Scodix Customer Story - TPC Printing and Packaging
Hilda Murray, one of the owners of TPC Printing and Packaging in Chattanooga, Tennessee, represents a business her grandfather founded in 1924, still family-owned today. TPC’s relationship with Scodix goes back to drupa 2016, where the team first encountered the technology, describing it as an instant fit. The company has since had Scodix fully operational for several years.
The Solution
For TPC, Scodix isn’t a specialty add-on, it fits completely seamlessly into their existing workflow, running on a daily basis alongside their regular production. That everyday integration is what let the team move quickly from first exposure at drupa to consistent, reliable output, without disrupting how the business already operated.
The Result
TPC’s first carton run through the Scodix machine set the tone for what followed: a simple design, elevated by a high-rise polymer effect over a vat-dyed black substrate, finished with a soft-touch coating. Hilda Murray describes the result as very simple in concept but extremely, extremely impressive in practice, and the client response matched that: TPC reports the client absolutely loved it.
The Result: Simple Design, Extremely Impressive Effect
A single carton run showed TPC’s client exactly what daily Scodix production can do.
“It was very, very simple, but extremely, extremely impressive, and our client absolutely loved it.”
