TuffyPacks: Lab Tested, Parent Trusted

TuffyPacks was founded with a simple but urgent mission: to provide an added layer of protection in an unpredictable world. The idea for our company was born at a pivotal time in my life—my wife was pregnant with our first child, and my former business partner’s daughter had just graduated with a teaching degree. As we looked at the rising threat of school shootings, we knew we had to do something. We created TuffyPacks to give parents, students, teachers, and everyday individuals a discreet, effective way to stay protected.


Our ballistic shields are designed to meet Level IIIA threat requirements, offering the same level of protection trusted by law enforcement. Each shield is lightweight, removable, and tested by an independent ballistic lab to ensure reliability when it matters most. Made from high-quality ballistic PE material, our panels provide defense against handgun bullets, fragments, and even stabbing threats. They’re die-cut, moisture-resistant, and built with durability in mind, ensuring long-lasting protection. At TuffyPacks, we believe in being prepared—because safety shouldn’t be left to chance.

By layering our ballistic material we meet and exceed our Level IIIA lab testing requirements. Additionally, we seal our ballistic material in a UV proof water resistant nylon cover to extend the life of the panel.
