History
PAC National was founded in 1975 in Bellevue, Washington by Phil and Cathy Boshaw.

Phil Boshaw had developed a lightweight, reusable air freight container called the “D” container. Airborne Express saw the benefit of Phil’s design and gave PAC National it’s first orders. Out of a small warehouse in Seattle, Phil and Cathy assembled by hand, components of the “D” container for Airborne. Brokered packaging, light fulfillment, and light distribution became the building blocks of PAC in the early years.

Success with Airborne led to sales growth into Burlington Northern Airfreight, REI, Shasta Beverage Company and many others. Success in the first decade of operations culminated in landing the United Parcel Service account in 1984.

In order to continue it's growth, PAC National needed to move from being just a broker, In 1989 the Boshaws sold PAC National, Inc. to the Dickinson Robinson Group (DRG) of Great Britain. The sale of the business was a strategic initiative intended to match the sales and marketing force of PAC with a powerhouse global manufacturer like DRG. Unfortunately, after just six months, DRG succumbed to a hostile takeover and the intended advantages of a DRG/PAC partnership evaporated.

In 1991, a management buyout was initiated to purchase the original US and Canadian holdings from the takeover group. The new company was called PNG - PAC National Group. PNG worked diligently to move the company forward, shedding non-performing business units and maximizing operating profits. However, due to cash flow constraints, PNG was not able to keep up with the growth and expansion in the courier industry. As a result in 1996, Mr. Boshaw, members of his immediate family and certain officers of the company successfully tendered an offer to purchase PNG and return it to private ownership.

In 1996, PAC set out to aggressively reorganize and develop its own manufacturing capabilities. Over the next two years operations were set up in Lebanon, Ohio, and San Juan Del Rió, México.

The Ohio plant, named PAC Manufacturing, LLC focused on flexible packaging for the air couriers. Polyjackets and Airjackets were their two initial products. PAC Worldwide Mexico focused on producing paper Mailjackets for the courier and other industries.

In 1998, PAC acquired the majority ownership of Sound Packaging, LLC in Arizona. Sound Packaging was a corrugated sheet plant owned by five private investors, one of whom was Jim Boshaw, Phil and Cathy’s son. Once PAC acquired Sound Packaging, a professional management team was installed and Jim relocated to Bellevue, Washington in 1999 to focus on company growth throughout all PAC locations.
