How we got here

Kraftline started as a two-press carton shop serving regional food brands. We added corrugated in 2006, labels in 2014, and kitting in 2019 because customers kept asking us to hold the whole pack together instead of coordinating three vendors.

Everything still runs through one scheduling desk. When a retail reset moves, one person changes the date, and every line downstream sees it. That is the reason we quote firm in-hands dates rather than ranges.
