Custom Packaging & Products, a company that specializes in producing short-run custom printed food packaging, is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The company was founded in 1974 by entrepreneur John Van Horn Sr. with the goal of helping small independent restaurants and groups enhance their brand with custom-printed food service papers.
Initially established as a paper converter, Custom Packaging & Products later expanded into retail packaging, providing custom printing services for gift wrap and tissue paper for retail businesses in Georgia. In the mid-1990s, the company shifted its focus to catering to the demand for custom-printed deli papers from restaurant clients, leading to the development of a new aspect of the business.
Today, with John, Ryan Van Horn’s son and Natalie at the helm, Custom Packaging & Products is honored to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Ryan has played a key role in the company’s growth by expanding into new markets and incorporating innovative technologies into their operations.
