Packaging distributor SupplyOne adds digital printing to its packaging solutions offering with the acquisition of The BoxMaker.

Founded in 1981, The BoxMaker is a supplier of digitally printed custom corrugated boxes, retail displays and product labels. The company also offers brown box conversion, foam conversion, packaging supply distribution and fulfillment, primarily in the Pacific Northwest with operations in Washington, Oregon and Arkansas.

Since 2011, The BoxMaker has invested heavily in digital print and finishing technologies, including back-end order flow and an eCommerce platform.

“This focus on processes and equipment has made the company an experienced leader in digitally printed products and distribution, making it a trusted supplier to both small and large businesses looking to differentiate their brands with vibrant graphic packaging,” company officials said in a May 1 news release.

SupplyOne Adds Digital Production Hub

The BoxMaker will serve as the foundation for SupplyOne Digital, the company’s new hub for digital production, enabling SupplyOne to offer additional custom packaging solutions nationwide.

“Bringing The BoxMaker into SupplyOne expands our product offering to include high-quality, industry-leading digital printing solutions for our customers across the country as well as increases the scale of our operations in the Northwest,” said Todd Renehan, President and CEO of SupplyOne.

Dave Taylor, co-owner of The BoxMaker, said: “It was important that we found a partner who recognizes and honors the more than 40-year history of our company while presenting an opportunity for The BoxMaker to take that next step in its growth. With their interest in technology, focus on customer service and people-first mentality, we found that partner in SupplyOne. We look forward to bolstering their presence in the Pacific Northwest and enhancing their digital capabilities nationwide.”

This acquisition represents the 43rd addition to the SupplyOne portfolio since its founding in 1998, expanding the company’s strategic growth into digital product distribution through the founding of SupplyOne Digital.
