Sustainability

At CJK, sustainability is at the forefront of all we do. Our products are designed with the environment in mind and use recycled materials whenever possible.

Unlike paper, which can only be recycled 2-3 times before it loses fiber strength, polymer packaging can be ground, reintroduced, and reformed indefinitely. This means that every product we create is made from materials that could go on to become new products—and this keeps them out of landfills!

All of our FDA and retail packaging products are made with recycled grade polymer materials in well over 90% of our products. All processing waste is sorted, ground, and returned to polymer processors that reintroduce 100% into reusable products.

Our Commitment to Quality & Value

At CJK Packaging, we believe that the best way to create value for our clients is to create value for ourselves. We are committed to continuous improvement in all aspects of our operations, from the products and services we offer to how we run our business.
Our dedicated staff of thermoforming and package engineering experts utilizes the latest CAD solid modeling technologies to create innovative solutions for our clients’ problems. We also use these state-of-the-art technologies to develop products that exceed your expectations.

In addition to taking advantage of our extensive expertise, we provide complete project management from initial part design through prototype development and on-time delivery of finished products.

We understand how important it is for you to streamline your production processes and reduce costs by reducing waste or increasing efficiency. That’s why we specialize in custom products designed specifically for your needs and stock products where the custom is unnecessary.

We can manufacture low or large volumes: from 10 pieces to millions per year. And if you need inventory management or Just-in-Time (JIT) programs, we can help with those too!
