We make it. We cut it. We answer the phone.

  1. We make it You are buying from the plant. The material is extruded and converted here, so the spec, the run and the lead time are ours to answer for, not a supplier's.
  2. We cut it Off-the-shelf sizes make you pay for material you do not need and still crush what you ship. Ours is converted to the weight, fragility and shape of the part.
  3. We answer the phone A person who already knows your account, and who can still change a live order. No menu, no queue, no recordings.

A box is not protection. What goes in it is.

Founded on packaging experience.

PBE, LLC was founded in Houston, Texas in 2006 by brothers Paul and Brendan Peyton, on their combined 50+ years in the packaging industry. What began as a brokering company representing other manufacturers became direct manufacturing in 2013. We have engineered and converted our own materials ever since.

Today we operate from Houston alongside branches in Austin, Dallas, Jacksonville and El Paso, serving manufacturing, construction, technology, oil & gas and e-commerce companies across the country. When you call during business hours, a person picks up.

What customers say

(in their words)

  • PBE is a true partner and has played a huge part of our success. Their flexibility, industry experience and service are unmatched!

    Caitlin CorkillPBE LLC Customer

  • I was genuinely impressed. We ship a lot of oddly shaped, fragile stuff and nothing has protected it this well before. It just works, every single time.

    Marcus T.Warehouse Operations Manager, E-Commerce Company

  • Every single order is exactly like the last one. After years of dealing with suppliers who couldn't manage that, it's honestly a relief, and it's made our line run so much smoother.

    Angela R.Operations Manager, Manufacturing Company

  • I call and a real person picks up who already knows our account. It sounds small until you've dealt with the alternative. I actually enjoy calling them, which says a lot.

    David P.Procurement Manager, Retail Company

  • We got quotes from four different suppliers and PBE came in the best on price by a good margin, and the material was actually better than what we were using before. Didn't expect both.

    Priya S.Shipping & Logistics Supervisor, Distribution Company

  • They turned around a last minute order faster than anyone we've worked with, and the pricing on top of that made it an easy decision to stick with them.

    Jason W.Distribution Center Manager, Fulfillment Company

  • We had an oddly sized product that nothing off the shelf fit right. PBE actually took the time to figure it out with us instead of pushing their standard stuff on us, and it fits perfectly now.

    Maria G.Packaging Line Supervisor, Packaging Company

  • The difference has been huge honestly. We used to toss out a chunk of every shipment because it looked beat up, and that basically doesn't happen anymore.

    Tom H.Operations Supervisor, Warehouse Company

  • Great pricing, simple ordering, and everything shows up exactly as quoted. We switched to save money and ended up staying because it's just easy.

    Lauren K.Warehouse Operations Manager, Online Retail Company

  • We've gone through a handful of suppliers over the years and PBE is genuinely the best one we've worked with. Good pricing, good product, no headaches. Wish we'd switched sooner.

    Robert C.Operations Manager, Industrial Company
