Jack's Plastic Welding, Inc. (JPW) manufactures inflatable boats, dry bags, and paco pads. Our inflatable boats include: inflatable pontoon boats for fly fishing, catarafts (our Daddy Cat has been the most popular), paddle catarafts like the pack cat, and the fat pack cat, inflatable kayaks, and Self-Bailing Rafts. We also manufacture three basic models of frameless cataraft; the standard culebra, the culebra grande, and the outfitter culebra. Dry Bags and Paco Pads™ are still our best selling items. Our dry bags have a simple closure that works, and our pads are still the most comfortable and durrable.

All our products are made right here in the USA. We have real, 10 year warranties on our inflatable products that you can collect on, but probably will not have to. We are the only manufacturer that warranties their Dry bags and Paco Pads™
