Our History
Since 1925, the Monte family has proudly manufactured and supplied top-quality produce containers to growers and packers worldwide. At Monte Package Company, we understand that exceptional packaging directly supports your profitability and marketing success. That's why we offer America's largest selection of containers, designed to meet diverse needs and industry trends.
Located in the heart of Michigan's renowned fruit belt, our headquarters in Riverside, Michigan, keeps us closely connected to growers' real-world requirements. As a family-owned and operated business, we take immense pride in delivering innovative, efficient designs while maintaining the highest standards of quality in everything we produce and stock.
Our extensive product line includes wire-bound crates, corrugated masters, wet-service cartons, roadside containers, orchard bins, picking accessories, wood baskets, pallets, bulk bins, and much more—virtually everything a produce operation needs.
We specialize in customization, with the expertise and resources to create virtually any packaging solution tailored to your specifications. Our comprehensive services include label design and application, automatic box setup, custom banners, and full end-to-end support—from initial concept through final delivery—all handled in-house by Monte Package Company.
