Palak Tapes Pvt. Ltd.

We are located out in Surajpur. It’s a pretty industrial area, so there’s always something going on nearby. Our daily routine is mostly centered around the big rolls of tape we handle here. It’s a bit of a sticky job, literally. You walk across the floor and sometimes you can hear your shoes clicking on little bits of adhesive that got dropped. We have these machines that run most of the day, cutting and winding the tape into the sizes people need. The clock on the wall is five minutes fast, but we keep it that way so we don't finish too late in the evening. It’s not the quietest place to work, but we like the rhythm of it. The warehouse space is large and we try to keep the boxes stacked high to save room. Every morning starts with a cup of tea before we get the equipment warmed up. We deal with all kinds of tapes, some for packing and some for more specific uses. It’s interesting to see how many different types there actually are when you work with them every day. The weather in Surajpur gets quite hot, and the metal roof of the building doesn't help much, so we keep the big fans going all summer long. Most of our neighbors are other small factories, so we all kind of know each other. We aren't doing anything groundbreaking, just filling orders and making sure the rolls are packed properly.
