What Aerosol & Liquid Packaging does

Aerosol & Liquid Packaging Inc. is a privately held, family-owned contract packaging company headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, operating from two Baltimore facilities (715 South Haven Street and 3701-A Southwestern Blvd). Founded in 2000 by Wayne Grube Sr., who entered the filling and packaging industry in 1964, the business is now run by his two sons and serves as a turnkey packager for small, medium, and large companies across personal care, cosmetics, cleaning products, fragrances, gels, creams, salves, and OTC pharmaceutical applications.

The company's core capability is physical contract filling and packaging: aerosol packaging using pressurized containers, liquid packaging across a wide size range from half-ounce fills up to drums, totes, and bulk containers, and specialized bag-on-valve filling using compressed-air propellant. Production is supported by batching kettles ranging from 75 to 1,100 gallons, a Master Chemist for formulation work, and full product development services including testing through outside labs, FDA registration assistance, and artwork and packaging design. The facility is cGMP compliant, FDA registered, ATF monitored with an alcohol license, and has maintained a clean FDA audit history, qualifying it for OTC and alcohol-containing product work. Adjacent service lines include re-work and recall processing, kitting and display assembly, and paid warehousing.

Revenue is generated through quote-based per-project contract packaging fees with a standard 5,000-unit minimum (10,000 for OTC) and small-run surcharges below threshold. Product development is structured in tiers: free basic development, $150/hour for standard projects, and a $1,500 retainer (with $750 credited against the first order) for more involved work. Warehousing is sold as a $100-$200/month subscription. The go-to-market is sales-led, driven by website quote requests and direct engagement, with no disclosed marketing outside the company's alpackaging.com site. Customer mix is described horizontally across company sizes and verticals, with no named customer logos, no public revenue figures, and no external funding, M&A, or partnership activity disclosed.
