Atlantic Packaging's history dates back to 1946, celebrating over 80 years of spirit, performance, and integrity. The company began as a small-town weekly newspaper, the Tabor City Tribune, which was awarded the Pulitzer Prize after a two-year campaign of editorials fighting the prejudice and violence promoted by the KKK. The newspaper publishing expanded into printing, paper converting, and office products distribution, serving the demands of flourishing industrial trades and the coastal resorts of the Grand Strand. Industrial supplies were later added to serve the textile industry's migration into the Southeast. Rusty Carter joined the business full time in 1971, beginning a greater emphasis on industrial markets, and Atlantic opened its first regional branch in Wilmington, expanding its focus on packaging equipment and material specialties. The company now operates numerous branch locations across the Southeast and Midwest.
Atlantic Packaging of Summerville stands among the strongest in its category locally, with a legacy of innovation and environmental stewardship that has shaped its approach for over eight decades. The company's commitment to reducing packaging footprints through technical optimization while delivering circular, effective, and balanced materials reflects its belief that the packaging supply chain can evolve to be net positive for the planet.
