The Company was founded by Nancy's father, the late Charles Colbert. Charles' father, Charles Caldwell Colbert, founded American Coating Mills in 1921 and established it as one of the largest producers of folding cartons and carton board (sold in 1947). In 1959, son Charles purchased the property and assets of Kroeck Paper Box, which was founded in 1892, and started Colbert Packaging. Since its inception, Colbert Packaging has grown organically and through acquisition.

"We at Colbert Packaging are excited about this certification and the meaningful impact it will have on the future of our business, and for our employees, our customers, and our suppliers," states Nancy. "We remain committed to the ongoing development of our sustainability and corporate social responsibility initiatives."

In 2025, Colbert Packaging earned an EcoVadis (ecovadis.com) bronze rating, putting the company in the top 35^th percentile amongst more than 130,000 rated companies. Colbert also recently announced its purchase and installation of a new 10-color RMGT printing press – the longest printing press sold by RM Machinery in North America. This exemplifies Colbert's continual focus on the future, and commitment to bringing its customers innovative products in safe, smart and sustainable paper-based secondary packaging.
