Cotton Bale Packaging

Langston Companies, Inc. is a staple of the cotton industry and remains committed to the continuation of U.S. cotton manufacturing. Over the years, Langston has established trustworthy relationships with supporting the national, state and local Cotton Associations. Our relationships are cultivated sincerely as we work side by side with our gin customers in the field through harvest.

The cotton packaging designed and manufactured by our team, provides the most protective covering available in the market.
