Matching A Customer's ULine Tape and Saving 30%

Written by Consolidated Printing Supplies | Jun 6, 2025 5:43:41 PM

At Consolidated Printing Supplies, we believe customers shouldn’t have to overpay for the supplies that keep their business moving. That’s why we specialize in matching—and often improving upon—existing materials from big-name suppliers like Uline.

Recently, a customer approached us with a request: Could we match the performance and specifications of the industrial tape they were buying from Uline—while reducing their cost?

The answer: Absolutely.

✅ Tape Match Without Compromise

The customer provided a sample of their current Uline general-purpose carton sealing tape. Our team reviewed the tape’s adhesive strength, thickness, core diameter, and performance across temperature ranges. Using our network of trusted converters and material suppliers, we matched the Uline product spec for spec.

The result? A near-identical tape—produced with the same durability and stick, but at a significantly lower price point.

💰 Delivered at 30% Less Than Uline

By sourcing directly and avoiding inflated brand markups, we were able to provide the customer with the same quality tape at a 30% discount. For companies using hundreds of rolls per month, that equates to thousands of dollars in annual savings.

📦 Seamless Switch, No Downtime

Worried about compatibility or re-training warehouse staff? There was no need. The customer was able to seamlessly substitute our tape into their packing lines without any changes to their equipment or process.

Why Make the Switch from Uline?

  • Significant Cost Savings
    Our customers often save 20–40% on common consumables like labels, tapes, and ribbons.

  • Same or Better Quality
    We rigorously test all matched products for consistency and performance.

  • Tailored Support
    Our team works directly with you to understand your current supplies and build better solutions—no generic one-size-fits-all.
