  • Southern Missouri Containers, Inc
Founded in the spring of 1972 in Springfield, Missouri, Southern Missouri Containers is the flagship company of SMC Packaging Group. Since its inception, the company has grown to a 160,000 square foot facility with over 180 employees. Our sound business philosophies have allowed us to assemble a first rate workforce, and, because of low turnover, our management, sales, administration, and production departments can offer you cumulative years of valuable experience.

The combination of our highly experienced team and our state of the art equipment enables us to excel in our marketplace. Further, having an in-house corrugator allows us to efficiently manufacture our own board and offer a full line of packaging products and services. Southern Missouri Containers maintains a strong financial rating and continues to reinvest each year in our people, building, equipment and technology to ensure that all aspects of our business is up-to-date.

In 1996, Southern Missouri Containers was named Manufacturer of the Year by the Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce. Criteria for the distinction included dedication to our employees and our community, sales growth, and overall business philosophy. We were honored to be recognized as a fundamentally sound business from a field of so many qualified companies.

We invite you to take advantage of these fundamentals and let us partner with you to find a packaging solution that is customized to your needs. In fact, if you are ever in the area we encourage you to stop in and learn more about what all we have to offer.
