Pick A Platform

Pick a platform, any platform

The end result of Bell's deft combination of cost-cutting and capital investment is that its customers can essentially "pick a platform—we have the cost structure and the technology," Graham states. Food packaging is the largest market Bell serves—including frozen food, prepared food, and cereal carton applications—followed by quick service restaurant containers for customers such as McDonald's, and overnight delivery packaging for clients including the United States Postal Service. (Bell reports it is the world's largest producer of overnight envelopes.) A third major component of Bell's customer base is general consumer packaging, which includes hardware carton products for customer General Electric.
