About Us
A package says more about a product than any advertisement.
Elegant's success has been built on over a century of manufacturing experience. Established in Chicago in 1910 as Pharmacy Box Company, we then merged with Ellegant Paper Box Company in 1967. Pharmacy produced pillboxes for the delivery of prescription medicines and Ellegant, which opened in 1911, made specialty boxes. In 1982 they changed the name to Pharmacy Ellegant Paper Box Company. In January 1998, the company took yet another step on its journey of progress when they shortened the name to Elegant Packaging. The new name better reflected what the company produced then, what we continue to do today, and what we will do in the future.
Elegant Packaging is regarded as one of the premier designers and manufacturers of customized Rigid Specialty Boxes, Presentation Binders, Soft Sewn Packaging, and Compression Thermal Forming. These products are sold to various industries including the advertising, computer, confections, cosmetics, education, electronics, entertainment, medical, publishing, software, and toy/game industries.
Today, Elegant Packaging operates in a 100,000 square foot facility located in Cicero, Illinois - just west of downtown Chicago. We are centrally located in the Mid-West allowing us to handle national distribution effectively while achieving maximum production efficiencies with all manufacturing in one facility. We are the largest US factory of combined rigid packaging and cut and sew products.
Our Promise is to be the most responsive manufacturer of value-added packaging. We are committed to be focused on service to the customer, attention to detail, superior design and engineering, while maximizing resources to provide the best solution and value to our customers.
