What Rengo Packaging does
Rengo Packaging, Inc. is a Hawaii-based B2B manufacturer of corrugated packaging products, headquartered in a 160,000 sq. ft. facility in Kapolei. The company is the only operator of a full-line corrugator in the state, producing boxes and containers for fruit and produce growers, beverage manufacturers, club stores, the flower industry, fish and seafood processors, pizza restaurants, moving and storage firms, and poultry and egg producers. Beyond corrugated boxes, the product line includes plastic packaging (foil bags, polybags, and patented USDA-approved Bug Bags), packing tape and case-sealing equipment (for which Rengo is the exclusive Hawaii dealer), slip sheets, and custom partitions. Supporting services include CAD-based product sampling, structural design engineering, mechanical packaging systems integration, and logistics optimization.
The company was formed on June 1, 2011, when Rengo Co., Ltd. of Japan acquired the assets of Hawaii Box & Packaging, Inc., retaining all predecessor employees. Rengo Co., Ltd., the oldest and largest containerboard packaging business in Asia, provides corporate backing, financial strength, and global engineering resources, with operations across Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and the United States. Rengo Packaging employs 65 people, runs a sustainability program that includes 50% solar power generation and manufacturing waste recycling, and markets third-party-audited food-safety compliance as a customer requirement.
The business model is direct B2B sales with a professional sales team and field visits to customer sites on any Hawaiian island. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is generated through one-time product sales of manufactured corrugated and plastic packaging, hardware sales of case-sealing equipment, and professional services tied to design, engineering, and logistics support. Marketing relies primarily on direct customer engagement, supplemented by a local-SEO-oriented website, with no public funding, no public listing, and no disclosed revenue figures.

Rengo Packaging competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Graphic Packaging: Major paperboard and folding-carton packaging producer serving food, beverage, and consumer goods customers — overlapping with Rengo's beverage, food, and retail customer base, but focused on paperboard rather than corrugated.
- Sonoco Products: Diversified global packaging manufacturer with paper-based, rigid plastic, and protective packaging lines. Comparable through its mixed-material packaging portfolio serving food, beverage, and industrial customers.
- Sealed Air: Global protective and food packaging manufacturer. Comparable through its protective packaging line (overlap with Rengo's bug bags, polybags, and pallet protection products) and food-safety positioning.
- Packaging Corporation of America: Large US-listed corrugated packaging producer with a national mill and converting footprint. Comparable as a pure-play corrugated manufacturer, but operates at much greater scale across multiple US regions rather than a single-island monopoly.
- Greif: Global industrial packaging producer with containerboard, corrugated, and protective packaging operations. Comparable as a corrugated/paper-based packaging incumbent with industrial customer overlap.
- Pactiv Evergreen: Foodservice and beverage packaging manufacturer with paper-based and rigid plastic products. Comparable through its foodservice/club-store channel overlap with Rengo's pizza, beverage tray, and retail customer mix.
- Pratt Industries: Privately-held US corrugated packaging manufacturer with 90+ plants and a sustainability-led positioning (100% recycled containerboard). Shares Rengo's vertically-integrated corrugator-plus-converter model and sustainability narrative.
- Smurfit Westrock: Global paper-based and corrugated packaging giant formed by the Westrock/Smurfit Kappa merger. Operates a full-line corrugator network similar to Rengo's Hawaii model, but at continental and global scale.
Others
- Inland Empire Foods / Hawaii-based local converters: Smaller Hawaii-based or West Coast regional packaging converters that compete in adjacent product categories (plastic bags, partitions, slip sheets). While few directly compete on full-line corrugated in Hawaii, they represent partial-overlap competitive pressure on the plastic and accessory product lines.
Regional players
- Cascades: Canada-based sustainable packaging manufacturer producing recycled corrugated and tissue products. Comparable through its sustainability positioning (recycled inputs) and corrugated product line, though focused on the North American mainland.
