Our business model is quite simple; provide high quality, cost-effective label solutions and exceptional customer service to our client base. To that end, Print-O-Tape has invested heavily in personnel, proprietary technology and processes to continually improve product quality and reduce cost. Our uniqueness stems from our complete vertical integration of operations.

Our Patented Adhesive and Silicone Coating operation offers wide web coating of both Hot Melt and Emulsion adhesives on both paper and synthetic substrates. This allows us to create the pressure sensitive materials used in our label manufacturing process.
