In 1996, Mark O'Malley purchased Paket and started to develop and collaborate with customers, both existing and new, on flexible packaging alternatives for their products. Mark focused on expanding the company's service offering outside of its existing core competencies, which primarily focused on filling tubes with industrial-based products.

 

In 2001, to meet customer demand, Paket purchased a 105,000 sq. ft. former Nalco Chemical facility in the Southeast side of Chicago.  This allowed Paket to add both horizontal and vertical f/f/s pouch lines as the CPG industry started vetting alternatives to their existing container formats. In addition, Mark recognized the need to offer R&D/NPD and compounding services to fully integrate the entire supply chain for emerging online or e-commerce focused customers. This re-investment philosophy still continues to this day and has allowed Paket to cater to almost any outsourced contract packaging customer need. In 2018 Paket added additional capabilities to further bolster the services it could provide both existing and new customers alike. Paket's current service offering now allows customers to have a "one-stop shop" for both their sampling and retail product lines.
