About
A packaging supplier that quotes in days, not weeks.
Apex Packaging Solutions is a Canadian manufacturer of custom corrugated boxes, polybags, and protective packaging — built specifically for procurement teams who are tired of overseas lead times, oversized MOQs, and suppliers who don't return calls.
What Apex actually does
- Manufactures custom corrugated boxes (RSC, FOL, die-cut, mailers, telescoping) in single-wall and double-wall configurations.
- Extrudes and converts LDPE, HDPE, and PCR-content polybag film, including anti-static, food-safe, and compostable grades.
- Supplies bulk packaging (Gaylord boxes, stretch and shrink film, edge protectors) to plants on blanket POs.
- Builds protective packaging stacks (custom foam inserts, void fill, VCI) specified to ISTA drop-test classes.
- Provides in-house structural design — dieline plus 3D mockup in 48–72 hours.
What Apex won't do
- International shipping — Apex ships within Canada. US customers are referred to our cross-border partner.
- Glass, metal, or rigid plastic containers — Apex is corrugated and flexible-film only.
- Stock-and-ship with no customization — Apex's value is custom production. For pure stock distribution, larger national distributors are a better fit.
Naming what we don't do is faster than the buyer figuring it out mid-quote.
Capabilities
- Corrugated converting — flexo, digital, and litho-laminated print. Die-cutting, scoring, slotting, gluing.
- Polybag extrusion and conversion — single and multi-layer film, blown and cast lines, 1.0 mil through 6.0 mil.
- In-house structural design — CAD-based dieline drawing, drop-test specification, ISTA pre-test.
- Quality systems — ISO 9001, FSC chain-of-custody, SQF on food-contact lines.
What sets Apex apart from larger Canadian suppliers
- Lead time: 7–14 days from artwork sign-off. Most competitors quote 4–6 weeks.
- MOQ: 100 units on stock corrugated, 250 on custom-printed flexo, 500 on custom polybags. Most competitors start at 1,000–5,000.
- Design support: included with orders over MOQ, not invoiced separately.
- Sustainability documentation: FSC numbers, PCR percentages, ink composition, EN 13432 certs — provided as part of the standard delivery package, not on request only.
