Meyers | Sustainable Packaging & Label Manufacturer

Meyers occupies a specific niche in the sustainable packaging landscape: a long-established, family-owned manufacturer that has built its environmental credibility around operational metrics rather than only material claims. Its move to 100% carbon-free electricity in 2021, combined with a stated net zero position across Scopes 1 and 2, gives it a more concrete sustainability footing than many peers who rely primarily on recycled content messaging.

The company’s relevance to procurement and sustainability teams comes from its dual positioning. It serves large, well-known consumer brands at scale while maintaining smaller custom orders for emerging companies, a flexibility not always available among larger packaging conglomerates. Its recent acquisitions of Johnson Printing and Packaging Corporation and Mankato Packaging suggest a consolidation strategy focused specifically on folding carton capacity.

A notable limitation is that Meyers’ net zero definition, by its own disclosure, covers only Scopes 1 and 2 and does not yet address Scope 3 emissions, which include the broader supply chain and product lifecycle impact. Buyers seeking full lifecycle carbon accounting from a packaging partner would need to request this separately. Overall, Meyers represents a credible, mid-market sustainable packaging manufacturer with verifiable operational commitments, though its public disclosures remain more operationally focused than data-rich compared to larger, publicly reporting peers.
