Our factories in Japan offer total support for a variety of labeling materials from planning to production and logistics, with a variety of products, small lots, and short delivery times.

Label project designs are created by a specialist design team in line with the requirements of our customers. Products at each factory like Maruoka Plant are manufactured by professionals from sample size to mass production, and we print the required information on tags and care labels at our print factories in Japan and overseas, notably at our Mikuni Print Center, the largest such facility in Japan, and deliver them to a location of your choice.

We are also aggressively working to develop products that utilize new technology for such purposes as the next generation certification system of IC chips (RFID) and multilingual quality display labels.

Mikuni Print Center

Maruoka Plant is a production factory located in the Maruoka district of Fukui City, not far from our Mikuni Production Base. It manufactures various types of narrow fabric tape. It is engaged in high quality, small lot manufacturing with short delivery times, and its particular focus is on woven labels that act as the face of a brand.

It is also capable of a wide range of weaving and post-processing, and is also engaged in the production of various made to order tapes as well as name labels.

We have several labeling related overseas production and sales bases concentrated in China, including Hong Kong, and also in Vietnam and Bangladesh. Each base supports local arrangements for the Japanese market and also has a great sales record in the European and North American markets.

Yokohama Tape Industries became part of the Sankei Group in 2013, bringing with it a track record of more than 30 years in the business of labeling materials for Europe and North America, further expanding out overseas labeling materials network. In the future, we intend to expand further into overseas markets by making use of our strength in “Japanese quality” backed up by a Japanese-style large scale overseas production system and the acquisition of international certifications.

These companies function as an opening for business in the European and North American markets, especially with leading European and North American apparel makers and retailers.
Thanks to our excellent quality, for which we have acquired international certifications, and our large scale production capability, we have managed to win the deep trust of our customers.
Making use of our abundant experience and know-how, we have been pouring our efforts into the development of a unique online ordering system. This system will be focused on Sunline Hong Kong and will link customers in Japan, Europe and North America, and elsewhere, sewing factories in Asia, and Sankei labeling factories in each country. It will be an epoch-making system that will allow everything to be done online from ordering and design up to delivery management, so it will also be outstanding in terms of prevention of printing errors and management of history data.
In addition, we will also be able to provide multilingual labels and create quality display and care labels in line with the laws and regulations of each country with attractive layouts in one go.
We are constructing this tailor made online system in line with the wishes of our customers, and it will support our internationally expanding production system.

Yokohama Tape (Tai Cang) Co., Ltd. is located at a large site of about 10,000 sq.mtrs. in Tai Cang City in Jiangsu Province, China. Most of its business involves the printing of brand tags, product quality and care labels, and packaging materials.

In addition, since it is equipped with dyeing machines, it is also able to dye and process material for quality display labels within the factory. It also supplies goods to factories within the group.

New production facilities for RFID tags were installed in 2015, and further expansion is planned in the future.

As part of the advance of Japanese, European, and North American apparel firms into Bangladesh, the company began operations in the Adamjee EPZ located in the suburbs of the capital, Dhaka, in April 2010. It is engaged in various printing processes with the same quality as in Japan or China. These include tags, printed name labels, care labels, stickers, and heat transfer sheets.

Japanese staff members are also stationed on site and enable detailed follow up in conjunction with local staff members. In addition, with the abundant labor force available in Bangladesh, the business is expanding to include the production of non-apparel packaging.
