Welcome to PackagingCraft – Your Canadian Partner in Sustainable Packaging
At PackagingCraft, we combine innovative design with eco‑friendly materials to deliver packaging solutions that protect your products—and the planet. Serving clients from Toronto to Vancouver, our mission is to craft custom boxes, mailers, and inserts that reduce waste, enhance brand presentation, and meet the highest environmental standards. Whether you’re a small artisan or a large e‑commerce retailer, our end‑to‑end service ensures your packaging is as reliable and responsible as your products.
About Us – Engineering Circular Solutions in Canada
Founded in 2017 by materials engineer Laura McKnight and supply‑chain specialist David Chen, PackagingCraft began as a small Toronto workshop repurposing post‑consumer paper. Today, we operate two ISO 9001/14001‑certified facilities in Ontario and British Columbia, with dedicated R&D labs exploring compostable films, recycled corrugates, and plant‑based inks. Our multidisciplinary team of packaging engineers, sustainability analysts, and graphic designers collaborates to optimize structural integrity, visual impact, and end‑of‑life recovery for every project. We partner with local recyclers and composting operations to close the loop on materials, ensuring that scrap from our production lines is reintegrated into new packaging streams. At PackagingCraft, innovation and environmental stewardship guide every decision, from raw material sourcing through final delivery.
Our Services
Custom Structural Design & Prototyping
We leverage CAD simulations and 3D printing to create prototypes that balance strength, material efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. Our engineers run drop‑tests, compression analyses, and moisture‑exposure trials to ensure your packaging withstands real‑world handling. You receive digital mock‑ups and physical samples within ten business days, expediting approvals and time‑to‑market. Collaborative design sessions align structural requirements with your brand’s visual identity and sustainability goals. Every prototype is rigorously tested before moving into full production.
Corrugated & Rigid Box Production
From small runs of 500 units to bulk orders over 100,000, our corrugators and die‑cutters handle single‑, double‑, and triple‑wall boards. We offer kraft, white‑top, and moisture‑resistant liners—all FSC‑certified and 100% recyclable. Automated flexographic printing in up to six colors delivers crisp graphics using soy‑based inks. Inline inspection systems detect dimensional and print defects in real time, guaranteeing consistency across large batches. Whether you require retail‑ready cartons or heavy‑duty shipping cases, we customize thickness, flute profile, and reinforcement to match your product needs.
Flexible Packaging & Barrier Films
Our stand‑up pouches, zipper bags, and vacuum pouches utilize compostable PLA/PHA laminates laminated with waterborne adhesives for oxygen and moisture protection. We tailor barrier layers to extend shelf life for snacks, coffee, and pet food, while maintaining home‑compostable credentials per EN 13432. Customizable closures, tear‑notches, and degassing valves enhance user convenience. All materials meet Canadian food‑contact regulations (CFIA) and FSSC 22000 standards. This blend of performance and sustainability sets your brand apart.
Molded Fiber & Protective Inserts
Replace foam packaging with molded pulp inserts made from bagasse, wheat‑straw fiber, or recycled newsprint. Our thermoforming lines produce protective trays, clamshells, and cushioning that cradle delicate electronics, glassware, and botanical products. We also offer proprietary mycelium insulation blocks that outperform traditional foams in thermal resistance and biodegradability. Both options are home‑compostable and free from harmful chemicals. Tailored molds ensure a snug fit, reducing product movement and damage during transit.
Kitting, Fulfillment & Inventory Management
Streamline your operations with our integrated pick‑and‑pack, subscription‑box assembly, and vendor‑managed inventory programs. Real‑time barcode scanning and cloud‑based dashboards keep stock levels accurate and minimize overstock. Just‑in‑time delivery synchronizes packaging supply with your production schedule, reducing on‑site storage costs. Dedicated account managers provide weekly performance reports, helping you anticipate seasonal demand and plan promotional campaigns. Our turnkey logistics support frees you to focus on product development and sales.
Life‑Cycle Analysis & Sustainability Consulting
Our in‑house sustainability team conducts cradle‑to‑grave carbon and water‑footprint assessments to identify high‑impact materials and processes. We develop material‑substitution roadmaps that transition you from virgin plastics to recycled or bio‑based alternatives. Take‑back and closed‑loop programs reintegrate used packaging into new production cycles, cutting raw‑material consumption. Interactive workshops train your procurement and design teams in circular‑economy principles. Compliance guidance covers Canadian Environmental Protection Act requirements and upcoming EU eco‑design standards.
