Ingersoll Paper Box│Since 1922

Welcome

Ingersoll Paper Box began in 1922 as Ingersoll One and Paper Box and has remained in our family for over four generations and ninety years. Until the early 1930s, we made ice cream cones and paper boxes to contain them. People have told us that during the depression, our company handed out the broken cones to the people within the community; it was a real treat when money, food, and jobs were scarce.

As much as business has changed, the demands in 1922 compared to those in the 21st century would all be relative to the time. Back then, a rush order was a rush order, just as it is today, and being first to market was no less critical than it is now. Our reputation as a trusted supplier and our business itself has grown through the success of our customers. We know, just as they did in 1922 that our customers depend on us.

Over the years, we have witnessed many changes within the industry and have always strived to implement the latest technology at IPB. New customer requirements and a commitment to continuous improvement have built the company over the past nine decades and will continue to drive its future.

Just over 90 years old, the company is as strong as ever. With a diverse customer base and a solid and dedicated group of employees, Ingersoll Paper Box Co. Limited is a company we are very proud to be a part of.

We Understand Your Needs

Healthcare Packaging

The pharmaceutical industry needs a packaging partner who can react quickly. Ingersoll Paper Box understands the tight deadlines associated with first-to-market product launches, and we thrive on the challenge of a quick turnaround project.

Braille embossing is an essential market for Ingersoll Paper Box. IPB is North America’s first folding carton converter to install Valeo Melton’s BrailleChek Camera Inspection System. The BrailleChek System examines each braille-embossed carton at full production speed, using high-speed camera technology and custom lighting to check the depth and accuracy of each dot.

Our New BrailleChek Inspection Technology guarantees defect-free boxes and 100% Braille inspection with bar code verification.

Food Packaging

Our facility is equipped with the necessary tools to meet the demands of the food packaging market. We adhere to rigid guidelines and are trained on the required controls for sensitive products. Quality agreements are in place with all critical suppliers. Our facilities are climate-controlled, and we have procedures to address security concerns.

Consumer/Retail Goods Packaging

Whatever your packaging objective, paperboard promotes, protects, and improves how retail goods are delivered to the store shelf and, ultimately, to our homes.

Retailers and manufacturers of consumer products are turning to paperboard for their packaging solutions. Your company brand relies on good market positioning and brand identity. IPB offers high-quality printed folding cartons and has the necessary procedures to ensure defect-free, quality cartons on time, every time.

Project Management Matters

Service Teams Manage Your Project

At Ingersoll Paper Box, we’re committed to providing our customers with the best folding cartons possible, and we are backed by exceptional service. The IPB service team includes experienced managers and personnel, many of whom have been with the company for over 20 years.

Our Sales Representatives are supported in the office by a designated Customer Service Representative who works closely with their accounts. A Job Coordinator is also assigned to each new project and follows its progress through production. Before production starts, this team meets to discuss quality concerns and delivery schedules with the operating personnel who will be involved in the project. This total involvement approach ensures no details are overlooked from receipt of your artwork to shipment of the finished product.

Once shipped, the team conducts a post-production analysis of each order. Opportunities for cost savings and improved delivery are identified for future orders.

The Right Technical Resources

Computer systems enhance our entire operation, from ordering materials to shipment of finished cartons. Through our networked manufacturing and scheduling system, we can quickly provide customers with inventory and shipment updates, order forecasting, and design development information.

We offer comprehensive services, including computer-aided design (CAD), printing, die-cutting, embossing, folding, and gluing.

We serve a diverse customer base in the food, healthcare, consumer goods, and pharmaceutical industries -offering flexible production runs from as small as a few thousand pieces to millions of cartons.

Flexibility and personal customer service keep our family-owned business on solid ground. We are committed to top-class customer service, high product quality, and long-nurtured competence in production.

History of Ingersoll Paper Box Company Ltd.

1922

Ingersoll Cone and Paper Box is how it all started. The company made ice cream cones, which needed boxes. As a partner and general manager, Robert Skinner considered everybody family. The ice cream cone operations were eventually sold, and the company’s name changed to Ingersoll Paper Box Co. Limited.

1940

Ronald Skinner, the second generation to manage Ingersoll Paper Box, made what would prove to be an essential sales call on a new Stratford, Ontario plant producing Fram filters for the Canadian market. IPB continued to serve this client for more than 55 years.

1968

David Skinner, the third generation, entered the business. Since then, we have seen tremendous growth in the industry, the building structure, and ongoing equipment upgrades.

1990-99

The 1990s marked the entry of the fourth generation of the Skinner family into the business. In 1994, Sarah joined our sales, marketing, and management teams. John joined IPB in 1997 and now leads our Structural Design Department. Our first formal Quality Management system was established in 1997. Manufacturing facility expansion occurred in 1999, and a 40″ six-colour Man Roland printing press was purchased.

2000-2023

Additions include new equipment, Quality Control Systems, expanded warehousing space, and new lunchroom facilities. Ingersoll Paper Box is now a modern facility with 84,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehousing ~ space. New customer requirements and a commitment to Continuous Improvement have built the company over the past nine decades and will continue to drive the company’s future.
