In November, Packaging Strategies<\/em> published its Top 25 Flexible Packaging Converters<\/a> list.<\/p>\n While we stand by the list, the flexible packaging landscape is constantly evolving, and it\u2019s not too early to start thinking about what the 2026 list might look like.<\/p>\n Prior to going to press with our Top 25 story\u2014but too late in the game to make any alterations to our list\u2014we received some suggestions for companies that should be included in the Top 25.<\/p>\n One of those companies is Transcendia<\/a>, the film manufacturer and converter headquartered in Franklin Park, Illinois. Although we haven\u2019t reported extensively on Transcendia, it\u2019s worth noting that the company serves over 2,300 customers and operates 13 manufacturing facilities and three distribution centers globally. Definitely a contender for next year\u2019s Top 25 list!<\/p>\n Another contender is Charter Next Generation (CNG), a company that repeatedly made Packaging Strategies<\/em> headlines in 2025. Particularly noteworthy are CNG\u2019s collaborations with NOVA Chemicals<\/a> and Shell Polymers<\/a>.<\/p>\n It also was suggested that Constantia Flexibles<\/a> be included in our Top 25 list. While most of the company\u2019s facilities are located in Europe, North American locations include Blythewood (South Carolina), Bolingbrook (Illinois), and San Luis Potos\u00ed (Mexico).<\/p>\n As I said, it\u2019s never too early to start looking ahead to what next year\u2019s Top 25 list might look like. A big factor in our ranking is prior-year sales, and we focus on firms with operations in North America. However, we\u2019re open to any and all suggestions as far as determining which flexible packaging converters deserve to be in the Top 25.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t hesitate to weigh in!
