The art and science of packaging
Packaging: art and scienceSuccessful packaging takes more than technical know-how. It takes art as well.
Partner with us and you’ll gain access to the latest developments in packaging science – design, engineering, production and more.
Even more important, you’ll benefit from our creativity – our expertise as problem solvers and our proven ability to meet new challenges with surprising innovation.
At Jamestown Container Companies, we unite art and science into the ideal formula for your success.
Perfecting the art
Consider us your partnersThink about all of the suppliers you deal with. Without a doubt, your most productive relationships are
with companies that invest the time to learn the ins and outs of your business. Understanding your
particular needs enables us to meet your specific challenges and solve your unique problems. It’s a real
partnership that benefits both of us. That’s the commitment we make to you.

Independence makes a differenceFounded in 1956, Jamestown Container continues to expand. Yet our
company remains family-owned. Independence gives us the agility to
make decisions quickly. With no bureaucratic layers to get in the way,
we have the freedom to explore fresh ideas and the authority to assemble
just the right team for your project. And with the flexibility to ensure fast
turnaround, we help you deliver products to the marketplace sooner.
Expertise inspires innovationOver 50+ years, we’ve gained the experience to achieve success in any
business environment. We have the know-how to get your products
through the distribution chain efficiently, cost-effectively and without
damage. We have the knowledge and talent to design packaging that
commands consumer attention while accommodating the demands of
retailers. Whatever your needs, you can depend on our expertise to handle
them, with solutions that range from time-honored to groundbreaking.
Packaging is a processTo be successful, packaging must provide outstanding performance
at every stage. Jamestown’s expertise extends beyond the containers
themselves. Like all of our customers, you’ll benefit from smart, innovative
thinking that encompasses the entire process of design and delivery. We’ll
be your consultants on everything it takes to move your product from
manufacturing through packaging and shipping to final destination.

Plates are always full at Holli-Pac, a frozen fruit and vegetable processor whose lean operation means every- one has a lot to handle. With us taking care of packaging inventory, managers can attend to more important tasks. Our EVMI system monitors usage and replenishes supplies automatically. “We get great service,” says Tim Towne, president. “Jamestown never lets us run out of containers. Now we spend less time on boxes and more time running the business.”
Advancing the science
We keep you ahead of the curveThe demands of business and the expectations of consumers are undergoing rapid and dramatic change.
Priorities are evolving as well. At Jamestown, we are constantly streamlining processes and evaluating
systems and materials. Everyone on our team is focused not only on increasing efficiency and reducing
costs, but also on improving environmental sustainability. Everything is aimed at keeping you in the
forefront and boosting your bottom line.
innovation
We design - and test - innovationCustomers are consistently impressed with our designers, who employ the
latest CAD technology to engineer inventive structural solutions for a multi-
tude of challenges. Testing in our ISTA certified lab confirms that packages
will withstand all kinds of punishment. Our capabilities include sampling;
atmospheric conditioning; edge, ring and flat crush; pin adhesion; Cobb;
basis weight; Mullen; caliper; and moisture testing. In addition, we can
perform vibration, incline/impact, drop and compression testing on most
products, as well as UN or DOT hazardous material package testing.
Production quality enhances your successSignificant investment and continual upgrades keep Jamestown at the cutting
edge. As a result of our ongoing commitment, we offer world-class equip-
ment and advanced systems that perform to the most rigorous standards.
ISO certification provides evidence of our strict adherence to sound proce-
dures. It all means you can be assured of impeccable quality and consistency.
Ingenious technologies add valueInventory management is an integral part of the packaging process. Our
sophisticated systems help our customers realize impressive savings in time,
labor and warehouse space. Powered by our exclusive Replenishment Plus
(R+) software, our proprietary Electronic Vendor Management Inventory
(EVMI) system lets you control ordering and production online, so that
deliveries arrive exactly when you need them. Trucking Optimization
Software (TOPS) enables additional cost-effectiveness strategies.

Mantua Manufacturing supplies beds and frames for hospitality and consumer markets. Its large volume shipping cartons take up a lot of space – too much, in fact. So we developed a new replenishment strategy. Using daily deliveries, we’ve reduced inventory and opened up space in the plant. To Gary Klausner, purchasing manager, it’s solutions like this – along with outstanding service and superior knowledge of the corrugated business – that set Jamestown apart.
We’re everywhere you need us ...
Covering the globeWherever you and your customers are, Jamestown is there as well, thanks to the Packaging Alliance

Impulse sales are critical for Whirley Drink Works’ insulated mugs. But floor space in truck stops and convenience stores was going to competitors with lower-priced displays. We love design challenges like that. The result? “Great job!” says Ron Wagner, senior buyer. “Our new foldable A-frame floor display is simple to assemble and load, and gets us in the door at a competitive price. Its fresh look attracts customers’ attention, helps sell our products and keeps us on the store floor.”
