What PSI Packaging Services does

PSI Packaging Services, Inc. is a Plano, Texas-based manufacturer's representative agency founded in 1995 that connects manufacturers of packaging equipment with buyers across the four-state region of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana. The company aggregates the product lines of 15 principal manufacturers into a single-source channel, covering nine equipment categories: filling, capping, labeling and coding, shrink sleeving, bagging, inspection (x-ray and metal detection plus inline checkweighers), end-of-line packaging (case erecting, taping, palletizing, stretch wrapping), rotomolded bins/totes, and—in partnership with Product Inspection Group—mobile x-ray rental services. Solutions range from entry-level semi-automatic equipment for startups to fully automated turnkey packaging lines, addressing industries including food and beverage, chemicals, rice, and broader manufacturing.

The underlying technology sold through PSI is largely partner-supplied industrial packaging hardware—electromechanical fillers, induction sealers, label applicators, shrink tunnels, checkweighers, and x-ray inspection systems—rather than proprietary PSI-developed technology. PSI's role is curation of vetted vendor selection, applications engineering, line design, on-site installation, and start-up training, with manufacturer-direct pricing preserved.

PSI generates revenue as commission-based equipment sales (one-time license model) on each transaction routed through the agency, supplemented by transactional revenue from x-ray rental engagements. Customer segments span large enterprise manufacturers, mid-market producers, and startup operations, with named accounts including Nature Nate's (honey), First Place Foods, Inline Filling Systems, and Nita Sentient Labeling Systems, the last two being both customers and principal manufacturing partners. Go-to-market is direct-sales-led via a small field team (led by President Mark Shoemaker) and inside sales, augmented by partner endorsements and word-of-mouth referrals in the regional packaging channel.
