New Jersey's Craft Ink Maker Since 1929
Ranger Industries was founded in 1929 and has operated in Tinton Falls, New Jersey for nearly a century. The family-owned company has been a cornerstone of the American craft and rubber stamping industry, formulating and manufacturing inks, embossing powders, paints, and mediums that professional crafters depend on for consistent, reliable results.
The collaboration with designer Tim Holtz produced the Distress Ink line, which has become one of the most beloved and widely imitated products in paper arts. Distress Inks are formulated at the Tinton Falls facility to produce the aged, weathered effects that define the Distress aesthetic — from rich Vintage Photo browns to deep Victorian Velvet burgundy.
Formulated in New Jersey
Every Ranger ink, embossing powder, and paint is formulated and manufactured in Tinton Falls. The water-based, acid-free, non-toxic formulations reflect decades of domestic chemistry expertise. Distress Inks' unique water-reactive property — the ability to re-wet and blend even after drying — is a function of the specific polymer chemistry Ranger has refined over years of production.
For crafters who use Ranger products professionally or for whom consistent color and performance are non-negotiable, knowing that every batch is made at the Tinton Falls facility under direct quality control provides the confidence that craft project results will be reproducible. Ranger's 95-year legacy of American craft supply manufacturing is built into every ink pad.
