In addition to printing equipment, The Label Printers is upgrading to a new operating system that will give them the ability to operate in a “lean” manufacturing environment.  And they continue to work with their customers to provide them with the services they need, such as their newly designed label release program for the Kanban system being implemented by one of those customers.

Despite the current economic environment, The Label Printers continues to invest in their company, their people, and their hometown.
