About RediTape

Every great idea starts with a simple problem. For RediTape, that problem was bulky, hard-to-store duct tape rolls that wasted space and always seemed to disappear when you needed them most. Inventor Jay Kolb set out to change that — and when he approached Valley Forge Packaging, together they turned his flat-pack prototype into a breakthrough product. In 2013, RediTape hit the market, offering the same trusted strength of duct tape in a compact, easy-to-carry design. Over a decade later, RediTape has earned a place in toolboxes, classrooms, glove boxes, backpacks, tackle boxes, and job sites across America. It’s trusted by DIYers, construction crews, truckers, teachers, and parents alike for one reason: it works. In 2025, Valley Forge Packaging officially acquired the RediTape brand — formalizing a partnership that had existed since day one. The acquisition marked a new chapter in innovation, expansion, and commitment to making smart, durable products that fit modern life. Built for durability, designed for convenience, and ready for life wherever it happens — RediTape is the smarter duct tape.Read their story
