What M&Q Packaging, Llc does

M&Q Packaging LLC is a privately held, U.S.-based custom manufacturer of high-temperature plastic packaging films, founded in 1956 and headquartered in Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania. The company extrudes and converts nylon (polyamide), co-polyester, and elastomer films engineered to withstand temperatures up to 400°F, with tensile strength above 13,000 PSI, gauge tolerances from 0.0008" to 0.006", and widths up to 84 inches. It operates a vertically integrated production chain — from resin extrusion through conversion into bags, tubing, lay-flat, and V-fold formats — including Class 100 cleanroom capability.

The company sells six core product lines: vacuum bagging films for aerospace composite manufacturing, sterilization packaging for medical and dental devices, solvent recovery bags for industrial chemical containment, cleanroom anti-static packaging for electronics, modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) films for fresh produce and meat processing, and custom nylon/polyester/elastomer films. End markets include aerospace and defense (ballistic glass, cockpit transparencies, structural composites), medical device manufacturing (steam, dry heat, gamma, and EtO sterilization), food processing (FDA-compliant cook-in, vacuum, and retort packaging), electronics manufacturing (anti-static cleanroom), and industrial solvent recovery.

M&Q generates revenue through direct B2B sales of custom-engineered and standard films, with pricing set on a quote-based, application-specific basis rather than list pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led with technical consultation, sample evaluation, and qualification cycles, and there is no e-commerce or channel partner motion. The company maintains FDA 510(k) Class II medical device clearance, ISO 9001:2015, FSSC 22000, HALAL, KOF-K, NSF, and CFIA-ACIA certifications, supporting its positioning in regulated industrial end markets.
