Our History

Founded in 1944

On September 01, 1944, Abraham Rutt founded the Keystone Paper & Box Company in Hartford, Connecticut.

In the early years, the company distributed shirt boxes and other supplies to the laundry industry.

Previously, Abraham had founded the Standard Paper Company in 1915.

After World War II

After World War II, Abraham’s son, Melvin Rutt, returned from military service to join the family business.

Soon after, the growing company discovered it was more efficient and economical to make boxes rather than buy them. Since then, Keystone’s primary focus has been the design and manufacture of folding cartons.

Continuing to Thrive

Today Abraham’s grandson, James Rutt, proudly helps to lead Keystone’s business development and growth efforts, and is joined by his brother Daniel. The company continues to thrive into its third generation.

At Historic Warehouse Point in East Windsor

As Keystone has grown over the years, so have our needs for space and technology. For many, many years Keystone operations were housed in a renovated 19th century mill building in the historic Warehouse Point section of East Windsor, Connecticut.

Now in South Windsor

In early 2008, we moved our offices and manufacturing facility to a more spacious, state-of-the-art location in South Windsor, Connecticut where we have continued to grow to meet the needs of our customers. Between both buildings operated by Keystone, we have over 100,000 square feet of warehousing and manufacturing space.

Our Sustainability Efforts

Preserving our natural resources, as well as the environment, are top concerns for businesses and consumers in today’s marketplace. B2B and B2C consumers are seeking products that are verified to be environmentally friendly and sustainable.

For the printing industry that means developing sustainable business practices that allow management of the products we use in our manufacturing processes which originate in our nation’s forests: paper, board and other pulp products.

Keystone Paper and Box believes in “chain of custody” knowledge assuring our customers that all our manufacturing products have been produced with wood or fiber sourced from a properly and responsibly managed forest.

We understand that those organizations able to verify the source of their paper packaging products will possess a competitive edge in the marketplace. And we are committed to providing that level of sustainable business practice, expertise and products to our customers.
