Our Mission
To help people acquire custom bags.
HELP
We are here to help. People contact us because they have a need. We need to try and help fill that need. If we cannot help due to the bag not being something we can make, we will direct you to a source if one is known.
PEOPLE
We are helping real people with real needs. In this day of emails, texts and at times impersonal means of modern business, we can never forget that the help we are giving is for real people solving real problems.
CUSTOM
We are a custom manufacturer. We are not a stock house.
Our Vision
Healthy Planet, Healthy People, Healthy Company
HEALTHY PLANET
We are ALL connected to the planet we inhabit. Our actions in the way we manufacture and products we produce have an impact. The goal is to increasingly make our impact a positive one.
HEALTHY PEOPLE
The people who make up our company is our company. The people make all the difference. The goal is to strive to create employment that engages people and provides the best physical, mental, and social well-being we can.
HEALTHY COMPANY
The health of our company is key to providing for employees, vendors, and clients. The goal is to invest in our company to get better and ensure health and viability moving forward.
Our Process
ClearView Packaging is a manufacturer and converter of plastic bags and roll stock. We specialize in custom packaging and printing.
Design Creation and Development
If printing is your need we are uniquely staffed with an in-house art and graphics team, as well as a plate-making department with state-of-the-art equipment to help you with the design of your package.
Order for your raw materials
We do not extrude the plastic used to make your bags but rather have dedicated, qualified suppliers that provide us with superior quality film in the size and thickness you require.
Printing Production Line
If the material is to be printed, one of our presses featuring four-wide web central impression units will do the job.
Then it’s off to the production line where one of our 17 machines will cut and seal your package adding any of the custom options you require.
Quality Check
Once off the production line, the final product is inspected for quality.
Sent out for delivery
Your product is ready to be shipped right to your door.
