More About "Tape Wrangler"

Tape Wrangler is a certified Women’s Business Enterprise established in 2006 that designs & manufactures a family of products that are “Engineered to Work”. Our tape dispensers currently enjoy a market presence with several well known retailers. Our products out-perform the competition due to our superior design engineering. All Tape Wrangler products are proudly made in the USA.
Our current product offerings include 2 tape dispensers designed to cut, store & dispense heavy duty tapes such as duct tape, gaffer’s tape, Gorilla tape & the like. Known as the Tape Wrangler 700 and Tape Wrangler 700S; our dispensers are used broadly; but includes crafters, equestrians, professionals in HVAC & irrigation, handymen and garage enthusiasts.
Our flagship product, the Tape Wrangler ProSeal 200D is our newest offering. This innovative shipping tape gun revolutionizes the way we seal boxes and work with 2 inch shipping tape. It has many special features including an integrated 4 foot tape measure, a permanent marker and a box cutter knife. It also comes with a mounting bracket and is designed to both seal boxes and allow single piece tape dispensing. All this and it is 30% lighter than the tape guns of the past.
A quick visit to our website at www.tapewrangler.com will give you further product details on our existing offerings. Click on the movies and you will get a demonstration of how the products work and what makes their design superior to other products on the market.
Our request is for an investment of $500,000 to fund product expansion. We currently have three products ready to launch. These products complement our current offerings in the shipping tape space. The investment would fund injection mold tools and launch costs. We have completed the legal/patent filings and R&D to develop each product. We have working prototype models of each and have completed focus group/market testing. The three products are: a shipping tape gun for 3 inch tape; a 2 inch tape gun designed specifically for the moving & storage industry and a shipping station – an organizational tool for all of your shipping needs.
Thank you so much for the opportunity to present our investment needs. Please help us grow this business in 2009.
