Dear Friends ,
It seems that about twice a year its necessary to raise at least some of our prices. I'm afraid that it is that time again. The good news is that the increase covers only a small part of our catalog and there are options for those of you who think that this is an unacceptable increase. The price increase covers only Permacel 665 gaffers tape.
We have been selling Permacel 665 gaffers tape for many years and it is the first choice for many of our long time customers. Its a great utility grade gaffers tape.
Unfortunately, Shurtape, the company that bought the Permacel brand in the fall of 2004, is out of step with the rest of the industry on this price increase. At the time of the announcement oil prices were at a point lower than they have been in a year and cotton prices were at their lowest point in 18 months. These are the two primary raw materials in this product. There does not appear to be any good justification for the rise in prices and other manufacturers of gaffers tape have not followed along.
If you have been a purchaser of Permacel 665 in the past and think that the price has risen unreasonably, we invite you to give Pro Gaffer gaffers tape a try. It has identical specifications to 665 and our "hands on" experience with this product has been very satisfactory. Its available in lots of colors and widths.
Most important, Pro Gaffer (like everything else we sell) is offered with a "SATISFACTION GUARANTEED" promise. If it fails to meet your expectations, we will either refund your money or provide an alternative product.
Thank you for your continued loyalty.
Jeff Harrison

Tip of the Day.
 Sometimes tape isn't the best solution for the problem.
Try OneWrapStraps and tie line when you want to be able to do the same job over and over again. They're reusable.
