About Maco PKG

The Four Areas of Our Facility

As contract and flexible packaging experts and innovators, there aren’t too many specifications or requests that we can’t fulfill. Maco PKG focuses on four distinct areas of packaging, and continues to make innovations in each of those areas.

We handle liquid co-packaging and dry co-packaging in separate areas of our facility. Our areas for co-packaging enable us to handle any size order and meet any specifications asked of us. We can manufacture plastic, foil, or materialized pouches and bags and customize them for design, logos, and ease of use. Our co-packaging capabilities allow for water-proof, spill proof, and easy food and snack transport.

We are a flexible converter with plenty of warehouse space to meet any of our client’s needs. There are 30 areas alone that meet the flexible packaging orders we process. We can fill on site and meet nearly any design request.

Any company looking for specific packaging needs or would like to explore just what their options may be should really check out the efficiency and innovation behind the Maco PKG facility. With a long tradition of being cutting edge and having a sensible layout and design, Maco PKG is the only packaging source you may need for your product line.

Our Current Facility

                                  

Maco PKG has maintained consistent growth over the decades. It has introduced flexible packaging innovations and options that were unheard of when the company began in the 1930s. Because of the growth, demand, and push to increase customization and innovation, Maco PKG has always needed a facility that welcomes growth and expansion.

The current facility just north of the Erie Canal is an expansive 240,000 square feet location. The size and different niche areas make Maco PKG a leader in the industry because we can consolidate all of our capabilities under one roof. We can also fill packaging on site so companies can get the full scope of our services and capabilities. We are also able to handle Kosher and organic packaging needs for clients who need those specifications.

As it currently stands, one third of the facility operates for contract packaging businesses. Two thirds make up our flexible packaging lines.

From complex and tiny medical pouches - to heat sealed military spec pouches - to bags and bottles of all sizes and with custom specifications, we are able to accommodate virtually any company’s needs.

The Beginning and Growth of a True Innovator

Maco PKG has been an industry leader and innovator since it began in the 1930s. Stuart McDonald started the business as an advertising agency. Once World War 2 began, he switched over to packaging for the United States Military.

Once the business really began to make ground and change the world of packaging, Scott Miller (McDonald’s son-in-law) worked to take it to the next level. Scott Miller then handed down the majority of the business to his two sons, Mike and Craig. In other words, Maco PKG has been passed down through three generations of the same family - which has helped to to maintain its unity and direction.

Today, the two brothers each own one third of Maco PKG. However, the employees also own one third, giving them all a direct vested interest in the success of the business. Today, there are 175 people who run the facility and make Maco PKG a leader in various packaging methods and innovations. The facility runs on two 10 hour shifts.

From extremely small medical packaging, to large tractor trailer cover materials, Maco PKG handles a wide variety of packaging orders and request for most nationally known companies, including the military.

The flexible packaging and innovative technologies that make packaging a customized option for today’s companies all combine to make Maco PKG an industry leader and innovator that is sure to continue taking packaging to the next level.
