A label plant you can drive to — not a broker passing your job along
We're Certified Labeling Solutions, and New Jersey Label Manufacturing is how we serve the state. We've printed labels at our Hillsborough plant since 1986, and we make yours in-house on our own flexographic presses, with no middleman in between. We match your Pantone colors, check the barcode on every run, and print on domestic materials, from a short pilot run to millions. Our die library holds thousands of shapes, so most standard sizes skip the tooling charge, and a standard order ships about two weeks after you approve the artwork. You work with one person who knows your account and gets you a quote in one business day.
Barcodes that scan first-try. Every barcode is scanned and graded to ANSI/ISO standards before your order ships — so codes read cleanly at the register, warehouse, and distribution center, with no rejected shipments or retailer chargebacks for an unreadable barcode.
Your brand color, every run. We match your colors to an exact Pantone (PMS) spec and hold it across every print run and reorder, so labels look identical from the first roll to the batch you order next year and your product stays recognizable on the shelf.
Labels and the hardware that prints them. As an authorized Zebra® and Datamax® dealer we also supply the thermal printers, ribbons, and blank label stock that run on them — so you can source your custom labels and your printers and consumables from one vendor.
A domestic supply chain. We print on facestocks, adhesives, and liners made in the United States — which means shorter lead times, no overseas shipping delays, and materials you can trace and reorder with confidence.
Often no tooling charge. We keep thousands of existing dies in-house, so most standard label shapes and sizes need no new die — saving you the one-time tooling charge and shortening turnaround on your first order.

Pressure-Sensitive Labels
Peel-and-stick prime labels built on the exact facestock and adhesive your product, container, and environment call for — from ambient shelf to squeeze bottles, cold-chain, and freezer.
Barcode Labels
UPC, GS1-128, ITF-14, and 2D DataMatrix / QR codes — verified to ANSI/ISO grade on every run so they scan first-pass at retail distribution centers and pharmaceutical supplier programs.
Thermal Labels & Ribbons
Direct-thermal and thermal-transfer stock plus matched wax, wax/resin, and resin ribbons. We're an authorized Zebra® and Datamax® dealer, so your printers, media, and consumables come from one source.
Variable Data & Serialization
Sequential numbering, lot and date codes, QR, and unit-of-use serialization for pharmaceutical and regulated products — printed and inspected inline so no two labels ship with the same code by mistake.
Custom Die-Cut Shapes
Thousands of dies in our in-house library, so most shapes ship with no tooling charge — plus custom tooling when your shape is one of a kind. Rounds, ovals, squares, and full custom silhouettes.
Prime / Product Labels
Full-color prime labels with foil, gloss and matte laminate, and PMS spot-color matching — engineered to hold their own on a crowded retail shelf and keep your brand color consistent across every SKU.
Feel the material before you commit.
We'll ship you free label samples — paper, BOPP film, foil, soft-touch — so you can see the print and feel the finish on your own product before you order.
A look at our work.
Real labels off our presses — food, beverage, specialty, and everything in between.
The part that isn't on the spec sheet.
The presses and the color science get the label right. What keeps brands here is quieter: one point of contact who knows your account, your dies, and your specs — not a ticket queue.
One vendor, one invoice, one person to call when a launch date moves. Reorders come off the same tooling and the same Pantone targets, so your tenth run looks like the first one you approved.
It's why our longest-running accounts have reordered for years — and why a first single-SKU order gets the same shop, the same floor, and the same answer as a run of millions.
Nothing gets outsourced.
Printing, finishing, die-cutting, and inspection all happen on our own floor — never sent out.
Flexographic printing
Our Nilpeter and Rotoflex presses run up to seven colors on webs to 16 inches — the workhorse for high-volume runs at a low per-label cost, with color that holds steady from the first roll to your reorder.
Digital printing
For short runs, many versions, or fast proofs, digital skips the plates and gets you to press quickly. It's the right call for product launches, seasonal SKUs, and variable artwork.
Specialty finishes
Foil stamping, embossing, soft-touch, and specialty laminates give a label the shelf presence of a premium product — all finished in-house, so what you approve is what ships.
Die-cutting
A die library of thousands of shapes lives in-house, from 0.25-inch rounds to 16-by-24-inch formats, so most standard sizes need no new tooling and skip the die charge.
Pantone color matching
We match your brand to an exact Pantone (PMS) spec and hold it across every run, so your color never drifts between orders. What you approve on the proof is what comes off the press.
Quality control
Every run is checked on inline video inspection and graded to ANSI/ISO barcode standards before it leaves the plant, so your codes scan first-try at the register, warehouse, and DC.
Variable data & serialization
Sequential numbering, lot and date codes, GS1 barcodes, and unit-of-use serialization for pharmaceutical and regulated products — printed on demand.
