We are specialist labelling innovators. Please visit the specific pages on our history, social responsibility, Board of Directors, brands and divisions.

Manufacturing from 2 factories in the UK and exporting to clients worldwide, we conduct significant innovative research to develop new products and technologies.

Our employees including scientists, engineers, printers, coating specialists and software engineers combine into project specific teams to tackle labelling challenges. Our major suppliers are strategic partners which we combine with our our own resources and knowledge to develop innovative products that perform.

We have an in house dedicated NPD team with a significant budget that is dedicated to R&D, initiating new products and processes, and answering custom needs.

Responding to specific development requests from customers, the R&D team works closely with the end user throughout the product development process, ensuring that the end product conforms tightly to required specifications. Our flexible approach allows us to take on projects that often do not interest larger suppliers.

If you have a new product idea, a labelling problem that needs solving or a request for an R&D collaboration then please contact the NPD team leader Dr Adrian Steele.
