From its modest founding in 1918, Eastern Bag and Paper has become one of the largest paper distributors in the Northeast. The reins passed from Samuel Baum to his son, Gerald, who assumed the presidency in 1978. Louise Baum succeeded her late husband in 1983, and the company's current CEO is their daughter, Meredith B. Reuben. In 1992, Eastern Bag and Paper Company acquired Salem Paper Company, located in Massachusetts. In 2002 Eastern Bag established a distribution center in Hamilton, NJ, from which the Company now services all of New Jersey, Philadelphia, Long Island and metro New York. This brief overview will help you get to know us better, and describes how we're different from other suppliers: chiefly our dedication to customer service, the application of information systems, wide distribution area, innovative cost-saving programs, and product line depth.

The company operates out of three distribution centers located in Milford, CT (170,000 Sq. Ft.) and Tewksbury, MA (100,000 Sq. Ft.) and Hamilton, NJ (125,000 sq.ft.). Delivery is accomplished with 42 straight trucks and 10 tractor trailers. Four million cases are shipped annually with 200,000 annual deliveries.
