Christine Taylor Collection

What Christine Taylor Collection does

Christine Taylor Collection (CTC) is a U.S.-based visual merchandising company that designs, develops, and produces custom decor, fixtures, packaging, seasonal trim packages, and sewn and upholstered items for retail environments. Founded in 1990 by Christine Taylor to fill a gap in the retail industry for high-quality custom 3D products, the company operates from a Morton Grove, Illinois headquarters with additional offices in Fort Washington, Pennsylvania, and Hong Kong, China. Its core technology stack centers on custom 3D product design and development, 3D rendering for client visualization, integrated engineering and quality assurance, and end-to-end production, kitting, warehousing, logistics, and shipping. CTC serves as an extension of its clients' in-house creative teams, working consultatively alongside them to translate brand objectives into physical retail environments.

CTC operates as an enterprise B2B business serving major retail brands through direct sales relationships, with a published customer roster spanning department stores, specialty retail, e-commerce-native brands with physical retail, mass merchants, entertainment, and food/beverage verticals. Its commercial model is project-based, generating revenue through one-time custom design fees, production costs, and logistics/distribution services quoted on a per-project basis; pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company has no public SaaS, licensing, or subscription revenue component, and no digital product beyond digital inspiration guides published on Issuu.

In 2017, CTC was acquired by Bunzl PLC, a London-listed international distribution and services group operating across more than 30 countries. CTC operates as part of the Bunzl family alongside sister companies Keenpac (branded packaging with 40+ years of experience and global offices) and Bunzl Retail Services (BRS), enabling bundled offerings across visual merchandising, packaging, store supplies, and distribution. CTC reports 11-50 employees and does not publicly disclose revenue, funding rounds, or management team details beyond a general sales contact email and phone number.
