What Custom Pak Illinois does

Custom Pak Illinois, Inc. is a privately held B2B contract packaging (co-packing) company founded in 1985 and headquartered in a single facility at 361 Keyes Avenue, Hampshire, Illinois. The company packages liquid, semi-solid, and chemical formulations for industrial manufacturers across at least seven verticals: hardware, automotive, chemical, household, industrial, construction, and cosmetics, plus janitorial supplies and pesticides. Revenue is generated through three streams: contract packaging services billed on a project and volume basis (bottle, pouch, tube, pipette, cartridge, carton, kit, bag, blister), turnkey private label programs covering component sourcing through on-demand fulfillment, and proprietary specialty product manufacturing under the Yale Automotive Products brand (MC 16 and MC 6 muffler cements) and private-label adhesive and lubricant SKUs.

Underlying technology centers on a capital-intensive filling fleet that includes piston fillers, progressive cavity pumps, peristaltic systems for non-Newtonian and high-viscosity fluids, horizontal form-fill-seal pouch lines with vacuum seal-integrity testing, tube lines handling low- to high-viscosity and anaerobic/moisture-cure chemistries, and precision bottle-filling with coding for batch-level traceability. Differentiated capabilities include bottle paneling prevention through pressure testing, stability studies, and simulated transport trials; digital batch-level traceability for rapid recall and compliance; and EPA Tier 2, alcohol, and pesticide permit coverage for hazardous and flammable chemistries. The company also operates disinfectant and sanitizing wipes saturation lines using spunlace and nonwoven substrates, and conducts custom formulation and manufacturing of epoxy, silicone, acrylic, and polyurethane adhesives and sealants.

The business model is sales-led and quote-based with no public rate card; customers initiate via website quote request, phone, or email ([email protected], [email protected]) and specify first-run and first-year volumes. Target buyers are mid-market to enterprise industrial manufacturers seeking turnkey packaging from pilot runs through high-volume production. Distribution is single-country domestic (U.S., Midwest-anchored), with claims of global supply chain reach for private label programs. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent, institutional, or venture backing, and no disclosed revenue or headcount.
