TPC Packaging Solutions History

TPC Packaging Solutions is a privately held and family-owned company with a proud heritage of innovation and growth. When we were founded, our primary focus was on distributing pressure-sensitive tapes. To generate an initial account base, we mailed product cards to prospects across all 50 states. Today, we have evolved into one of the nation’s largest independent distributors of pressure-sensitive tapes, stretch film, packaging materials, and packaging equipment. With nearly 100 employees nationwide, we operate four regional distribution centers.
