I reached out to Continental Tape Printers after multiple shipping delays with another tape manufacturer. Eric was able to have my order processed within the day and promised a 2-week delivery time. Just over a week later, I received a call that my tape was on the way. I could not be more impressed with the level of service and the rapid turnaround time provided by CTP. It is difficult to find companies who put customer service at their core, so it was incredibly refreshing to come across this one. Thank you Eric and your team for making this purchase so effortless. I look forward to working with

I am very happy to work with this USA company. Mike and Eric always are quick to respond. I never had any issues with any orders that we have placed. They provide the best Customer Care experience and are genuine people. Even though we do not place 100 orders a year, they do not treat us different and go above and beyond. Definitely would recommend to any company looking to diversify themselves with quality products.

Every little step of the process was a breeze. Eric and Mike are both very responsive, they always have the right info and are very helpful with any questions. We ordered personalized tape and it turned out fabulous. Everyone here was excited when they saw the result. This was our first order and we will be returning for sure.
