Since our founding, it has been our mission to provide a source of reliability to our loyal customers. With so much uncertainty in the world right now, we know the importance of dependability. We want to provide one less thing for you to have to worry about through these turbulent times. That is why our goal will be to continue providing you with the best, most consistent customer service in the industry.

In 1972, Stephen Quill created Ecological Fibers to supply binders’ board and book manufacturing materials to the publishing industries. There, we quickly grew to incorporate our now signature line of Rainbow® Kraft cover materials which helped us become the primary distributor of book cover materials in the United States.

Our start in publishing has provided us the opportunity to succeed in living up to the most strict and demanding lead times that can be found in our industry. Success in this field has been driven by consistency and reliability through our accumulation of inventoried material ready to be shipped around the globe with minimal delay.

From the start, Ecological Fibers has strived towards maintaining consistent standards across a number of fields in order to ensure customer needs and deadlines are met. The rigid deadlines required of supplying the top publishing companies in the world helped drive Ecological’s standards for lead times and customer service to the forefront of the industry.

More recently, we have ventured outside of the realm of the publishing community to provide our materials to such industries as the packaging, label and security document fields.

As Ecological grew to begin supplying fields outside of publishing, that promise to maintain exceptionally prompt service remained unwavering.

We have vowed to bring with us our original lead time standards which can typically be found only in the publishing industry. This prompt delivery and service was a groundbreaking development to the luxury packaging community, and has helped revolutionize box manufacturing from the ground up.

In order to continue our pledge of providing the best possible lead times, the consistent growth of our facilities is essential. In 2018, our Massachusetts location underwent a 75,000 sq/ft expansion. This recent enhancement to our storage facilities helps ensure a more efficient and time effective distribution of products to customers all over the world.

Each of our Rainbow® 70 and 80 colors, as well as many of our coated, uncoated, textile, PU and flocked materials are stored and ready to ship at a moment’s notice out of our Massachusetts and Rhode Island locations. This abundance of stock material enables us to continue providing an excellent customer experience from start to finish.

“I’ve been here for 20 years. Since then, the Massachusetts plant has doubled in size, and the plant in Rhode Island has increased about 50 percent. We’ve come a long way.”
-Dave Robbins, Senior Vice President of Sales-
