About Us

History

Polypak first opened in Vancouver in 1976 in a small office on Hastings and Cambie. Although we weren’t the only packaging company in Vancouver, we were the first to focus on quality custom packaging for retail companies. Within a short time, we established ourselves as one of the major packaging companies in Western Canada. Some of our customers included retail giants such as Woodward’s, Eaton’s, Superstore and IKEA.

Since retail companies needed more than just poly bags, we expanded our product range to include paper bags, reusable bags, boxes, tins, tissue, ribbon, labels and gift wrap. We also created new products such as ski coveralls, poly auto insurance pouches and dental lab ziplock bags with a separate pocket for prescriptions.

Present

With many years of experience, we have become experts in our field. Our objective is to understand the expectations of our customers so we can advise the best options. We look at all aspects of packaging including utility, design, budget, brand image, environmental impact and structural integrity. We work with manufacturers very closely so we look at packaging from a production and a design perspective.

When you talk to a representative, you are speaking to someone who is extremely knowledgeable and can advise you about packaging that will meet your needs and fit your budget. No matter big or small, we will service your company with care and attention.

Our Environment

Before our environment became a global concern, we were already reusing and recycling. We reused office and warehouse supplies before we recycled or disposed of it. To this day, we continue to do our best to reduce our waste and to recycle responsibly.

After doing our research, we chose to offer products to reduce the impact on the environment such as oxo-biodegradable plastic, reusable bags and many different paper products. Each has its strengths and weaknesses depending on the usage and how it is disposed. Please ask us for the best option.
