TSX-listed Montreal-based paper packaging and envelope manufacturer, for approximately $34.0 million on a cash-free, debt-free basis. The acquisition, financed through Supremex's existing credit facility, establishes Supremex's first major folding carton platform in the Greater Toronto Area and ends Goldrich's 70-plus-year run as an independent family-owned Canadian packaging business.
