Custom labels and packaging
Most of what we write about starts with a format: pressure sensitive labels and custom roll labels, shrink sleeve labels, folding cartons and custom printed boxes, hang tags, and flexible packaging in stand up pouches, stick packs and flow wrap. The articles cover how each one gets specified, the stocks and finishes that go with it, and what digital label printing changed about short runs.
The industry posts run along the same lines as the work: beer labels, wine labels and custom liquor labels, beverage and cannabis labels, cosmetic labels, nutraceutical labels, pet food packaging, industrial labels and specialty food packaging. All of it comes out of our facility at 24 Baiting Place Road in Farmingdale, New York, where we have been printing since 1948 and are now in our third generation, so if an article raises something you want on your own packaging, our team can pick it up from there.
