Experts Since 1952

Established in 1952, NW Packaging began as a rubber stamp and label manufacturer. In 1994, Frank Farrenkopf, a former banker and turnaround consultant, was hired as General Manager.

The company grew and expanded its product line with the emergence of high-resolution case coding and automated labeling. In 2001, Frank and his wife Julie purchased City Rubber Stamp which became CRS Data Solutions, reflecting its new emphasis on marking, coding and tracking. In short order, by 2003, CRS Data Solutions was the #1 Videojet/Marsh distributor in the U.S. CRS remains in the vanguard of coding and tracking, staying abreast of the new technologies that drive the industry while retaining the level of informed personal service that defined the original company. CRS has expanded its reserve to include Linx, HP, Universal, Microscan and Cognex among the many manufacturers whose products they will match to their clients’ needs.

In 2022, NW CoPackaging was formed as a separate branch to provide high-speed marking and labeling services, directly to local businesses.
