What Packaging Products Does Meyers Manufacture?
Meyers manufactures folding cartons, pressure-sensitive labels, RFID packaging solutions, and printed electronics for consumer packaged goods (CPG) brands.
What Does a Structural Packaging Designer Do?
A structural packaging designer develops packaging solutions that balance functionality, manufacturability, sustainability, and retail presentation
How do Packaging Manufacturers Test Ink Durability?
Packaging manufacturers use quality control methods like Sutherland rub testing and tape adhesion testing to ensure printed inks properly adhere to packaging materials and can withstand shipping, handling, and retail environments.
How Packaging Manufacturers Match Your Brand Colors
Printers ensure color accuracy by using standardized color references like Pantone (PMS), LAB values, and approved physical samples. The most reliable method is creating a drawdown or color proof that the customer reviews and approves, establishing a clear target color before production begins.
How does a tuck-end carton run on a filling line?
Tuck-end cartons are designed to run efficiently on automated filling lines. They are delivered flat to save space, then fed into machinery where they are opened, filled with product, and sealed using top and bottom tuck flaps.
What is the Difference between RGB vs CMYK?
RGB (red, green, blue) is an additive color model used for digital screens like TVs, phones, and monitors, where colors combine to create white light. CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) is a subtractive color model used in printing, where inks combine to create darker colors, ultimately producing black.
How do brands keep packaging colors consistent across cartons and labels?
By using standardized color management and producing cartons and labels within the same manufacturing environment.
Meet Ryan Bennett RMS Production Supervisor
Ryan Bennett, Folding Carton Production Supervisor at Meyers, shares what a typical day looks like on the production floor and the key quality factors his team monitors to deliver high-quality folding cartons for CPG brands.
Paper vs Plastic Packaging: Which is more Sustainable?
Single-use plastic packaging often has a lower initial carbon footprint than paper folding cartons. However, paper-based packaging is typically easier to recycle and recover, which can reduce its overall environmental impact across the full lifecycle.
Meet Michael Dillon, CRO & Co-Owner of Meyers Printing
Meyers manufactures folding cartons, pressure-sensitive labels, and sustainable packaging, with a focus on long-term partnerships, responsible growth, and investing in people and innovation over short-term gains.
What is Low Migration Ink?
Low migration ink is a specialized UV-curable ink designed to prevent chemical migration from packaging into food and consumer products.
Meet Ashley Evenson, Fractional CMO at Meyers Printing
Ashley shares why shelf presence remains one of the most powerful forms of marketing for consumer products. The visual design, tactile experience, and structure of packaging all contribute to how a product captures attention and builds brand recognition.
What is the difference between 4 color process (CMYK) and spot color printing?
4 color process (CMYK) printing uses four inks, cyan, magenta, yellow, and black, to create a wide range of colors by blending dots at different sizes and frequencies. Spot color printing uses a single, pre-mixed ink designed to match a specific color exactly, making it ideal for brand colors that require precise consistency.
What is the Walmart RFID initiative?
The Walmart RFID initiative requires brands to embed RFID (radio frequency identification) tags at the item level on their packaging. This allows Walmart to track inventory in real time, improving stock accuracy, reducing out-of-stocks, and enabling customers to see if products are available in-store.
Meet Dallas Ingersoll, Sales Executive at Meyers Printing
Dallas Ingersoll, Sales Executive at Meyers, shares his experience in the packaging industry, what makes a project stand out, and why solving customer problems is at the core of great packaging partnerships.
Which Sustainability Goals Matter Most When Selecting Packaging Materials?
For many brands, the 3 most important goals are to reduce single-use plastic, prevent deforestation, and lower overall carbon emissions.
What Small Folding Carton Design Changes Can Reduce Packaging Costs at Scale?
Lowering material usage is one of the most effective ways to reduce packaging costs. By right-sizing panels and optimizing caliper, brands can decrease material spend while maintaining structural integrity and quality.
Meet Shawn Oetjen | Label Manufacturing Expertise for Scaling Brands
Director of Label Manufacturing Shawn Oetjen shares how technical precision drives color accuracy and solves complex structural labeling challenges for CPG brands. With over 20 years of experience, he explains how Meyers’ culture of energy and empathy helps the team deliver for national retailers.
What is Delta E?
Delta E is a measurement used to quantify color difference, showing how much one printed color varies from another using objective data instead of visual judgment.
What paperboard thickness is best for cosmetic boxes?
For most cosmetic packaging, 18-point paperboard is the ideal choice. It offers the right balance of strength, cost efficiency, and premium feel.
What is the environmental impact of sourcing paperboard from managed forests?
Responsibly managed, FSC-certified paperboard supports biodiversity, reduces chemical use, and more!
What is Sunrise 2027?
Sunrise 2027 is a GS1-led global industry shift where retailers plan to be ready to scan 2D barcodes by the end of 2027.
How do embellishments affect your packaging cost?
Premium finishes add extra materials and production steps, so they can raise the price. But when your packaging stands out on a crowded shelf, that impact is worth it.
What are regulatory trends impacting packaging?
EPR is one of the biggest because it shifts the cost and responsibility for packaging waste back to the brands.
How do folding carton prototypes work?
Cutting an autobottom white sample folding carton with our structural designer, Mike. This creates a prototype that looks, feels, and functions like diecut cartons.
How do you estimate and prioritize price breaks for high-volume CPG runs?
It comes down to understanding fixed costs like dies and make-readies and how they impact unit pricing.
What makes Meyers unique in the packaging industry?
We’re a third-generation, family-owned packaging manufacturer, which means we move quickly, make decisions efficiently, and stay closely connected to our customers.
How can brands communicate sustainability in a credible way?
Putting clear, specific sustainability info right on the package is one of the most powerful ways to reach shoppers in the moment.
What does G7 Certified Mean?

What’s the difference between a tuck-end carton and an auto bottom folding carton?
Both have their place. The best choice usually comes down to the equipment and packing process you use.

Packaging made with post-consumer recycled content proves that recycling works!
Comparison of 16 pt and 28 pt Folding Carton Material
The real goal is matching strength, sustainability, and efficiency so your packaging protects the product, looks great on the shelf, and avoids unnecessary material use.
What is a Press Check?
A press check is a quality control process. It’s your chance to approve packaging color on press in a controlled, light-fast setting before the full run.
