Colorado Container Corporation is a full-service designer and manufacturer of corrugated packaging and display products serving customers along the Front Range since 1963.
A privately held, independent company, Colorado Container Corporation is proud of its Colorado roots, and of the 120 people it employs. The company’s work force has helped it earn a reputation for quality and service, and the position of a single-source supplier to many of its quality-conscious customers. The Denver community recognized this in 1996 as Colorado Container received one of five Ethics in Business Awards presented to Colorado-operated companies. The company was founded 48 years ago by Rollie R. Kelley, who passed away in 1999. It is operated today by his children. Each year, the company donates a significant percentage of its profits to the Rollie R. Kelley Family Foundation.

All white linerboard is elemental chlorine free.
Ethics In Business Award
Among its numerous awards for service and quality, the award of which Colorado Container is most proud is the Colorado Ethics in Business Award, presented by the University of Denver’s Daniels College of Business in 1996. Citing the company’s commitment to its employees, its ongoing contributions to charitable and business programs, and its straightforward approach to doing business with customers and suppliers, the award highlighted some of Colorado Container’s basic tenets of business: share your success with your employees through profit-sharing incentives, give your customers value for their packaging dollar, and maintain steady, long-term relationships with your suppliers. These tenets have been keys to Colorado Container’s success.
