Transcontinental Packaging

Our story

A premier company in the flexible packaging industry.

Transcontinental Packaging is a fully integrated supplier, with our core product being FIBCs (bulk bags), pouches and roll stock films. As a top-ranked, global leader in flexible packaging, we have been serving the United States for over fifteen years.

The people behind the spec.

A small team you can reach directly, no call centre between you and the person who owns your order.

Rahul Patel

Rahul Patel

Chief Executive Officer

Rahul leads Transcontinental Packaging from Houston, where the North American operation is run. His focus is the part of the business a customer actually feels: contracted capacity standing behind every order, stock held on the customer's own continent, and a bag specified for the load rather than picked off a shelf.

He works alongside the sales and operations leads on the accounts that need a build instead of a catalogue number, and on the long-running stock programs behind them.
