Wisconsin-based Menasha Packaging, a company that produces shipping boxes, displays and packs, is closing its West Side plant and laying off 128 workers, a rare blip for Chicago’s robust industrial market. 
The 150K SF plant at 4545 West Palmer St. sits on about 3.5 acres just west of Logan Square. The plant closure and corresponding layoffs will take effect on Nov. 10, according to a data entry on the Illinois Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act list.
