Around here, we know there’s more than one way to say “Thanks, Mom.”
Sometimes it’s a song. Sometimes it’s a meal. Sometimes it’s showing up, calling home, or making sure everyone is eating well.
We asked our team how their culture or heritage celebrates moms—and the answers were pure Ernest heart.
Happy Mother’s Day. 💐
Our Power. Our Planet. 🌎
Our Actions. Our Impact.
Our Choices. Our Future.
We don’t just talk about it! We DO it.
Every year, our divisions show up in their local communities, taking action where it’s needed most. Real impact starts local. 💚

How was the world’s first cardboard acoustic jazz guitar made? We stayed honest with ourselves, natural with the materials and raw with the sound. And just like jazz, this improvisation has nothing to hide. Check out the full video of our collab with Signal Productions and @echoparkguitars on e+ at the link in our bio.
Cardboard Chaos is back and we’ve never been truer to our name. Because chaotic is an understatement when we set out to make our most unfiltered and natural creation to date: an arch-top, electric acoustic guitar out of cardboard. We partnered with famed guitar builder Gabriel Currie from @echoparkguitars at his Detroit shop to make the impossible happen once again.The materials were totally natural. The construction was from the heart. And the entire experience was like jazz itself: pure improvisation.

When you get a guitar builder like Gabriel Currie from Echopark Guitars who’s created for the likes of Steven Tyler and Josh Homme, you’re in the presence of greatness. See how the Ernest Cardboard Chaos Echopark jazz acoustic came to life through his raw, unfiltered approach to creativity and beauty.

Here at Ernest, we pride ourselves on our humble beginnings — but we’d be lying if we said we weren’t pretty darn excited when our local news station turned up for our 80th birthday bash last month. As the oldest independent packaging business in the country, achieving this milestone is a big deal. Huge, in fact. Which is why we pulled out all the stops, throwing a totally rad 80s themed party that featured old school arcade games, an 80s-style roller-skating rink and a giant outdoor tent where we served lunch from Ruby’s Diner to everyone in their retro gear.
The flashy costumes (did we mention Tim and Brian wore matching track suits?) weren’t the only thing that attracted the media’s attention. As part of the ABC7 Salutes segment honoring veterans, the news story focused not only on our company’s landmark achievement of thriving (and growing) for eight decades, but also on our founders, Ernest and Chuck Wilson, and their legacy of service, sacrifice and family. (Fun fact: Chuck Wilson was also featured on this segment two years ago when he turned 99.)
We couldn’t be prouder of what they called our “success story born from the values of two WW2 vets.” We also want to give a big shout out to every customer, vendor and E-Teamer who’s helped us get here — we couldn’t have done it without you! In case you missed it, here’s the ABC7 Salutes segment in all its glory. Join us in saluting Chuck and Ernie, who started it all. What an honor it is to carry on their legacy of building a business based on personal relationships. May we all make them proud.
