Bates Container is one of the largest independent corrugated box manufacturers in the United States. Founded by Warren Bates and Hardy Sanders in 1963, Bates has grown to four manufacturing facilities, two of which have 98" corrugators. Founded on the principals of innovation and service, Bates continues to look for better ways to do things, and how to deliver these "things" to the customer faster. Bates has a wide breadth of equipment and capabiliites, from running e-flute 4-color custom die-cuts to standard one-color c-flute RSC's, to large a/c doublewall bulk-bins. Bates Container's continuous investment in partnering with customers, employees and the community truly is the differentiator between the Bates and the many competitors in the corrugated box industry.
