Packaging for Baltimore businesses
Maryland was the first state to ban expanded polystyrene food service products statewide (from July 2020), and Baltimore City bans plastic checkout bags with a 5-cent fee on paper and other bags.
Baltimore's crab houses and Old Bay-style seasoning culture are central to its identity, and its Inner Harbor and stadiums draw visitors year-round. Local food brands ship seasoning, crab cakes and gift sets nationally, which calls for gift boxes and insulated shipping boxes.
Seafood and food
Seafood restaurants and seasoning brands need foam-free takeout packaging, gift boxes and food cartons.
Healthcare and research
Hospitals and research labs need medicine boxes, kit boxes and inserts.
Port and distribution
Importers and distributors need corrugated cartons and wholesale boxes.
