Packaging and Containers ManufacturingMissouri, United States11-50 Employees

Checker Bag Company, based in St. Louis, Missouri, operates in the packaging and containers manufacturing sector, producing bags made from cellophane, propylene, and polyethylene. Founded in 1875 as Ghio and Gandolfo Self-Rising Flour Company, the business evolved into a recognized producer of quality bags. The company began making cello bags in the 1940s and added polyethylene bags in the 1950s, reflecting its shift toward modern packaging materials.
Checker Bag later incorporated automation, purchasing its first high-speed wicketed, side-weld bag maker in 1958 and adding auto wicketers in 1985. In 1989, it expanded to include a printing facility, starting with a two-color press, then a six-color press, and in 2002 acquiring an eight-color central impression press to improve print quality. These capabilities support its role in packaging bag manufacturing for customers who require reliable production.
