originUnited States
manufacturedPrimarily in China, but also produced in other locations

Plackers is a leading brand in the oral care industry, best known for inventing and patenting the first dental floss pick. The brand was founded in the United States by Dr. James P. Wright, who sought to make flossing easier and more accessible for consumers. Today, it is a staple in many households worldwide, offering a variety of specialized flossers such as the Twin-line and Micro Mint versions.

The manufacturing of Plackers products typically takes place in China, where specialized facilities handle the production of the Super Tuffloss® fiber and recycled plastic handles. While the brand originated as a family-owned venture, it has undergone several acquisitions over the years. Currently, Plackers is a brand under the umbrella of Ranir, which itself was acquired by Perrigo Company plc, a major global provider of self-care products. This ownership structure places the ultimate management of the brand in Ireland, where Perrigo is headquartered.
