About Compak/Webcor/CW South

Overview

Compak Incorporated was established in 1969 by William E. Martin and John D. Goggins. In 1981, Webcor Packaging was established as a twin operation. CW South was opened in 2001 in Memphis, Tennessee. All three facilities are similarly equipped and use a one-of-a-kind patented manufacturing process unique to the corrugated industry.

We focus on:

  • Flexible personalized solutions customized to meet your needs

  • Containing costs while adding extraordinary value
  • Providing rapid prototyping, fast turn around, and just in time delivery
  • Recoverable, recyclable, and environmentally friendly products

Sustainability

Sheets

At Compak/Webcor/CW South we recognize that a commitment to going green means more than energy efficiency or reducing our carbon footprint. It means reducing the cost of doing business by making energy management, sustainable development and a healthy work environment a critical part of our business plan. We are committed to a sustainable future and to improving the social, environmental and economic well being of the communities we serve.

Compak/Webcor/CW South strive to be an environmental role model. That is why we manufacture preprinted and litho-laminated micro-flute cartons. Micro-flute materials provide the strength and stack ability of a corrugated package with the high quality graphics of typical folding cartons.

Product boxes manufactured from micro-flute materials stack better, protect well and merchandize well.  This results in:

  • Resource reduction
  • Eliminating master shipper and/or interior packaging
  • Less ordering and inventories
  • Less shipping and handling damage: Equal to or less than current total package costs in many cases
