About Oliver | Oliver Packaging

Helping You Serve Excellence

Oliver Packaging has been designing and building equipment for the people who feed others since 1890.

Confidence Behind Every Meal Moment

Oliver Packaging has always been about more than trays and machines. Our work is about connection, care, and dignity.

For over 135 years, we’ve designed and manufactured equipment with world-class craftsmanship and quality; first in woodworking, then in bakery equipment, and now in complete heat-sealing meal packaging systems.

We pioneered heat-sealed meal packaging for senior nutrition programs in 2000, and since then, our systems have helped organizations package and serve more than 4 billion meals nationwide. That experience is built into every solution we provide.

Behind every tray we supply and every sealing machine we install is a promise to bring confidence to every meal moment. From trays to lidding films to sealing equipment and factory-direct service, our fully integrated solutions are designed to work together and meet the everyday demands of food service.

We’re not just a vendor. We’re the reliable partner who shows up, answers the call, and helps programs serve more with less. Whether it’s a child’s first school lunch, a senior’s only meal of the day, or a busy family grabbing a ready-to-eat nutritious dinner, it’s not just about what we make. It’s about what we make possible every day.
