Packaging Personified Revenue and Competitors

Two people sitting at a kitchen table with an idea for a company. A company born from their combined 30 years of experience and knowledge of the flexible packaging business. Both had worked together at Sears where they were responsible for the coordination and procurement of flexible packaging for third party use. Both had been exposed to the many uses of flexible packaging and its growing importance in the world of packaging. It was 1975 when these two people - Dominic Imburgia, President and Phyllis Muccianti, Vice President - founded Packaging Personified, Inc. and became entrepreneurs and believers in a product that was going through its own birth pains … flexible packaging. They began their sales operation at that kitchen table but within four months rented space for a business that was beginning to grow. Two years later, they began manufacturing the product they were selling. Leasing larger space, purchasing four bag converters and hiring a small production staff, they began running their first production lines. But, they were converters still buying raw materials from film extruders and printing from flexible printers. They wanted to do it all, to be in control of delivering quality product. And so, a printing press, more bag converters and more printers were purchased. In the 80's, they had outgrown their leased space. Now their "kitchen table" dream became a reality. A reality that needed a building of its own. A complete manufacturing facility with its own extruders, converters, design department and printing operation. Today, they continue to expand their operation. They have created job opportunities for over 150 people in four states, are operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The dream is a reality but the growth continues nationwide because of their determination to maintain a sound customer base, to deliver a custom top-quality product at a reasonable price. More than twenty years have passed but the dream continues in their families and into the new century. A dream that had a strong foundation when it started on a kitchen table.
