History

Index Packaging, Inc. was founded in 1968 by Bill and Connie Lander in the basement of their home in New York with the invention of the Tip(N)Tell Shipping Indicator. Patent rights to the Drop(N)Tell Shipping Indicator were purchased in 1978. The company moved to its current location in Milton, NH in 1981 where the custom wood, foam, corrugated, and warehousing operations grew rapidly. In 1997, Bruce Lander succeeded his father as president. Bruce oversaw 400% growth of the business during his tenure as president. In 2002 Index Packaging acquired Timbertech, a recycled and hardwood pallet manufacturer out of Hooksett, NH. In 2014, Bruce retired and sales manager Mike Wiles took over the helm of the company as president. In 2020, the company underwent its largest expansion ever, purchasing a building and property in Dover, NH to accommodate future plans for growth and evolution. In 2021, Plastifoam Company, based in Manchester, NH was acquired from the Langer family, who had a longtime working relationship with Index Packaging. The acquisition added manufacturing capabilities in expanded polystyrene (EPS) and increased capacity in urethane and ethylene foam fabrication.
