Mystic

What Mystic does

Mystic Assembly & Decorating Co., Inc., operating under the DBA "Mystic" (also referred to as Mystic Assembly, Mystic Assembly & Decorating, and Mystic Decorating Service), is a US-based container and package decorating services provider founded in 1991 and headquartered in a 75,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Ivyland, Pennsylvania. The company applies five decorating processes — screen printing, pad printing, hot stamping, pressure sensitive labeling, and shrink sleeve application — to plastic, glass, and metal containers in various shapes (square, round, flat, oval, bottles, lids, jars, tubes). Production spans fully automatic servo-driven multicolor lines with robotic loading/unloading and solvent-free UV inks through semi-automatic lines for smaller or more custom runs, supported by 25 pad printing lines and two shrink sleeve application lines.

The company serves enterprise customers across personal care/health & beauty, medical and pharmaceutical, automotive, agricultural, food and beverage, and cannabis industries. Named end customers include Jergens, Johnson & Johnson, Kao, L'Oréal, Origins, Procter & Gamble, Redken, Smashbox, Bumble and Bumble, Aveeno, Avon, Clinique, Coty, Estee Lauder, Unilever, Syngenta, Silgan, and Dentsply. Mystic also operates a contract decoration channel through partnerships with injection molding manufacturers and container distributors including Amcor, TricorBraun, O Berk, Berry, INOAC, Pretium, Olcott, and Aptar.

Revenue is generated on a project-based, quote-driven services model (no public pricing), sold directly to manufacturers via phone, email, and website quote requests, and indirectly via contract decoration arrangements with packaging supply chain partners. Ownership is wholly family-held with David Doyle (President, Sales and Finance) and Brian Doyle (President, Production and Operations) leading the business, and no institutional investors, parent companies, or subsidiaries identified in available data.
