Our offerings include Coverboard Book Panels and Spines, Foam Padded, Grooved and Slip Case Blanks. In addition to our cut to size product offerings, we also are a key distributor of sheet stock in a full range of calipers and grade choices.

Furniture Back panels
As a key supplier to the RTA furniture market, we focus on responsiveness and innovation. Our emphasis is on servicing large customers who require timely performance and support for their supply to national big box chains. Supplying die cut or cut scored back panels as well as unique products, outside the capabilities of larger competitors, has propelled our success. Our creative Wainscot panels, created with custom grooving for door fronts, back panel and semi-permanent display applications are an indicator of our outside the box thinking. We delight in doing what others cannot or will not do.

Packaging Products
At DCG, we excel in product development and innovation. Our standard products include printers chip and slip sheets in a range of calipers. In addition, we offer in line crease scoring and die cutting capabilities which cater to the custom packaging needs of our customers. We cannot show the next, newest product because it is still on the drawing board of our next prospect’s design team. If you can envision it, we’ll find a way to make it.

News
In April of 2018 Dedicated Converting Group purchased the assets of Phoenix Converting Company. Phoenix Converting was a long term independent paperboard convertor, started and operated by the Todd family, with particular capabilities in foam padded panels. With the acquisition, we were fortunate to employ many Phoenix employees representing untold years of proven expertise. Following the acquisition, our Union, MO operation was moved into the Phoenix facility, consolidating the two. This newly combined facility, matched with our existing capabilities in Plainwell, MI makes us one of the Nation’s preeminent independent paperboard producers. Our capabilities have expanded and are available across a broad range of board grades; providing our customers with responsiveness and value.
