Polymer Packaging

For more than half a century, Polymer Packaging has been right there in the mix with America’s bakers. Founded as a family business in 1986, the company has grown alongside its clients, building relationships that now span generations. Some bakery partners have worked with Polymer Packaging for more than 35 years — adapting together through evolving ingredients, emerging trends, and even creative firsts.

Partnering for Smarter Solutions

Supporting these long-standing partnerships, Polymer Packaging provides manufacturing solutions that include converting and distributing flexible, protective, and food-safe packaging. To better serve its clients, the company has evolved into a full-service partner specializing in bakery bags for all types of baked goods — offering both printed and unprinted options, as well as wicketed bags for loaves, buns, bagels, muffins, and more.

Expanding its reach beyond in-house manufacturing, Polymer Packaging partners with more than 50 strategic suppliers across the packaging industry — giving bakers access to the best materials, technologies, and converting options available today. Our portfolio spans low- to high-volume bags, multiple gusset styles, and square-bottom formats, as well as specialized films for every scale of operation.

Most recently, we’ve added two major capabilities: short-run, high-quality digital printing — ideal for samples, prototypes, or production runs — with no plate costs and turnaround from artwork to finished bags in as little as two weeks; and advanced extended-shelf-life bag technology that can deliver 7–10 additional days of freshness. Together, these innovations help bakeries reduce waste, accelerate product testing, and bring better-quality baked goods to market with greater confidence.

“Our mission is to help bakers get packaging right,” says Dan Wish, President of Polymer Packaging. “We share what we’ve learned and offer advice that’s practical and honest. At the end of the day, it’s about helping people work smarter.”

Effective Packaging to Boost Sales

In a competitive marketplace, packaging is more than a wrapper —it’s a silent salesperson. It creates the first impression that makes a shopper stop, look, and decide to take that loaf home. Polymer Packaging helps bakers strike the perfect balance between functionality and shelf appeal, combining high-quality materials with real-world insight into what drives consumer choice.

Recognizing the pressures faced by medium- and small-sized bakeries, especially during market slowdowns, the company offers tailored production flexibility. By reducing quantities per SKU while expanding the number of product varieties, Polymer Packaging helps bakers reach wider audiences — and enables larger brands to capture mid-market opportunities as boutique operations grow.

Delivering Precision and Efficiency

Beyond materials, Polymer Packaging is known for its partnership mindset. When one large bakery struggled with productivity, capital expenses, and limited space, Polymer Packaging stepped in to reimagine the process. The challenge: managing packaging inventory efficiently while maintaining production flow.

By optimizing delivery schedules and aligning packaging supply with production, Polymer Packaging helped reduce storage strain, shipping costs, and wasted time — ultimately improving productivity and profitability. It is a tangible example of how thoughtful packaging strategy can drive real operational gains.

Committed to Quality and Value

Over the years, Polymer Packaging has continued to grow alongside its customers, providing fast, effective solutions for even the most demanding applications. From customized specialty flexible packaging to commodity packaging such as stretch film and carton-sealing tape, the company’s focus on high quality, cost efficiency, and customer satisfaction remains unchanged.

As a leading manufacturer, converter, and full-service packaging solutions provider, Polymer Packaging continues to set the standard for flexible packaging innovation — helping bakers nationwide operate smarter, leaner, and with confidence.

“Our mission is to help bakeries thrive by delivering packaging solutions that reduce costs, enhance performance, and are backed by decades of proven expertise,” says, Dan Wish, President, Polymer Packaging.
