Akers Packaging is excited to announce that the Chicago team is now operating from their new home, 425 Crossing Drive, University Park, IL. The new facility has over 280,000 sq ft of space, more than double the size of the previous location, allowing for a significant increase in manufacturing capacity, and increased commitment to the high level of service that our customers have come to expect.
