PAC National, Inc. started in Seattle, in 1975, as a broker of corrugated shipping containers for Airborne Express, but as the overnight courier industry grew, so did PAC. In the mid-90's, PAC began to manufacture its own products and serve not just the courier industry, but industrial and retail markets, as well. Today, PAC Worldwide has facilities in North America and Asia including a 350,000 square foot manufacturing and distributing facility in Middletown.
PAC is known for its quality products and services which include custom branded and stock mailers, industrial and retail bubble wrap, security bags, folding cartons, automated bags, fulfillment services, and automated packaging systems for high speed applications. Their products are also environmentally friendly. PAC offers low profile bubble mailers and flat, poly mailers which reduce packaging waste and can be recycled along with your plastic grocery bags. PAC's paperboard mailers are made from 100% recycled paper and are also recyclable.
As of March 2009, PAC's Middletown facility has brought nearly 200 jobs to the area, and the company plans to continue to expand. PAC Worldwide in Middletown was built in 2008 and is located at 3131 Cincinnati Dayton Road.
