Custom converter: Tape slitting & die cutting, rubber sheeting, high temp masking caps & plugs. Custom designs also available. Most tapes are Made in USA.
@KeepitMadeinUSA Saw this post and thought it might mention @bridge_eli Eli Bridge Company in Jacksonville IL that still makes ferris wheels and other amusement rides in the U.S.
A tornado hit Kankakee IL yesterday. Viadon is 20 miles north, but most of us live in the Kankakee area. We're all fine - just a few damaged windows. But there was a lot of damage elsewhere. If you wish to do so, you can assist our community (see next post):
Best places to donate for Kankakee tornado relief include the Salvation Army Kankakee Corps (148 N Harrison), American Red Cross of Kankakee County, and local organizations like Fortitude Community Outreach. Monetary donations are preferred to provide immediate, flexible aid.
@KeepitMadeinUSA We slit and die cut American-made tapes every day! They get used in lots of processes, but largely for masking in powder coating, anodizing, plating and wet painting. And we are proud to feature our "Made in the USA" banner on every page for the tapes that are American-made.
We don't just provide the products you need. We also offer tools so you can choose the RIGHT masking tool for the job.
Our latest: A chart of common thread sizes with all the plugs that will work for either blind holes or thru-holes.

This is a lot of the reason why we carry American-made tapes.
Buy American-made, sell American-made... it supports America.
(Also, the quality is superior. And our pricing? Competitive.)
For short run jobs, one-off shapes or even large ongoing masking needs, sometimes making your own custom or standard shapes is the way to:
1) decrease turnaround time
2) improve efficiency and
3) eliminate tooling costs

This time of year, our thoughts turn gratefully to our customers, partners, and suppliers who make our success possible. We thank you for all that you do and wish you all the best this holiday season and beyond.
Ever sent a question to a company thru their online "Contact Us" form/email & it took days to hear back - assuming you even got a reply?
Sadly, that's the norm.
NOT WITH US! We typically reply in <30 minutes during business hours.
Shouldn't everyone?

When your products are often seen as commodities, it can be hard to stand out.
That's why most of the tapes we carry are American-made.
And we respond to emails in minutes - not days.
Plus, a real person picks up the phone during the day - no automated receptionist here.

Because it's not just about great products - it's about working to get them to you intact, through conditions outside of our control (like drop kicks through shipping warehouses... probably).
Another reason why Viadon is A Cut Above.
Did you know a single SCE-118-236 silicone expandable cap can mask ALL the following thread sizes?
6-32
M4
8-32
10-24
M5
M6
1/4-20
It's true! How is that possible? Give us a call - we have lots of great insight on low-cost masking solutions.

Not only can we make small quantity custom die cuts on our plotter-cutter for samples, prototypes or short runs of parts to be masked we also can provide the material if you would like to cut your own if you have a vinyl cutter or plotter in-house.
