Educating Tomorrow’s Innovators
Polypack invests in the future by supporting educational initiatives that spark creativity and innovation. Partnering with local high school engineering programs, such as the Dunedin High School Robotics Team, and working with the University of South Florida’s School of Engineering, Polypack provides resources and mentorship to inspire students. These partnerships help young minds dream big and tackle real-world challenges, preparing them for bright careers in STEM fields.

Helping Hands for the Community
Polypack’s dedication to giving back extends to those who need it most. By supporting organizations like Kart 4 Kids, Suncoast Voices for Children, The Heart Gallery, Suncost Voices for Children, Broadrick Family Foundation and Cards for Kidz, Polypack helps improve the lives of disadvantaged children and their families. Whether it’s funding educational programs, supporting healthcare initiatives, or creating opportunities for underprivileged youth, Polypack is there to lend a helping hand.
When disaster struck during hurricane season, Polypack didn’t hesitate to step up. The company offered its land to the National Guard, providing a base for rebuilding efforts in the aftermath of the storm. This act of generosity helped ensure the community could recover more quickly and provided essential support for those affected.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Polypack’s team also took action, producing face masks to help protect frontline workers and those in need. This hands-on effort demonstrated the company’s commitment to not just making packaging—but making a difference.
Enriching Arts and Culture
By supporting organizations like The Dalí Museum, The Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, The Florida Orchestra Educational Programs, and the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum, Polypack ensures that art, music, and culture continue to thrive in Tampa Bay. These contributions not only inspire creativity but also strengthen the cultural identity of the region, bringing people together through shared experiences.
The Tampa Bay Automobile Museum, founded by the Cerf family, celebrates the innovation and history of automotive engineering. Home to rare and groundbreaking vehicles, the museum showcases advancements that have shaped transportation history. Notable exhibits include a fully functional replica of the 1770 Fardier de Cugnot, the world’s first self-propelled vehicle, and the Rainy Rolls, a modern recreation of Salvador Dalí’s famous "Rainy Taxi," engineered by Polypack and currently on loan to The Dalí Museum.
Through these initiatives, Polypack continues to support the arts, education, and innovation—ensuring that creativity and history remain an integral part of the Tampa Bay community.
A Culture of Giving Back
Polypack is proud to call Pinellas Park home and even prouder to give back to the community that has supported it for over 60 years. Whether through education, disaster relief, charity, or the arts, Polypack remains committed to making a meaningful impact.
Together, we’re packaging a brighter future.
