About Us
In 1937, L.P. Michelsen founded Michelsen
Packaging Company in Yakima, Washington as a distributor of
supplies for the apple and tree fruit industry. His abiding
goal was to "provide exceptional customer service." Through
the years, the company has grown to encompass many facets
including the manufacturing and marketing of Jiffy® Macerated Produce
Pads, Kushion
Kraft®, Bubble
Wrap®, Cell-Aire® Polyethylene
foam, Vanguard
Premium® cushioning material, SUN-DRY® and SUNBEAM® raisin trays,
jumbo raisin paper rolls, molded pulp apple and pear trays
and SIMS packaging
equipment.
As a leading produce packaging manufacturer and distributor
we represent several manufacturers of packaging products

operates manufacturing and warehousing facilities in
multiple Western U.S. locations. In Washington, we serve
you in Yakima and
