Trusted printing and packaging partners since 1944
For more than 80 years, Inland has been a leader in high-quality product labels and packaging that stand out on the shelf.
We work with leading brands across North America to produce food, beverage, and consumer packaging and bring new ideas and better solutions to market. From selecting the right label finishes to providing production support, we help customers create packaging that performs, impresses, and sells.

We’re proud of our reputation for consistency, transparency, and follow-through — and of the lasting relationships we’ve built along the way. Because at Inland, what sets us apart isn’t just the packaging. It’s the people behind it.
The Inland story
Inland’s story began in the early 1900s as a small print shop in La Crosse, Wisconsin, producing garage forms for Ford dealers. In 1944, John Glendenning purchased the company and set it on a path of growth. He invested in new technology, expanded capabilities, and emphasized strong customer relationships. His son Jack took over in the 1960s, guiding Inland into the label and packaging industry with an initial focus on beer and beverage. Today, Inland is a third-generation company led by Mark Glendenning, recognized for innovation, service, and enduring partnerships that have earned the trust of brands across industries.
