Containerboard

Packaging Corporation of America operates:

Four containerboard mills

A woodland management group that operates PCA's Forest Management Assistance Program. PCA's group works with over 500 landowners, encompassing 200,000 acres by providing a wide range of services including management planning, forest inventory, seedlings and assistance in planning sales, BMP compliance and reforestation services.

PCA's containerboard mills produce over 2.4 million tons of linerboard (the inner and outer layers of a corrugated container) and medium (the fluted center layer) for PCA's own converting facilities as well as numerous domestic and international customers. All of PCA's containerboard mills are ISO 9002 and SFI certified.

Linerboard is produced at our Counce, TN and Valdosta, GA mills in a wide variety of grades (26# through 96#) which can be used in virtually any corrugated or non-corrugated application. These facilities also make a number of specialized grades, where superior strength (high-performance containerboard) or moisture-resistance (wet strength for agricultural or governmental applications) is needed.

Corrugating medium is produced at our Filer City, MI and Tomahawk, WI mills and is available in the 23# through 40# basis weight range. Like our liner mills, the medium mills specialize in performance and wet strength mediums for demanding container applications, and optimized package performance.

All customers can track their orders, look up grade runs and trace railcars via our exclusive PROSIS system. Call us today to sign up!
