Tara Plastics

What Tara Plastics does

Tara Plastics Corporation is a US-based B2B manufacturer of flexible plastic films and reclosable zipper materials, founded in 1983 and headquartered at 175 Lake Mirror Road, Forest Park, Georgia. The company operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sigma Plastics Group and specializes in blown film extrusion technology, running five blown film extrusion lines (mono-layer and 3-layer co-extrusion, widths 10–80 inches, thicknesses 0.4–6 mil) and two string zipper profile extrusion lines producing reclosable profiles from 3.05mm to 3.55mm. All production runs on SQF-certified lines operating 24/7, with finished shipments approved by Production and Plant Managers after Quality Control verification.

The company's product portfolio spans four lines: Food & Grocery Packaging (frozen foods, seafood, meats, liquids, granules), Bag-on-Roll Packaging (pre-opened and slit-in-front configurations), Specialty Packaging (high-barrier, tamper-resistant, chemical, and Surlyn® applications), and Reclosable Packaging using a patented Seal Guides profile, a proprietary resin blend, and proprietary True-Wind winding technology. Tara Plastics serves food processing companies and converting plants throughout the United States via a sales-led go-to-market — prospects request contact through a website form segmented by interest area, and a sales representative follows up to quote custom-sized products. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales of custom-formulated films and reclosable zipper materials to enterprise B2B customers.

Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is negotiated through direct sales engagement. The company emphasizes consistency, food-safety certification, and compatibility with customer converting and form-fill equipment as core buying criteria. There is no disclosed headcount, revenue, or funding data, and no digital products, applications, or AI/ML capabilities are evidenced in the source material.

• Bemis Company (now Amcor): Legacy US flexible packaging manufacturer now part of Amcor, historically a major supplier of food-grade flexible films and reclosable packaging. Comparable in legacy customer relationships and food packaging product mix.
