Mundelein, IL – Print-O-Tape, Inc., a long-time manufacturer of media for the air transportation sector, released their updated stock list.  The addition of RFID baggage tags and 5-mil boarding passes completes a full suite of products for use by gate agents and in self-service kiosks.   All pressure-sensitive materials are coated and converted at its Chicagoland facility.  The baggage tags’ face sheet and liners are engineered to work with any industry-standard thermal printer. Additionally, all layouts are designed to meet IATA Reso740 and RP1740 (when applicable) for Common Use Systems.

“As early as 1997, Print-O-Tape launched a program for ground handlers, smaller airlines, and airports to have quick, reliable access to cost-effective tags,” said Carl Walliser, CEO, Print-O-Tape, Inc. “Through our work with many different clients, we saw there were obstacles which made sourcing tags cumbersome for the user groups and purchasing personnel.  We responded by providing a stock tag solution which has been of great benefit to hundreds of clients.”

“Before the creation of Print-O-Tape’s stock program for air transportation media, every baggage tag purchased was a custom made tag.  Custom manufacturing certainly has its place and benefits, but in small quantity, this can be costly, and also requires many days for a job to get to press.  Our program has saved our customers time and money. We have also made generic baggage tags and boarding passes a same-day shipment product line.” said Jon Barrere, Vice President of Sales, Print-O-Tape, Inc.

“Our stock program is now inclusive of 8 different products.  The inclusion of standard and RFID tags addresses the growing needs of companies worldwide that are using or providing boarding passes and baggage tags.  Print-O-Tape will continue to lead the market and seek ways to add value to our product through the services we provide,” said Walliser.

Mundelein, IL – Print-O-Tape, Inc., a manufacturer of pressure sensitive labels and materials announced today the introduction of its “Wash Away”, water dissolvable pressure sensitive label material.  Under most conditions, this earth-friendly water soluble product will wash away completely in under 30 seconds, leaving behind absolutely no residue.  The 3 mil paper based face sheet offers outstanding flexographic, thermal transfer, laser and digital inkjet printability.  The paper is combined with Print-O-Tape’s ED emulsion dissolvable adhesive and laminated to a 40# siliconized liner using the company’s patented tandem coating process.

“We see a great deal of potential in our Wash Away product line,” said Jon Barrere, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Print-O-Tape, Inc.  “We’ve already seen strong sales in the Food Service and Food Safety arenas and have found niche applications in retail and pharma, anywhere where clean, simple and thorough label removability and disposal is desired.”

“Historically, dissolvable labels and materials have had a very short shelf life.  Our vertical integration and just-in-time manufacturing and converting has allowed us to double normal life cycles.” said Ron Cuba, Vice President of Operations, Print-O-Tape, Inc. “Through months of development, we are now prepared to offer Wash Away dissolvable labels that will rival any competition in the current marketplace. Although these products were originally developed for our own printed label customers, the cost effectiveness of these Wash Away materials has proven attractive to our many “friendly” competitors in the label printing arena.”

“We intend to market these products aggressively to printed label end-users and other label printers looking reduce costs,” said Barrere.

As printed label margins continue to erode, we have benefited from the competitive advantage of manufacturing the materials required for our pressure sensitive label production.
