Community involvement is a long-standing objective at Beck Packaging. The company and its employee-owners have invested countless volunteer hours raising money for local organizations.

Investment in the community is just one of many ways Beck Packaging and its employee-owners demonstrate our commitment to be a good corporate citizen.

We have learned the value of connecting with our community. Not only do we take pride in raising money and awareness for local organizations, we take pride in the relationships we build with the people involved with these local charities and groups. We aren’t only known as Beck Packaging we are known for our involvement with the wonderful organizations around us and that is something very special to us. Founder Irwin Beck was very passionate about helping the community and we continue to make him proud by supporting local chapters and connecting with the community and beyond.
