PACKSMART'S CORE VALUES 

 Since 1979, PackSmart has striven to provide the best solutions to our customers and to deliver on our ever-present goal of “building trusted partnerships.” Almost 40 years. A company doesn’t make it to the 40-year mark by accident. No, in order to accomplish the longevity that PackSmart has, it takes more than just showing up; it takes a certain essence. Essence is defined as:

“The intrinsic nature or indispensable quality of something, especially something abstract, which determines its character.”

So, where does this essence come from? What determines that intrinsic nature - those indispensable qualities - that have allowed PackSmart to grow and evolve into a flourishing company with a bevy of loyal customers, strong relationships and the best employees around? What determines PackSmart’s character?

That would be our Core Values:

Willing to Learn & Adapt

Author Anthony J. D’Angelo once wrote:

“Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.”

A willingness to learn is engrained throughout PackSmart, and when one of us learns something, we’re all better for it.  A willingness to learn and then adapt to a new process as a result of the newfound knowledge is integral in continuous improvement and understanding. In a world where technology is pushing the limits of business and industry at a record pace, taking the time to learn new things and apply them is more important than ever.

Positive & Engaging

One’s outward disposition often determines their perspective of the world; their approach to challenges. It also determines how others perceive them. Being Positive & Engaging, therefore, gives our entire organization an air of optimism, and instills our customers with confidence in the partnerships they have built with us. Being Positive & Engaging turns problems into challenges; creating new opportunities.

Finds a Better Way

PackSmart is a packaging solutions provider. We don’t just sell products, we provide solutions to problems. This Core Value, Finds a Better Way, is at the heart of providing these solutions to our customers. At PackSmart, there’s always something that can be done, and we find the better ways to do it.

Collaborative

If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want go far, go together.

After over 40 years in business, it’s clear PackSmart has, indeed, gone far. And it’s been accomplished together. With collaboration comes new perspectives and ideas; perspectives and ideas that fuel innovative solutions and unlock doors to new opportunities.

Do What's Right

A high level of integrity has been central to PackSmart's business since its inception in 1979.  It's not about taking the easy way out or choosing the lower quality product to make more profit - we truly have our customers' best interests in mind.  We must do what's right so that customers know they've got a partner in PackSmart who is equally as committed to their success as they are.  We will always strive to do right by all our customers, vendors and employees alike.  Doing what's right establishes the foundation of trust that supports..."Strong Relationships, Stronger Results".

Our Core Values

Each of these values directly relates to the others. Without a willingness to learn and adapt, it’d be more difficult to find better ways. Without being Positive and Engaging, we would likely be less Willing to Learn. The collaborative atmosphere ensures we do what's right for all involved and not just for one individual.  Each of these Core Values strengthens and facilitates the others, and each of these values are critical pieces in the puzzle that makes up PackSmart's character.
