Our Story

What began in 1951 as a small Louisiana paper operation has grown into a trusted name in American paper manufacturing. Founded by Albert and Noreen Ross, along with Millard Wallace, the company started with a vision of producing dependable, high-quality paper bags that businesses could count on every day.

Albert’s ingenuity led to the design and patenting of custom bag-making machines, laying the foundation for decades of innovation and craftsmanship.

Today, we operate from a 100,000-square-foot facility in Hammond, Louisiana, equipped with rail access and complete production capabilities. Our product line has expanded from merchandise bags to include grocery bags, heavy-duty sacks, and paper rolls—available plain or custom printed. For more than seventy years, Ross & Wallace has remained a company proudly built on quality, loyalty, and service that stand the test of time.

True to our family company roots, we are proud of our loyal staff some with decades of experience.  Our excellence in service, timeliness, and the quality of our products truly set us apart now as they have for three generations.
