1000s of products with endless pun-tential

This article originally appeared in a “Movie Monday” LinkedIn newsletter from August, 2025.

I once entered ten puns into a contest, hoping at least one would win.

But no pun in ten did …

Some say that puns are the lowest form of comedy. Well if being punny is wrong, I don’t want to be right! For me, thinking of puns is practically a mental condition – I cannot help but think of them everyday in almost every conversation. Referrals to a good psychiatrist are welcome. (November 8 is “Abet and Aid Punsters Day” … no, I’m not kidding).

So, in honor of my linguistic passion, this week’s #MovieMonday video featuring Clayton Chancy and Phil Pahlke might be more documentary than a skit.

Here’s the thing: when you have a product offering as deep and diverse as ours, it actually makes punning pretty easy. Perhaps it was a “sign” that I got into this industry in the first place …

Trident isn’t just one company, it’s five industry-leading brands under one roof, where we make everything from cable pulling tape to asset tags to marking flags to underground tracer wire. Whether you’re talking safety, visibility, durability, or utility—we’ve got it covered. Literally. We are proud to say that a majority of our products are American-made and completely BABA compliant!

And that’s what makes the puns so satisfying. They’re not just (somewhat) clever—they’re true! We really will keep you posted! Our customers really do stay grounded! The stakes really are high (just ask anyone working near a buried gas line)!

So if you’re rolling your eyes… just know we’re also rolling out solutions that protect the infrastructure that powers America.

Speaking of rolling out, we’ve got some big news: All of our brands—Presco, William Frick & Company, LEM Products, Rhino Marking & Protection Systems, and Pro-Line Safety—are now consolidated under one digital roof. No more bouncing between sites or wondering where to go for a particular product line. Now, everything lives at TridentProducts.com.

It’s cleaner. It’s faster. It’s better for our customers and our team. In summary, Trident is ready to make its mark (last one of the blog, I promise).

So if you haven’t already, take a moment to visit the new site and explore the full suite of Trident Solutions. Because whether you need to pull, post, tag, tape, or trace… we’re ready to help you mark your territory—with a smile and maybe a pun or two along the way.
