It was back in 1902 that Morris Sukoff and his young wife Ettie began their careers in the art of box making. With Mrs. Sukoff's previous experience handcrafting paper boxes in a factory, the young couple opened up the business as a means of earning a living. The first real sale was made by Mrs. Sukoff - an order for personalized cigarette boxes from a tobacco company. As the demand increased, their operation expanded from the kitchen to the basement and they adopted the name Imperial Paper Box Corporation. With an investment of $2000 the Sukoffs went on to expand their fledgling enterprise into one of the leading producers of setup boxes today.

Specialists in every respect, we have produced a variety of setup, vacuum-formed, acetate and PVC boxes of highly distinctive design. These have included multi-tiered jewel boxes complete with velvet lined drawers, hinged covers and locks, as well as packaging for perfume, cosmetics, pipes, cigarettes, liquors, pharmaceuticals, books and video games.

In the mid 1940's we became heavily involved in the record industry, manufacturing jackets and box albums for most of the major companies, including Columbia (now SONY), RCA, and Decca (now Universal/MCA). Many of Imperial's packages, such as those for MILES DAVIS, PINK FLOYD, and AEROSMITH, have been Grammy Award nominees and winners. We have also received citations from the AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION and others for creative packaging that contributed to fundraising both on radio and television.

We have come a long way since our conception in the gaslight era. With our company still based in Brooklyn, NY we now ship a variety of products worldwide. We have provided all of our customers with a century of excellence.
