Custom Packaging
in Long Beach
Long Beach is home to one of the busiest container ports in the US, side by side with the Port of Los Angeles, so many Long Beach businesses import, distribute and re-pack goods. The city also has an aerospace and manufacturing heritage and a busy waterfront restaurant and tourism scene.

Packaging for Long Beach businesses
That mix means two kinds of packaging: tough corrugated and inserts for goods moving through distribution, and branded food, gift and retail packaging for the city's consumer businesses, all under California's packaging rules.
Long Beach's waterfront, aquarium and harbour cruises bring steady tourist traffic, and its neighbourhoods have a strong independent retail and restaurant scene. Those businesses need branded bags, gift boxes and takeout packaging alongside the industrial cartons that move through the port.
Import, distribution and logistics
Importers and distributors need corrugated shipping boxes, re-pack cartons and wholesale boxes.
Aerospace and manufacturing
Parts suppliers need sturdy boxes with fitted inserts that protect components in transit.
Restaurants and tourism
Waterfront restaurants and gift shops need PFAS-free takeout packaging and souvenir gift boxes.
Packaging rules to know in Long Beach
California SB 54 packaging law
SB 54 requires all single-use packaging and plastic foodware sold in California to be recyclable or compostable by 2032, with producer responsibility fees from 2027. Plastic windows, films and laminations are the parts of a paper box most worth reviewing.

Tips for Long Beach orders
- If you re-pack imported goods, a printed outer carton with your brand turns a generic shipment into a branded one.
- Specify board strength by packed weight and stacking height for distribution.
- For food service, use PFAS-free paperboard and avoid foam.
