What Berlin Packaging does

Berlin Packaging is a privately held hybrid packaging supplier headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, operating across 15+ countries in North America, Europe, China, and South Africa. The company combines an extensive stock catalog of more than 50,000 packaging components (bottles, jars, jugs, vials, cans, tubs, tubes, caps, closures, and specialty containers) with custom design, global sourcing, and supply chain services, supported by a network of over 1,700 global manufacturing partners. Specialized divisions include Qorpak for laboratory and scientific packaging and a Dangerous Goods division for hazardous and temperature-controlled materials, complemented by the acquired Andler Packaging Group brand and the Studio One Eleven in-house design center.

The company serves at least ten vertical segments, with pharmaceutical/nutraceutical/healthcare, beverage/spirits, food, and personal care/cosmetics as primary verticals, and automotive/industrial chemicals, cannabis/CBD, home care, wine, beer, and pet care/veterinary as secondary verticals. Go-to-market combines direct field sales for enterprise custom projects (using a "Request a Packaging Consultation" model), inside sales for mid-market accounts, and an e-commerce storefront for SMB and self-serve buyers, with free shipping on online orders over $300.

Revenue is generated through four streams: one-time packaging component sales (stock and custom), professional design services via Studio One Eleven, managed sourcing and supply chain services (manufacturing partner management, quality compliance, customs, logistics), and warehousing and inventory management. Pricing is quote-based for custom services and unit-based for stock components. No public revenue, funding, or headcount figures are disclosed in the input data.
