About Us
Founded in 1973 by Merl Seastrom, Pacific Forest Industries has been helping brands across the West Coast bring their packaging ideas to life. Based in Vernon, CA, we specialize in custom folding cartons and inserts — from simple reverse tuck end boxes to complex windowed designs — made to fit your products perfectly and elevate your brand on the shelf.
What sets us apart? It starts with quality. We use only prime-grade roll stock (never seconds or rejects) and handle every step of the manufacturing process right here in our Southern California facility. That means tighter control, faster turnaround, and packaging you can count on — every time.
With over 50 years in business, we’ve seen just about everything packaging can throw our way. But we don’t rely on experience alone — we’re constantly innovating. Whether it’s exploring new carton structures, improving production efficiency, or developing packaging that helps our customers stand out, we bring craftsmanship and creativity together.
We also believe great packaging shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet.
That’s why we:
Create recyclable and compostable packaging
Recycle 100% of our production trim and waste
Use environmentally safe inks and chemicals throughout our process
At Pacific Forest, we’re proud to help our customers create packaging that’s not only beautiful and functional — but also responsibly made and fully recyclable.
Our design team works side-by-side with you to create packaging that protects your product, enhances its presentation, and gets it to market faster. Whether you’re a startup launching your first product or an established brand refreshing your look, we’ll guide you from concept to carton with personal service and attention to detail.
Our mission is simple: to deliver innovative, sustainable packaging solutions that add real value to your business.
Let’s build something great together — packaging that looks good, works hard, and does right by the environment.
We look forward to working with you,
Pacific Forest Team
