About Us




Nalpak Group, a small, family owned business located in El Cajon, CA has an interesting history. In the late 1970’s Bob Kaplan, owner of Nalpak worked for a major motion picture sales and rental company. He was responsible for packaging equipment to be used on movie locations. While there were plenty of reusable cases for camera equipment, the only case available for tripods was a round fiberboard tube that did not last very long before it needed to be held together with duct tape. After researching the various plastic molding methods, he finds that rotationally molded items will be the most durable. Once the process was decided, he then designs a case that is hexagonal (so the case will not roll around) and with built in handles (for instant balancing). Thus the Tuffpak was born in the early 80’s. Today, we have more than 20 sizes and the Tuffpak is being used not only for tripods, but also for many Industrial, OEM and government projects as well for the sporting/hunting enthusiasts who want the ultimate protection for their guns and gear. 
 
It turns out that Bob along with his wife, Debbie found a niche and in the passing years, they’ve expanded the company’s product line to include reusable shipping/carrying cases, production carts, flashlights, knives, and outdoor gear. Our customers always ask, ‘what else can we buy from you?”
