We’re only months away from completing the 125,000-square-foot expansion of our co-packing facility in Milford, PA! This new space will give us even more room to support high-volume food packaging projects for our clients.

In this episode of the Econo-Pak Podcast, Director of Procurement Tim joins Sarah to talk through how procurement supports scalable, efficient co-packing solutions.

In this conversation, Jared Ellsworth, Maintenance Manager at Econo-Pak, shares how our facility stays ahead by using versatile machinery, smart automation, and efficient changeovers to support high-volume food brands.

Econo-Pak recently invested in new bagging and cartoning machines—designed to streamline the packaging process for dry food products like rice, baking mixes, powders, and more in a bag-in-box format.

Supply chains have become increasingly complex. Food brands must stay ahead of shifting regulations, evolving import strategies, and airline-specific requirements. With Econo-Pak, they can.

Consider this: the global contract packaging market is projected to reach $102 billion by 2028, growing at a 7% CAGR, as more companies lean on experts to streamline operations and reduce costs.

For food brands selected to supply airline snack programs, partnering with a co-packer that meets airline standards is critical. That’s why Econo-Pak is regularly audited and approved by all major U.S. airlines.

Choosing the right packaging equipment can make or break a food brand’s success. At Econo-Pak, we offer both universal and dedicated equipment, giving brands the flexibility to test different formats before scaling up.

Co-packing plays a pivotal role in the food industry, especially for brands focused on organic and non-GMO products. According to the Organic Trade Association, sales of organic food in the U.S. grew by 12.4% in 2020, reaching a record $62 billion, while demand for non-GMO products continues to rise as consumers prioritize transparency and health (Organic Trade Association, 2021).
