Let’s Build a Great Package Together
Every now and again we like to craft and release videos to show what Portco is all about and to punctuate what we can do for your brand and product line. This latest video features Portco’s President and CEO, Kent Wall, the 3rd generation leader of the company that was started by his grandfather almost 90 years ago. Kent talks about what is at the core of the company, how innovative and responsive it can and has to be in this continually changing world. Let’s start a conversation.
Packaging with Peace of Mind
We are a 3rd generation family run company. We strive to make the highest quality, safest packaging in the most responsible way – for brands, we’re really passionate about. We have a wide range of fiercely loyal clients because we stand behind every package we sell. One of the first west coast packaging companies to earn the highest level of SQF, the highest rating for food safety in our industry. We make multi-wall bags, stand-up pouches, and printed roll stock. We view our packaging as another ingredient – protecting your fresh, frozen, dry, and wet goods with the same standards of food safety as you do.
Our plants are located on each side of Mt. Adams in the state of Washington. Our packaging appears on store aisles from Milwaukie to Melbourne.
Associations and Certifications
As we strive to maintain the highest level of safety and compliance in the flexible packaging industry, we are active members in several associations and the recipient of several important certifications that ensure safety and quality. Click here to explore.
Sustainability Options
When it comes to packaging, consumers continue to demand more sustainable options and regulations continue to change. This trend will continue to influence buying decisions when choosing a product on the store shelf or e-commerce space. To address these demands and support your brand, Portco Packaging™ has developed the EarthGuard™ line of options to address your company’s individual needs regarding sustainability. The EarthGuard™ line offers PCR Solutions, Recycle Ready, Compostable, and Bio-assimilated options. Explore EarthGuard here.
What does a packaging mistake cost?
A mistake or contamination in our industry costs way more than just a reprint of packaging – in ingredients, processing, time, delivery delays and retailer confidence. One broken link in the food chain affects all others. So it was an easy decision to obtain the highest level of certification a food packaging can achieve with SQF. That’s peace of mind with your product and reputation on the line. It also reflects something else: we sweat the details. There’s a reason we’ve studied all pages of the SQF Food Safety Code for Manufacturing of Food Packaging and the SQF Quality Code…so you don’t have to.
SQF is recognized by retailers and food service providers around the world who require a rigorous, credible food safety management system.
