About Us

Our Humble Beginning

Universal Tag was founded in 1927 by a gentleman named Dominque Paquette in the town of Southbridge, Massachusetts. The primary manufactured products at that time were basic paper shipping tags. The company grew slowly over the years with a total of only six employees and one or two printing presses through the 1930s and 1940s. Upon the death of Mr. Paquette in the mid 1950s, the company w as handed over to Bob and Jeanne Mandeville.

Where We Are Today

Today, the entire Mandeville family continues to manage and operate the family business. With over 30 employees and 40,000sf of combined factory, warehouse and office space, the business has grown to include a much wider variety of products and services.
