Packaging: it’s in Our DNA

INSITE® is a new brand in the packaging equipment industry, but our history runs deep. If you look beyond the logo, the product and the people, you’ll notice that we’ve built this business upon the time-tested foundation of Douglas Machine Inc. For over 55 years, Douglas earned its reputation as a problem solver for the toughest packaging problems. Creative, customized, rigorously engineered, durably built secondary packaging machines have been — and still are — Douglas’ calling card. INSITE is harnessing that seasoned creativity and commitment to quality, and applying it to a fresh, streamlined approach for customers to access exceptional standardized packaging equipment.

  • Who We Are

    INSITE designs and builds advanced, streamlined equipment for the secondary packaging industry. We use smart, simple designs to improve performance, remove parts and eliminate complexity found in other packaging equipment. We approach your customer experience in precisely the same way: with a practical focus on delivering value – minus the noise. More than anything we respect and appreciate your time, from the first moment you visit our website through years of fully supported performance of your INSITE equipment.

  • True Customer Appreciation

    INSITE has a singular purpose: to appreciate your time through the design, creation, delivery and support of standardized secondary packaging equipment. We are constantly searching for more and improved methods to appreciate your time throughout your experience with us, from helping you gather information for your upcoming capital purchase to owning and operating our exceptionally reliable equipment.

“INSITE” represents our straightforward promise to bring clarity and understanding into the automated packaging industry, and deliver it to you when and where you need it most.

INSITE Support

You're Here

INSITE’s approach to the marketplace is enabled by a focus on standardized equipment. This focus frees us to seek economies of scale in both production and market engagement while giving you the access and control you expect when buying less customized equipment. Meanwhile, this focus also allows us to direct more resources toward our products while reducing or eliminating costs that you – our customers – shouldn’t have to incur when purchasing a standardized packaging machine.

All of this is our way of saying that we’re taking a slightly different path here at INSITE. And that path leads straight to you.
