Commercial Printer Does Packaging

Commercial start

Tepel Brothers was founded in 1989 by Jim and Harriet Tepel. The company specializes in high-impact work on plastic and synthetics for a diverse client base. It first got into packaging about ten years ago after buying a folder/gluer and a diecutter. "For a number of years we didn't make much more progress than just doing o-cards—pretty much straight-line folding and gluing and making boxes for DVDs," says Jim Tepel. "From there, some of the other clients we had would come to us with a consumer product like an air filter. They'd ask, 'Can you guys do that?' Well, yeah, we can. And it just slowly evolved."
