Tag Products Endure Tough Times

Trebnick uses Valeron, polyester and other synthetic materials to produce tags for livestock, lumber, postal bags, textiles, beams, decking and a multitude of other industrial applications.

However, tags are extremely versatile products and extend to many markets. Suzy Crowell, customer service supervisor at Ennis, pointed out that the company does a surprising volume of door hangers, including four-color process jobs, for apartment complexes. "The tags are used to welcome new residents, acknowledge birthdays, and note that the maintenance department has completed a repair or that pest control is coming," she said. Frequently ordered tag products at Ennis also include baggage tags, parking permits, shelf talkers, government-required occupational safety danger/warning tags, fire extinguisher tags, and Tyvek tags that are attached to carpeting, mattresses, pillows and furniture.
