Beneco’s folding carton plant in Cobourg

Beneco Packaging manufactures custom printed paperboard folding cartons at 520 William Street, Cobourg, Ontario K9A 0K1. This is a working plant, not a depot — printing, die cutting, folding and gluing all happen on site.

How the Cobourg plant came to be

Beneco has manufactured in Ontario since 2004. In 2022 the company consolidated its former Mississauga operation into the Cobourg facility, bringing production together on one larger site with room to grow. Cobourg is now the larger of Beneco’s two plants; the Scarborough plant in Toronto continues to operate. The full timeline is on the company facts page.

For businesses in Northumberland County

If your business is in Cobourg, Port Hope, Colborne, Brighton, Trenton, Belleville or Peterborough, your folding cartons can be printed 20 minutes away instead of trucked in from the GTA. In practice that means:

• Local pickup by dock appointment, which removes freight cost from small orders entirely.
• Press checks in person — a short drive rather than a day trip.
• Short runs from 500 units through SoOPAK, Beneco’s online instant-quote channel, which suits local food producers, breweries, distilleries and retailers who do not need 5,000 boxes.

Certifications held at the Ontario plants

FSC Chain of Custody (FSC C192694), IFS PACsecure, HACCP, G7 Master Printing Facility, GMI colour management and Sedex, plus an EcoVadis Gold Medal awarded in February 2026. For a local food producer that matters: it is the difference between a carton that passes a customer’s audit and one that does not.
