In plain English
PKG is the third-largest maker of cardboard boxes in the United States. It runs its own paper mills that turn recycled cardboard and Southern pine fibre into containerboard, then folds that board into corrugated shipping boxes for everyone from Amazon to beef packers — a humble, vertically integrated business that quietly moves a tenth of the boxes the US economy ships, plus a small office-paper arm picked up with Boise in 2013.
