We began in medical...

Founded in 1949 as a paper broker and converter, Pacon Manufacturing co-developed the first sterilizable paper used for wound care dressings. With this material in hand, Pacon transitioned into Flexo-graphic printing to serve the medical marketplace.

These relationships grew in scope to include the converting and packaging of sterile towels, drapes, and dressings for medical procedures – markets we continue to serve today.

And expanded to consumer...

In the 1990s we expanded our focus into the consumer products arena, initially as a copacker for Ponds Pore Strips. Bridging into the new century, Pacon commercialized the first “water-activated” cleansing formula and used this technology to make an impact in the fast-growing wipes market.

Our customers quickly realized that our ability to react and create could help them get into new markets quickly with more than just a “me too” offering.
In the decades since then, Pacon continued to Innovate, collaborate and execute with excellence producing many of the well-known household, health & beauty, industrial and medical products that impact lives every day.
