Our Heritage

Twenty years ago, we entered this industry under the name, Design Packaging Concepts. About 15 years ago, we changed our name to the Damage Prevention Company to better reflect our mission of providing the best solutions for in-transit damage. Throughout our history, we have provided customers with the expert design and implementation of load securement solutions to protect their products in transit. Today, we are known as DPC and want to move forward with a name that not only keeps our legacy of customer service in mind, but with a name that will be easier for our customers to recall in the marketplace.
