About Winston Packaging
Winston Packaging is a fourth-generation family-owned printed-paperboard packaging company founded in 1911 in downtown Winston-Salem, NC. Alexander G. Gordon established the firm as a commercial printing shop. He was a journeyman bookbinder and entrepreneur who promoted the use of color in the printing industry. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. became one of the company's largest customers after its inception and remained so for 82 years. John R. Gordon succeeded his father as company president in 1953. His experience as an industrial engineer and his electronics and military experience in the Air Force during World War II and Korea helped bring new technologies to the company. He added offset printing presses and improved the workflow processes and management techniques. Over the years, Winston Printing shifted its operation from commercial printing to printed-paperboard packaging, and, since 1999, has done business as Winston Packaging. The company designs and makes paperboard packages for consumer products ranging from cigarettes to photo envelopes for a wide range of industries nationally and in Canada. Today, the company has 46 regular employees operating in an 80,000 square ft facility in Winston-Salem, NC.
