Preferred Plastics & Packaging: A Legacy Built on Trust Since 1983

Since our humble beginnings in 1983 when our founder Randy Swickle began selling stretch film from the trunk of his car, we’ve built something truly exceptional—a nationwide packaging distribution network founded on trust, integrity, and genuine customer relationships.

A Team That Stands the Test of Time

The true measure of any organization lies in its people. At Preferred Plastics & Packaging, our team of closely knit, exceptional sales, service, and logistics professionals brings decades of experience to any relationship.

What makes our culture special? Our owners work alongside our team members every day, demonstrating that no challenge is faced alone and no detail is too small to warrant attention. This hands-on leadership approach creates an atmosphere of mutual respect, shared purpose, and collective achievement that directly translates to how we serve our customers.

When you call us with an urgent packaging challenge, you’re speaking with professionals who have spent decades solving similar problems. The expertise that comes from this depth of experience is unmatched in the industry.

Relationships That Transcend Transactions

For us, business has always been personal. Over our four decades in operation, we’ve grown from a small local distributor to one of the largest wholesale packaging suppliers in the United States not by pursuing short-term gains, but by building enduring partnerships with our customers.

Our approach is refreshingly straightforward:

• We maintain high levels of inventory across eight warehouse locations nationwide so you never have to wait.
• We deliver on our promises with the same reliability today as we did forty years ago.
• We bring precision, proactive problem-solving, and humble service to every customer interaction.
• We adapt with flexibility to meet your evolving needs, not the other way around.

Building on Our Foundation While Looking Forward

As we continue to grow and evolve, our fundamental values remain constant. The same principles that guided us in the beginning now inform how we operate our coast-to-coast distribution network:

• Dependability: When we say a shipment will arrive, it will arrive—on time, handled with care, and delivered safely.
• Expertise: Our team doesn’t just sell packaging products; we provide solutions based on decades of practical knowledge.
• Relationships: We measure success not just in transactions but in the strength and longevity of our customer partnerships.
• Integrity: We do what’s right, even when it’s not the easiest path.

Your Partner for the Road Ahead

From stretch film solutions to comprehensive packaging systems, Preferred Plastics & Packaging stands ready to serve your business with the same dedication and reliability that has defined us for over four decades. With our national footprint and millions in inventory ready to ship, we combine the resources of a major distributor with the personal touch of a family business.

To our valued customers, loyal team members, and trusted vendor partners—thank you for being part of our remarkable journey. As we look to the future, we remain as committed as ever to earning your trust with every interaction, every delivery, and every solution we provide.
