What Tray Pak Corp does

EasyPak (legally Tray Pak Corp / Easypak LLC, Delaware) is a U.S. thermoformed plastic packaging manufacturer serving large-scale food producers across bakery, meat and protein, deli, produce, confectionery, and snacking categories. The company operates five manufacturing plants across the United States (Leominster, MA headquarters; Vernon, CA; Kalamazoo, MI; Reading, PA; Oldsmar, FL) and offers more than 400 stock shapes and sizes in product families including bowls, clamshells, combo packs, domes and platters, rectangular, round, and square tubs, trays, and serving utensils, alongside fully custom solutions.

The company's core technology is thermoforming — using heat, vacuum, and pressure to form plastic sheets into three-dimensional molded containers. Differentiated proprietary features include a patented Honeycomb base design that captures and holds liquids even when inverted, reducing or eliminating the need for absorbent pads, and the Elevate Freshness® platform for produce shelf-life extension. EasyPak is vertically integrated, reclaiming post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and regrinding scrap; 75% of its packaging is produced from reused materials, with 9.6 million pounds of scrap reground in 2019. The company holds ISO 9001:2015, SQF Safe Quality Food, SCS Global Services, and FDA 21 CFR 110/170-199 certifications, and products are BPA-free.

Commercial operations run on a hybrid enterprise field-sales and self-serve eCommerce model via easypak.com, where customers can search products, request samples, place orders, and request quotes. Unit pricing is applied to stock products while custom solutions are quoted through the sales team. EasyPak is a private equity-backed platform built by Graham Partners, Inc. through integration of three synergistic thermoforming businesses (Tray Pak, Nuconic Packaging in 2020, Douglas Stephen Plastics in 2020, and James L. Villa, Inc. in 2024), with Kevin Andrews serving as CEO. Documented customer outcomes include a 13% package gram weight reduction, 7% cost reduction, 2,000 gallons of fuel saved, and 19 metric tons of GHG emissions avoided in a Fortune 100 food processor redesign.

Broad incumbents

• Sonoco Products: Diversified global packaging company with rigid paper, plastics and flexible packaging serving food and consumer goods. Comparable as a broad packaging incumbent overlapping EasyPak in rigid plastic food containers, with greater scale and diversification.
• Sealed Air Corporation: Major food-packaging incumbent with rigid tray and MAP-related offerings (Cryovac) plus protective packaging. Comparable in MAP and protein/produce tray segments where EasyPak's Honeycomb competes, though Sealed Air is far broader and more diversified.
• Berry Global Group: Global rigid and flexible plastics manufacturer serving food, beverage and consumer goods with thermoformed containers, bowls, and trays. Comparable because its rigid-plastics packaging division directly overlaps EasyPak's thermoformed food-packaging offering, although Berry operates at much larger scale across multiple packaging formats.
• Dart Container: Large foodservice packaging manufacturer with rigid plastic cups, containers, clamshells and lids. Comparable in foodservice rigid containers, although Dart's core focus on EPS and cups places it as a broader incumbent rather than a focused thermoformed rival.
• Pactiv Evergreen: Large North American foodservice and food-packaging manufacturer with deep thermoformed and rigid-plastics capabilities across meat trays, clamshells, and prepared-food containers. Comparable because it dominates the same product categories EasyPak serves (meat trays, produce clamshells, foodservice containers), but at significantly greater scale and with a much broader portfolio.
• Reynolds Consumer Products: Consumer packaging company with foodservice and retail rigid-plastic product lines including Hefty and related brands. Comparable broad incumbent with overlapping presence in foodservice containers and tableware, though less specialized in thermoformed protein/produce trays.

Direct peers

• Anchor Packaging: Thermoformed rigid plastic packaging producer specializing in clamshells, bowls, and foodservice containers for grocery, deli, bakery and produce end markets. Highly comparable direct peer competing for the same customer segments with a similar product mix.
• Genpak: Specialty thermoformed packaging manufacturer focused on foodservice clamshells, bowls, hinged containers and produce trays — almost identical product set to EasyPak. Most directly comparable mid-sized thermoformed competitor for bakery, deli, produce and protein applications.
• Sabert Corporation: Manufacturer of foodservice and food-packaging solutions including thermoformed clamshells, bowls, and trays for prepared foods, bakery, and produce. Comparable direct peer targeting the same retail and foodservice customers with overlapping product formats.
• Placon: Thermoformed plastic packaging manufacturer with a comparable mix of stock and custom food containers, including clamshells, tubs, and trays. Closely comparable mid-sized peer with overlapping recycled-content (PCR) sustainability positioning and food-industry customer base.
