The Chattanooga Packing Advantage

Built on Legacy, Driven by Innovation

‍
Led by the Third and Fourth generation of the Schmissrauter family, TPC brings more than 200 years of combined experience to the table. We’re one of North America’s strongest independent folding carton companies, continually investing in technology, talent, and innovation to fuel the next 100 years of excellence.

But why TPC, and why Chattanooga?

• Faster lead times and regional shipping advantages
• Personalized, customer-first service
• In-house environmental tracking for added quality assurance
• Over a century of expertise rooted in one of America’s most vibrant manufacturing cities
  

Let’s get into it.

Faster Lead Times, Smarter Solutions

‍We’ve reimagined our processes for speed and efficiency. Our Koenig & Bauer Rapida press cuts down on make-ready time, boosts output, and minimizes machine hours, all while delivering exceptional quality through single-pass printing. These streamlined, end-to-end packaging solutions result in faster turnaround and reduced time to market.

Packaging That’s Personalized‍

Our clients value our responsive service, hands-on design support, and willingness to collaborate on custom solutions. From first concept to final product, every detail reflects your brand’s excellence. The result is a package that stands out and delivers a message of product superiority.

Committed to Sustainability

‍
Environmental responsibility is built into every part of our operation. We track our carbon footprint using verified GHG metrics and partner with organizations like Greener Planet LLC, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative, and Printing Industries of America. Our goals are carbon neutrality by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050, ensuring sustainable packaging for generations to come.

Regional Shipping Advantages

‍
Located in the heart of the Southeastern U.S., our Chattanooga facility gives clients a powerful logistical edge. Our central-east location streamlines packaging and shipping in several key ways:

• Access to major transportation routes means faster, more flexible delivery options across the region.
• Shorter shipping distances reduce overall delivery times and lower freight costs—especially for the rigid and folding cartons we produce in-house.
  
• Consolidated production eliminates the need for multiple vendors and complex logistics chains.
• Reduced reliance on international shipping protects against global disruptions and delays.
• A more efficient supply chain supports sustainability, lowering emissions and increasing long-term reliability.
