About us
The partner behind print businesses for 30+ years
From photolab supplies to sublimation, UV printing and laser engraving: Technotape helps resellers and print businesses with the products, machines and knowledge they grow with — from our own stock, tested in our own house.
Our story
Born in the photolab industry — never left
Technotape started over thirty years ago as a supplier to the photolab industry: inking ribbons, leaders, paper and chemistry for the labs that kept the photo world running. That world changed — and we changed with it.
When photo products became personal, we stepped into sublimation: mugs, tiles, textiles. From that base grew a complete assortment for personalisation, later joined by UV printing and soon laser engraving. We test every technique ourselves in our own test centre before we sell it to you.
And the photolab industry? We still serve it, week after week. Our roots aren’t history — they’re a running product line. It’s the same promise as back then: professional supplies, from stock, with knowledge included.
