About CMI:
CMI – more than traditional packaging. Delivering cost-efficient and supply chain secure solutions across all substrates.
In 2013, CMI, then a printing company, was approached by the president of PDQ restaurants with a unique packaging dilemma: they needed custom-sized boxes for their chicken tenders, a need unmet by his food service provider and impractical for manufacturers due to high minimum orders. Seizing this opportunity, CMI stepped in to bridge the gap, offering tailored manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, and supply chain insights. This pivotal moment marked CMI’s transformation from a printing specialist to a full-service packaging provider.
Today, CMI stands as a leader in packaging solutions, catering to small, medium and national brands. CMI’s journey from a simple printing company to a multifaceted packaging expert reflects its commitment to innovative, customized solutions for its clients.
