North Antrim DUP MLA Mervyn Storey said it was yet another blow to the town and sympathised with those involved.
“There’s a human story behind every job lost here,” he said.
“What worries me is that we don’t seem to be seeing any halt to the loss of jobs in the area.”
FastPak proprietor Brendan O’Kane confirmed the closure.
He said he did not wish to make any further comment at this stage.
