Interact with Tharco daily. They have a good core of customer service reps and their sales rep are in general pretty well versed in packaging. There are hiccups here and there in terms of shipments and lead times, but in general they are good. I would give them too much detailed information on your end users as sometimes they will go direct.

Strengths: They have a huge collections of stock boxes and they are usually in stock. Along with this they have the ability to do custom projects that include corrugated and foam products. They do a lot of Redistribution of other items, but generally they tend to be expensive.

Needs to improve: They have a longer lead time than other corrugated companies.

Did not think we had a need for very sturdy cardboard paper boxes until a recent slew of products we rolled off our assembly line that were deceptively heavy for its small size. We reached out to Tharco as we did not want a plastic or metal based box for product quality and cost control reasons. Tharco came through with a relatively affordable and sturdy high fiber based box. Very pleased!

Strengths: The highest quality paper and fiber boxes in the market.

Needs to improve: None.

as a small company its nice to have a local box maker here. They have lots of stock boxes. and their prices are competitive.

Strengths: Good selection of stock boxes. Many of the boxes you can find on Uline, but can be much cheaper if you are local so you don't need to pay for freight

Needs to improve: They don't always deliver, and depending on which distributor you go thru, shipping can be an issue unless you are local.
