Coast Packaging is excited to welcome our new client, Happy Egg Co. (http://thehappyeggco.com/). Happy Eggs and Coast Packaging’s synergy began with their California-marketed products and has grown to Arkansas, Pennsylvania, Georgia and Missouri. We are looking forward to expanding to a fully-national campaign soon!
According to Happy Eggs website, they are redefining the egg industry with truly free-range eggs, with hens guaranteed at least 14 square feet per bird. Their free-range organic egg brands, Happy Egg Co eggs can be found at conventional grocery stores (Safeway/Vons, Kroger/Ralph’s, etc.)
Happy Eggs commitment to being an industry leader in innovation is what brought them to Coast Packaging. Happy Eggs needed packaging that was as unique as their corporate vision. Coast Packaging brought their experience with state-of-the-art picture quality printing technology to provide a superior product to the Happy Egg Co. By teaming up with Coast Packaging, Happy Egg Company has been able to bring vibrant, environmentally-efficient cartons to consumers.
Coast Packaging’s 40 years of experience in the packaging industry have given us an understanding of the needed tooling and technology to produce the highest quality packaging and graphics available. Just as we offered custom printed graphics on our corrugated cardboard packaging to Happy Eggs, Coast Packaging can facilitate your custom printing needs on any corrugated, egg carton, over wrap film or special product. Please give us a call at (800) 624-0838 or contact us at www.coastpackaging.com.
Coast Packaging could not be more proud to
announce that our very own General
Manager Jim Ford has been named the
“Industry Person Of The Year” by The Pacific Egg and Poultry Association
(PEPA)!
The Pacific Egg and Poultry
Association is a regional nonprofit agricultural trade association which has
served the egg and poultry industry for over 90 years. PEPA’s goal is to
enhance the viability of the poultry and egg industries in the eleven Western
States and Canada, and its ability to produce and market the highest quality
food products to the consumer in a competitive manner.
PEPA has been honoring a member
of the poultry industry annually since 1962.
Other past recipients include industry legends like Gary West, Arny
Riebli, Ed Demler and Harry Eisen as well as Coast Packaging and Haddy
Sales Company founder Joe Haddy.
Coast Packaging is especially proud of Jim Ford for breaking the
mold of previous “Industry Person of the Year” winners. In contrast to most—if not all—past
recipients, Jim Ford has never been a poultry or egg producer. Instead, Jim is being recognized for his
commitment to the Egg and Poultry Industry as an allied member. His career-long dedication to the food and
grocery industry began straight out of high school for Jim stocking shelves in a Boys Markets location in
Torrance, CA. In the late 70’s he became
a driver for Orowheat. From Orowheat he
made the transition in to the packaging side of the grocery industry when he
was recruited by Keyes Packaging.
Fortunately for Coast Packaging,
Ford’s time at Keyes Packaging afforded Haddy
Sales Company founder Joe Haddy the opportunity to meet Jim who has now
been working for Coast Packaging for
over 30 years.
Coast Packaging is honored that PEPA recognizes the value and
importance of packaging services to the egg and poultry industry. As the leading supplier of environmentally
friendly packaging in the Western United States, Jim and his team at Coast Packaging are always working hard
to bring the egg and poultry industry top-of-the-line, cutting edge products
including corrugated cardboard, molded fiber and high graphic custom
packaging. We also strive to supply the
best machinery match for their customer’s applications, volumes and budgets.
While Coast Packaging is best known for our excellence in egg packaging and
corrugated products for numerous packaging applications, we also offer other solutions for custom packaging
needs. Among these solutions, Coast Packaging is proud to offer
custom molded fiber items for high volume orders.
Molded fiber is often considered a viable alternative to corrugated cardboard.
It is commonly deemed a sustainable packaging material, as defined by
the Sustainable Packaging Coalition, since it is produced from recycled
materials, and can be recycled again after its useful life-cycle. Molded fiber has many diverse applications
that can meet your food packaging and protective packaging needs. It is often used to create cup holders,
furniture caps and wine bottle shipping.
In keeping with Coast
Packaging’s commitment to finding customized solutions for our customers,
we have the capacity to manufacture molded fiber in any form to meet your
unique needs. Our custom molded fiber
solutions are available for high volume orders.
Coast Packaging continues its
commitment to becoming your “one-stop” packaging spot by carrying a variety of
pallet wrapping film. As always, Coast Packaging is dedicated to
competitive prices coupled with the highest level of customer service and
product consultation. All of our
customers at Coast Packaging enjoy
the fruits of our Just-In-Time service and price sensitivity for any budget.
Pallet Wrap Varieties and Applications
Coast Packaging offers
both hand wrap and machine wrap depending on our customers’ needs and
scales. In addition to the standard
pallet wrapping film, Coast Packaging also
carries vented film for special applications.
Vented film has strategically placed holes to allow the
products to breathe and avoid heat locking.
This particular pallet wrapping film is especially beneficial to the
packaging and transport of produce. The specially-formulated film prevents
wilting of fruits, vegetables and other live cargo. It also reduces the
likelihood of cardboard disintegration from the perspiration of the produce.
Printed Pallet Wrap For Helping To Market Your Company
Coast Packaging’s 30 plus years of experience in the packaging
industry have given us an understanding of the consumer market which we can use
to leverage your brand and drive sales.
Just as we offer custom graphics on our famous corrugated cardboard
packaging, Coast Packaging can facilitate custom logo printing on eligible
films and banders.
Coast Packaging is proud to announce yet another partnership aimed at improving the ease
and convenience of packaging for our loyal customer base. Recently, Coast Packaging has sold a number of
pallet wrapping machines manufactured by our friends at Fox Packaging Services.
Fox Packaging Services is a Canadian manufacturer of pallet
wrapping equipment that has been evolving and inventing pallet wrapping
equipment since 1998. Because we here at
Coast Packaging recognize and value
the efforts of companies that hold customer service and satisfaction in as high
esteem as the J.G Haddy Sales Company, we could not
be more excited to work with Fox! Fox is
not only committed to the upmost customer service, but also on building low maintenance,
dependable equipment that fit any customer’s unique needs and budget. We at Coast
Packaging have worked with several of our customers to find the perfect
custom-made machine fit.
While you may know that Coast
Packaging is one of the market leaders for custom corrugated cardboard
packaging, you may not know that Coast offers
machinery consultation for our customers! Coast
Packaging supplies the best machinery match for their customer’s
applications, volumes and budgets. From the perspective of the packaging
supplier, Coast’s personnel see a
lot of machinery applications in the field. Honestly, many work well and many
don’t! As such, we are excited and
dedicated to connecting our customers with amazing products like the Fox pallet
wrapping machines!
In Coast Packaging’s ongoing
quest to maximize efficiency for its customers, Coast Packaging has partnered with Best Pack to provide the highest
quality carton sealers to our customer-base. Those familiar with the Best Pack
brand consider the company’s products to be the “Cadillac” machines for carton
erecting, taping and sealing. Best Pack customizes their machines and is

lines of carton sealing tape, namely, Acrylic tape and Hot Melt tape, as well

Coast Packaging
is proud to announce that we have recently sold a couple of Best Pack’s
tape machines. We at Coast Packaging consider
our new representation of Best Pack products as yet another step in the J.G. Haddy Sales Company continued
commitment to satisfying all of our customers’ packaging, trucking and warehousing needs under one roof. Now, Coast Packaging not only offers the
premier environmentally-friendly corrugated cardboard packaging to our
customers, but also the top-of-the-line automatic taping machines complete with
durable carton sealing tape for a consistent and quality seal each and every
