To support this growth, Royal Food Products partnered with PLAN IT Packaging Systems to modernize their packaging operations. Their most recent investment, a MarsCompak vertical form-fill-seal (VFFS) line with an integrated ELITEWEIGH multihead scale, replaced a labor-intensive manual process and delivered immediate results.

If you’re heading to Pack Expo East 2026, we’d love to see you. This year, we’re bringing a serious equipment lineup built for real production floors designed to help manufacturers increase throughput, reduce labor strain, improve consistency, and scale with confidence.

At Plan It Packaging, our bulk packaging solutions are engineered to simplify and automate the packaging process for fresh produce, proteins, and temperature-sensitive foods, from leafy greens and fruits to vegetables, poultry, meats, and more.

As we step confidently into 2026, we’re taking a moment to reflect on an incredible year behind us. 2025 was a defining year for Plan It Packaging—one filled with growth, innovation, customer collaboration, and major milestones across North America.
