Custom Packaging for Los Angeles & Orange County

George Crystal was a traveling salesman, who sold staple machines to furniture manufacturers and box companies. While serving in World War II, his knowledge of packaging put him in an interesting position and out of harm’s way. He served his time showing the companies supplying products to the war how to package their products to reach their final destination intact. When the war ended, George continued to sell staple machines.

In the mid 1950s, George took a job selling corrugated cartons for a large national packaging company. Over time, he built a great reputation and client base. In 1972, at the retirement age of 65, his bosses urged George to turn over his accounts. Not ready for retirement, he asked his son Harry Crystal to join him. Together, they started Crystalson Packaging Co., Inc.

Harry was fortunate to spend over 15 years learning from one of the best in the business. He has spent the past four decades meeting all of his customers’ packaging wants and needs.

In 1974, Sharon Crystal also followed her father into the packaging world. Her father, Bob Clapp, was a graphic artist who owned a printing plate business. Sharon started in production, but soon found her home in customer service. Her two favorite salesmen were Harry and George. A few years later, Sharon joined Crystalson and took over the customer service and accounting duties.

In the beginning, many of Crystalson’s customers, including Herman Miller, were furniture manufacturers. Unfortunately, the EPA forced many of the furniture manufactures out of Southern California. As Crystalson’s furniture customers scattered from Sacramento to Mexico, Harry, George and Sharon continued to service and supply them in their new locations.

Crystalson Packaging has evolved along with the Southern California manufacturing climate. It has been a wonderful evolution, providing a diverse clientele. Along with meat, seafood, produce, herbs and coffee producers, Crystalson still services furniture manufacturers, makers of brakes, horns, television accessories, juke boxes, roller-skates and much more. Customers have been loyal for 20, 30, and even 40 years, some growing from small start-ups into large, successful companies. Crystalson considers their customers family.

Carley Crystal, daughter of Harry and Sharon has recently joined the business. After graduating college and several years spent in the corporate world, she is following the Crystalson tradition with an old-fashioned apprenticeship. Carley is learning the packaging business from the ground up. The third generation is on board!
