TriState Tape and Label

What TriState Tape and Label does

TriState Tape and Label Co., Inc. is a custom label printing and specialty tape company founded in 1968 and headquartered at 351 Railroad Ave, Beverly, NJ. The company produces custom printed labels, tapes, and specialty documents for manufacturing and product companies, industrial and commercial businesses, and regulated sectors including food and medical device labeling. It operates as an authorized converter and reseller of 3M components and tapes, with additional distribution relationships through Pro-Tape, Shurtape, and Intertape. The company emphasizes a broad product catalog covering niche specialty labels and tape products that few competitors carry, supported by proprietary adhesives developed since founding.

The company's production technology spans digital, flexographic, offset, foil stamp, silkscreen, and thermal printing, with up to six-color capability, multiple webs and sheeting options, and standard industry color matching and tight registration. Converting capabilities include die-cutting, laminating, rewinding, sheeting, slitting, embossing, serial numbering, perforating, scoring, and custom affixing. FDA-approved ink systems support direct or indirect food contact and medical device applications. Production is operated by pressmen with over 50 years of combined experience, an explicit differentiator in the company's positioning.

TriState Tape and Label serves customers nationwide from its single Beverly, NJ facility using a direct, phone-led sales motion with quote-based pricing. The company advertises rush-order availability, a price-beat guarantee against competitor quotes, and turnkey project execution. Its marketing footprint is minimal — a company website, toll-free phone number, and organic social presence on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn — consistent with an SMB operating in a relationship-driven B2B niche. No disclosed revenue, funding rounds, M&A activity, leadership hires, or digital product platform are present in the available data.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Broad incumbents

• CCL Industries: World's largest specialty label company serving healthcare, consumer, and industrial markets. Comparable end-markets, but operates at enterprise scale far above TriState and through global manufacturing footprints.
• 3M (Industrial Adhesives and Tapes Division): Diversified industrial manufacturer with a large specialty tape and converting portfolio. Already a TriState supplier, but its broader direct presence in specialty tapes makes it a partial overlap in the industrial tape segment.
• Avery Dennison: Global leader in pressure-sensitive labels and packaging materials. Operates at vastly greater scale, but its exit from low-volume custom work leaves TriState to serve the underserved long tail of specialty label demand.

Direct peers

• Fox River Label: Custom label converter with emphasis on specialty and complex jobs including FDA-compliant labels — a comparable small-to-mid custom label shop serving similar regulated and specialty markets.
• Resource Label Group: Multi-site custom label and packaging converter serving CPG, healthcare, and industrial customers. Comparable in custom label production capabilities, though typically operating at greater regional scale than TriState.
• Coast Label Company: Long-standing custom label printing company focused on short-run, complex jobs with multiple converting capabilities — directly comparable in scale, customer type, and service model to TriState.
• Consolidated Label: Custom label printer offering digital and flexographic printing with broad converting services; a closely aligned direct peer serving similar customer types with comparable offerings.

Emerging players

• Sticker Mule: Online-native custom label and sticker platform with instant quoting and digital ordering. Captures the same end-customer demand for custom short-run labels but via a self-serve digital model rather than phone-based quotes.
• SheetLabels.com: Online specialty of label sheets for inkjet and laser printers. Targets small business and craft users — an adjacent customer base to TriState's smaller custom label orders but competes through a digital-first model.
• OnlineLabels.com: Direct-to-customer online label retailer offering blanks and custom printing. Overlaps with TriState's small-business and specialty label customers but competes primarily on digital convenience and price.
