Tom Costello's Company Details
Founded in 1875, as Ghio and Gandolfo Self-Rising Flour Company, Checker Bag is now a well known quality cellophane, propylene and poly bag manufacturer.We began making cello bags in the '40s to package puffed wheat and puffed rice. In the '50s we added a line of the, then revolutionary, polyethylene bags. We became Authorized Dupont Converters.In 1958, Checker purchased its first high speed wicketed, side weld bag maker and added auto wicketers in 1985.In 1989, we added a printing facility. We started with a two-color press, graduated to a six-color and in 2002 acquired an eight-color central impression press. This latest press allowed for more precise, higher quality print.
