About Shorr Packaging Corp
Shorr Packaging Corp was founded in 1922 in Des Moines, Iowa, and operates as an employee-owned distributor of packaging products, equipment, and services. The company traces its roots to a simple principle of listening to the customer, which has guided its growth into one of the largest independent packaging distributors in the United States. The company supplies a broad portfolio of packaging materials — including corrugated boxes, shrink and stretch films, and air cushioning systems — and represents equipment lines from major manufacturers. Beyond product distribution, Shorr provides integrated services such as packaging automation design and integration, vendor-managed inventory (intellistock), custom packaging design and prototyping, contract packaging (co-packing), cold chain solutions, and equipment installation, training, and maintenance through a coast-to-coast network of warehouses and certified service technicians. Shorr serves customers across diverse sectors, including food and beverage (a gourmet dog treat producer), agriculture, medical devices (a minimally invasive surgical product maker), power tools, powersports, e-commerce (both large retailers and luxury brands), and musical instruments (a high-end guitar manufacturer). Its national packaging programs and sustainability consulting also support specialty pharmacy and industrial manufacturing clients. The employee-owned structure, formalized through an ESOP, is cited as a core differentiator that aligns employee incentives with customer outcomes. Shorr’s proprietary STAMP (Shorr Total Approach to Managed Packaging) program delivers facility-level audits and enterprise-wide optimization strategies, while its sustainability program — backed by memberships in the Sustainable Packaging Coalition and EcoVadis — helps clients reduce emissions and waste.
