Dave Dennison of Transparent Packaging and Dave Heller of Printex Packaging have announced the merger of their respective companies. They say their new company, which is called Printex Transparent Packaging, is now the largest plastic box manufacturer in North America. Plastic folding cartons will be produced in its three design centers and two manufacturing plants in the U.S. and Canada.
 
According to Printex, domestic plastic packaging is now competing aggressively with producers overseas. More and more companies such as Wal-Mart are choosing to re-shore production of their goods as manufacturing has become more feasible and affordable in North America.  This merger works to keep valuable packaging jobs in Canada and the U.S. while offering producers of consumer products consistent quality and faster turnaround times.  The owners say their newly combined company is now uniquely positioned to supply the industry and bring even greater value to packaging on-shore.
