Our story

Packaging people, not just a packaging company

Proper Pack started on the canning line — watching small breweries fight with rigid plastic rings their customers couldn't recycle and their crews couldn't apply at speed. So we built the alternative we wanted to use.

Where we started

Built from a real problem on the line

We kept seeing the same thing: breweries proud of their beer, stuck with packaging that worked against them. Rigid plastic rings that customers couldn't recycle, that crews wrestled onto cans, and that quietly undercut every sustainability claim on the label.

So we set out to make the carrier we wished existed — genuinely recyclable paperboard, fully printable with your brand, and engineered to run fast in the environments breweries actually pack in.

Every carrier is printed and die-cut in the USA. No overseas freight, no surprises between the proof and the pallet — just packaging built by people who understand the line.

What we stand for

Three things we won't compromise on

Recyclable, honestly

We build in a single paperboard material and describe recyclability the way it really works — curbside recyclable where paperboard is accepted, no overclaiming.

Made to run

Packaging is only sustainable if it ships. Every carrier is designed to apply fast and hold up through transit and the retail shelf.

In your corner

From your first samples to your first production run, we prep print-ready files and help you spec the right format and applicator for your line.

What our partners are saying

Trusted by breweries across the country

“The applicator is easy to use, the loading tray is slick, and the carriers apply with considerably less force than what we've used before.”
Head BrewerSouth Dakota Brewery
“I gotta say, once you get a feel for the applicator, the carriers go on so smooth. I've been able to turn over cases faster than the cans can be packed into the tray.”
Head BrewerNorth Carolina Cannery
“The new carriers work well and the branded design looks great!”
