For nearly seven decades, Bay Cities has quietly helped shape the products consumers see on store shelves and the packages arriving on doorsteps every day. While many recognize the company for its award-winning packaging and retail displays, Bay Cities has evolved into something far greater than a packaging manufacturer. Today, it is a design studio, technology innovator, logistics partner, retail display solutions provider, and one of the nation's leading employee-owned pac
