About Us
As one of the nation's leading time capsule manufacturers, Future Packaging & Preservation has earned an industry-wide reputation for consistently delivering exceptional service and quality design and production on project ranging from small artists in Berkeley, California to Federal Courthouse projects nationwide.
We provide superior time capsules for architects, construction engineers, and government (whether municipal or state or federal), and we provide affordable stainless steel time capsules for individuals, schools, and small businesses and groups.
We distribute products made by archival suppliers and package them in small quantities for our customers.

"The professionalism of Future Packaging, the great customer service and the concerted effort put forth to get the time capsule to me quickly made preserving a great piece of Chicago's baseball history easy and also went a long way in making our event a success. I highly recommend this company and their product." --- Brian A. Bernardoni, Director of Government Affairs, Chicago Association of REALTORS®, IL (2009)
"We are thrilled with the time capsule. It was just the right size and the directions for sealing were very easy to follow. The preservation kit provided enough supplies to handle the wide range of items we stored. We are confident that our items will emerge in good condition in 50 years when the capsule is scheduled to be opened for our 200th anniversary. Thanks for helping make this "once in a lifetime" experience so memorable." --- Beth Halleck, UIV Advancement, Winona State University, Minesota (2009)
