McKernan Packaging Clearing House

For over 59 years, McKernan Packaging Clearing House has been dedicated to providing quality packaging. McKernan offers a low-cost, low-lead time and high-quality solution to all of your packaging needs. With over 1,000 items in their Wholesale program, and millions of packaging units in stock and ready to ship, there’s something for everyone!

When companies have unused surplus packaging, and no longer have a need or the warehouse space to store it, this is where McKernan steps in. We offer these companies a profitable alternative to recycling, scrapping or dumping. By letting McKernan purchase their surplus packaging, companies enjoy the fastest, most profitable and environmentally responsible way of eliminating surplus/excess packaging from their inventory, as well as saving valuable resources from needlessly clogging up our already overcrowded landfills.

In 1992, McKernan Packaging coined the phrase “Precycle (R),” which means pre-consumer recycling. It is the process of taking these surplus/overstock pre-consumer components and re-purposing them back into the industry. These Precycled components are high quality and are offered at highly discounted prices.

After nearly 60 years and two generations, the McKernan family has solidly established its extensive network of packaging suppliers, which includes major players such as Colgate-Palmolive, Unilever, Johnson & Johnson, Alberto Culver, and Bristol-Myers-Squibb.

Our broad definition of “excess” includes items usually thought of as outside traditional packaging, such as various cosmetic components, food grade and medical items and so much more. No matter what you’re after, check with McKernan. The same is true if you have excess packaging you need to move. Packaging that’s excess to one enterprise can be extremely valuable to another. Small manufacturers/marketers, startup entrepreneurs, or established packagers with unconventional packaging requirements often need the packaging that is considered excess by other companies.

Considering packaging’s ability to influence purchaser decisions, companies gain the advantage of purchasing packaging from major multinational marketers, who have already invested millions to determine what works best. Remember, buying McKernan is not only “Green,” but it is also a great way to save money on all your packaging needs!
