Pack-n-Tape's founder and President, Art Cerimele, has been supplying customers with packaging products since 1990. 

Over the years he's learned what it takes to satisfy a customer.  

Which, sometimes means going the extra mile - literally.

In the early 1990's, on a hot summer day in Columbus, OH, Art, then an employee of a local packaging supply company, received a call from a customer who had run out of packaging peanuts and therefore, were unable to ship any orders. With stock located over 100 miles away, his customer was facing a shut down situation. Art recognized the impact this could have on his customer and went to work exploring any and all options. Stock could be delivered the next day, but that wasn't good enough.  Art decide to purchase some product from a local competitor and strapped it onto the top of his car.  He recalls driving about 25 mph on back roads to his customers location. Needless to say his customer was extremely happy and was shipping packages with almost no down-time.

Art (on right) going the extra mile for his customer.

Art has instilled these same values in everyone here at Pack-n-Tape and our everyday activities.
