Our Capabilities

When UPPI started as a seven-employee shop in 1983, the company's goal was to provide a quality product with excellent customer service. While the corporation has grown from one small plant to a multi-facility operation employing over 100 people, this founding belief has not changed. With corporate headquarters based in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, and strategic joint venture manufacturing partners in Europe and Asia - UPPI has positioned itself to handle the demands placed on an industry leader. Our ability to maintain our position as an industry leader is the result of our conviction that each customer is the responsibility of every UPPI employee. Despite our size, your firm can take comfort in knowing that your packaging concerns will be a priority with UPPI. From our award winning team of designers to our young and exciting management team to our dedicated scores of employees, every job at Universal is treated as if it is the only job.
