The best protective film in the world is not made in one country. It is assembled from the best of several — and then finished by someone who refuses to substitute materials.
아우르다 — aureuda — is a Korean verb. It means to gather separate things into one whole; to bring a group under a single purpose.
It is the most honest description of what we do. We do not mine polymer. We do not invent adhesives. We find the best of each component on earth, and we finish it ourselves — under one roof, to one standard, at one price.
Most brands in this industry are named after a founder. Ours is named after a method.
Korea’s optical film industry grew up in Gyeonggi-do. The engineers who coat display film, window film and automotive film here have been doing it for three decades — and the discipline of coating a display is unforgiving.
TAGRY was founded in 2014 by a small team out of that industry. We had one coating line, four customers and a stubborn idea: that a Korean converter could match the American and German brands on performance and beat them on landed cost — if it refused to substitute materials.
Twelve years later we run two lines, ship to 32 markets, and still buy the same American TPU we started with.
Korea also gives us a test bed most film brands do not have: 35 °C at 90% humidity in August, −15 °C in January, salt on every coastal road, and UV that passes through a windscreen twice before it ever reaches the film. A product that survives a Korean year has already met the worst of most export markets.
We are not a polymer company and we do not pretend to be one. We are the people who know which roll to buy — and which one to send back.
| Component | Source | Why this one |
|---|---|---|
| Aliphatic TPU base film | United States | The polymer family the premium brands specify. UV-stable by chemistry rather than by additive load — which is why the film still measures Δb* < 2 after 3,600 hours. |
| Acrylic adhesive | Japan | Tack that stays where you put it at 60 °C and still releases cleanly at year eight. The single most common cause of a warranty claim is an adhesive we did not choose. |
| Silicone-coated PET liner | Korea | Release force tuned per series. The liner is where cheap film shows itself first: it fights the installer, or it lets go on the shelf. |
| Clear-coat formulation | Our own · Gyeonggi-do | The one component we refuse to buy. Formulated and coated in-house since 2021, so gloss, healing and hydrophobics are ours to hold — not a supplier’s to change. |
| Cartons, cores, labels | Korea | Printed locally, so a private-label launch does not wait six weeks on an imported carton. |
Four countries, one bill of materials. The specification is ours; only the inputs are imported.
A distributor does not lose deals on performance. They lose them on landed cost. This is where our price actually comes from.
We do not sponsor a race team, a trade-show stand the size of a tennis court, or a celebrity. Those costs are real, and in this industry they are usually paid by the distributor.
You buy from the line, not from a regional importer who buys from a master distributor. One margin sits between the factory and your warehouse.
The same coating line runs clear, matte, black and colour. Shared tooling, shared QC, shared overhead — spread across 150+ SKUs instead of three.
Stock series leave in 5 working days from Incheon, consolidated into one pallet instead of three part-shipments. Landed cost stops being a guess.
First coating line commissioned in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do. Two SKUs, both clear gloss.
Container shipments to the Middle East and Southeast Asia through regional distributors.
In-house formulation of the self-healing top layer. Colour and gloss come under our control.
Private-label programmes running for distributors in Europe, North America and Oceania.
Every metre of TAGRY film follows the same route. We publish it because we are proud of it — and because your customers will ask.
Sourced from a US aliphatic TPU producer — the same polymer family specified by the premium brands. UV-stable by chemistry, not by additive.
Plasma pre-treatment, sub-micron clear-coat application and adhesive lamination on our own line. 100% inline inspection.
Rolls, master rolls or finished private-label cartons — shipped from Incheon with export documentation handled in-house.
If a batch cannot be made to specification, it is not sold as a lower grade. It is scrapped. This is why our reject rate is higher than our competitors’ and our warranty claims are lower.
We do not open stores, we do not list on marketplaces, and we do not sell under our own name in your territory. Your market is yours.
Quoted lead times are confirmed in writing. If a shipment will be late, you hear it from us before you have to ask.
Tell us your market, your volume and the brand you sell. We will send a sample, a price list and a straight answer within 12 working hours.
