What SeaCa Packaging does

SeaCa Packaging is a family-owned designer, developer, and manufacturer of packaging products headquartered in Dinuba, California, with additional distribution and assembly facilities in Stockton, Delano, and Lamont, and a sister plastics plant in Surprise, Arizona. The company is part of the Seattle-Tacoma Box Company family under sixth-generation Nist family ownership dating to 1889, and was formed as a California corporation in 1991 to serve agricultural and seafood markets across the West Coast. Its product portfolio spans high-graphic corrugated packaging (produced on a 110' Fosber corrugator with flexo folder gluers, rotary die cutters, and a cascade waxer), food-contact-grade polypropylene corrugated packaging marketed as a sustainable alternative to wax boxes, digital printing on plastic substrate via an HP Latex R2000 98-inch printer, and traditional wood packaging, supported by in-house structural design and graphic services plus onsite assembly in customer facilities.

The business operates on a quote-based, multi-year contract model with direct sales representatives covering enterprise and mid-market customers in fresh produce, seafood, nursery, and industrial segments. Differentiators include 130+ years of family packaging expertise, one of the largest independent corrugated footprints in the US, SFI Chain of Custody and AIB Food Safety certifications, a 45% recycled paper furnish, zero water discharge operations, and a closed-loop PP collection program targeting 25% post-consumer resin content. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; plastics have grown 35-40% annually since 2015, while the core corrugated business is anchored by long-tenured customer relationships across the West Coast, Alaska, Hawaii, and portions of the Rocky Mountain region.
