About Our Company

In 1980, after recognizing a local need for a shipping supply distributor, Liz and Dick Uihlein started Uline from their basement with one product – a carton sizer. It sold far beyond their expectations and encouraged the Uihleins to add more products to the catalog the following year.

Uline has steadily grown since and continues to be a family owned and run business. The product line has expanded to include 15,000 industrial and packaging materials, including over 1,000 box sizes. The Uline catalog reaches businesses nationwide, offering thousands of products with quick delivery and outstanding service.

Uline has distribution centers just outside Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Minneapolis and NYC/Phila. In addition, a satellite location in Tijuana, Mexico opened in 2001 followed by Toronto, Ontario Canada in 2008.
