P3 Distributing is an Oregon packaging company built on personal service and a commitment to doing better with the materials we sell.
Founded in 2016 by father and son Don and Patrick Caldwell, P3 started as Pat’s Pot Packaging, supplying child-resistant packaging to Oregon’s cannabis industry. As the industry grew, so did the amount of packaging waste. We saw an opportunity to do something about it.
Today, we help cannabis businesses find dependable packaging and provide the kind of hands-on service they can count on. When our customers need answers, products, or an order in a hurry, we’re here to help.
We also take responsibility for what happens after the sale. Through our recycling and reuse programs, our team works with local businesses, community partners, and more than 150 participating retail locations to recover materials that might otherwise be thrown away.
Together, we’ve kept hundreds of thousands of pounds of material out of the landfill, turning waste into useful resources and giving packaging another life. We’re proud to support Oregon cannabis and the communities we call home.
At P3, we know that the right packaging is only part of what keeps your business moving. You also need a team you can count on when you have a question, need help choosing a product, or need an order in a hurry.
Personal service. We answer the phone, work directly with our customers, and find solutions that fit your business.
Packaging when you need it. We provide dependable packaging and supplies, with same-day shipping available for orders placed by 1 p.m. and same-day delivery available when needed.
Responsibility beyond the sale. Our Oregon recycling and reuse programs give packaging a path back, helping businesses and communities keep valuable materials out of the landfill.
We’re proud to support the people and businesses that make Oregon cannabis what it is.
Oregon cannabis is built by people who care about what they create. We’re proud to work alongside the growers, processors, and retailers who make this industry what it is.
Your success matters to us. Whether you’re placing your first order or have been working with us for years, our team is here to help you find the packaging and support your business needs.
When our customers grow, we grow with them. That’s how we build a stronger Oregon cannabis community together.
When you return your packaging to a P3 DropBox, its journey isn't over.
The material collected by our retail and community partners comes back to our Milwaukie facility, where our team sorts it by hand and prepares it for its next life. We separate plastics, glass, metal, and other materials, and we grind eligible #5 plastic right here in our warehouse.
That’s what you’re seeing in the video: used bottles going into our granulator, ready to become material that can be made into something new.
We also clean and sanitize select glass jars for reuse, putting them back into circulation instead of treating them as single-use packaging.
It takes work, equipment, and people who care. Thanks to our team, our partners, and everyone who brings their packaging back, we’re building a better way to handle waste in Oregon.
