Dyna-Pak

What Dyna-Pak does

Dyna-Pak Corporation is a privately held, family-owned plastic bag manufacturer founded in 1979 and headquartered at 112 Helton Drive, Lawrenceburg, Tennessee. The company operates a single-site integrated production facility comprising 16 extrusion lines, 15 bag machines, 60,000+ square feet of warehousing, and an on-site ASTM-certified laboratory for impact, tear, melt index, coefficient of friction, density, and clarity testing. Its core product line spans trash bags, recycling bags, yard waste bags, stock can liners, Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) bags, medical waste bags, flexible packaging, and biodegradable options, with consumer retail sub-brands including BEST BUY, CUT N'COVER, Deco, HIGH N'MIGHTY, Full CIRCLE, and VALU-PAK. Dyna-Pak also runs an in-house reprocessing operation that densifies and repelletizes over 10-15 million pounds of LDPE and LLDPE post-industrial and post-consumer film scrap annually into reusable resin.

The company sells through a sales-led, direct phone-based go-to-market motion centered on a toll-free number (1-800-759-DYNA), supplemented by its corporate website, with volume-based price breaks across six quantity tiers and freight-prepaid terms on orders of 100+ cases for waste management products. It maintains over 20 million bags in stock for immediate fulfillment and also offers custom sizing, gauge, and printing. Customers include U.S. municipalities implementing PAYT programs, institutional and industrial buyers (healthcare, schools, industrial operations), retail consumers purchasing branded SKUs, and at least one large national waste hauler served via co-branded products. The company is ISO 9001 certified by QMI-SAI Global and operates 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.

Dyna-Pak generates revenue primarily through plastic bag manufacturing and sales, with a secondary revenue stream from purchasing and reprocessing third-party film scrap into reusable resin. Its revenue model is hardware sales dominant, with quote-based and usage-based pricing tied to volume tiers and pay-per-bag options. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent company, institutional investors, funding rounds, or acquisition activity in the available data.
