Bass Flexible Packaging

What Bass Flexible Packaging does

Bass Flexible Packaging, Inc. is a private US manufacturer of custom flexible packaging, operating as a division of strategic parent C-P Flexible Packaging from a single facility in Lakeville, Minnesota (8235 220th Street West). Founded in 1998, the company produces three core product lines: custom shrink products (PVC and PETG shrink bands, shrink bags, preforms, and rollstock tubing in layflat sizes from 28mm to 495mm), pre-made bags (crimp-bottom and fold-over/simplex bags in polypropylene and other films, including compostable options, with FDA food-contact approval), and PVC and PETG rollstock tubing (clear, colored, printed, perforated, automation-grade, and freezer-grade films). The company converts products on-site, which enables custom sizing and short lead times—stock shrink items ship in 1-3 days, custom bags in 2-3 weeks, and same-day shipping is available for in-stock roll SKUs.

The business is run as a small industrial operation: the employee band is 11-50, and the company holds a BRCGS Packaging Materials Certification that anchors its credibility for food-contact applications. Revenue model is quote-based, built on custom specifications and order volume; pricing is not disclosed publicly. Go-to-market is sales-led, with direct customer engagement by phone and email, plus a "Request a Quote" CTA on the company's website and basic social-media presence across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, and Medium. There is no evidence of an in-house sales force or distributor network beyond direct-from-facility shipping.

The customer base is horizontal and primarily US-domestic, with two identifiable segments: regional and national product distributors seeking flexible packaging for tamper-evident seals, product protection, and shelf-life extension, and manufacturing/consumer-product companies needing custom-sized shrink or bag packaging (food packaging, multi-pack bundling, shipping protection). The Midwest location underpins a logistics-driven value proposition of 1-3 day shipping to most of the continental United States, and self-applied brand positioning as "the sports car of the flexible packaging industry" emphasizes speed and personalized service rather than technology differentiation.
