About B.F. Nelson

Large-Format. High-Graphic. Precise.

B.F. Nelson is a large format producer of high-graphic printed packaging — paperboard from .008 through .030 and F, E, and D-Flute singleface laminated corrugated. Located in a state-of-the-art 375,000 sq. ft. facility in the Minneapolis metro area, we manufacture both folding and corrugated packaging to the exacting tolerances of folding carton production.

Temperature & humidity-controlled production environment with stepped pressurization
Folding and corrugated packaging held to strict folding carton tolerances
8-color, 56" and 64" printing presses for large-format, high-quality output
Focused exclusively on retail product packaging — quality over volume

What We Do

Our Capabilities

Every capability integrated under one roof — from concept to carton.

01

Structural & Graphic Design

Engineering packaging that works structurally and stands out graphically — from initial concept through production-ready dielines.

02

Offset Printing

State-of-the-art 8-color presses up to 64" wide deliver vibrant, consistent color run after run — carton to carton.

03

Coating

Automated silk-screen presses apply "Ultra Deep" UV coatings for a shelf presence and tactile quality that drives purchase decisions.

04

Singleface Lamination

High-speed lamination of F, E, and D-Flute corrugated to paperboard — combining structural protection with premium print quality.

05

Die Cutting

Precision platen die cutters achieve the tight tolerances demanded by retail shelf programs and high-volume packaging lines.

06

Gluing

Folder-gluers built for maximum efficiency complete the packaging process — finished, retail-ready cartons every time.
