That is why our strategy is to design narrow elastics and rigid tapes that are consistent with our customer’s brand promises, enabling both them and us to remain ahead of the market curve” said Andrew Dreher, Senior Vice President.

In-house package dyeing will improve lead time, speed to market and custom color flexibility in both the product development and manufacturing areas.
