Cartes boosts Gill Studios, KDV Label debuts new facility and more

For Gill Studios, the search for a new production platform did not stem from a desire to purchase the latest available technology, but from a desire to better help customers achieve labels which delivered higher impact. To achieve this, it needed to solve production problems. Paula Bair was familiar with Jet D-Screen, having been impressed by the 3-D effects achieved with digital varnish and foil during a previous visit to Labelexpo.   

“Working in Research and Development, we’re trained to see the potential in practically every new technology,” she says.

Meanwhile, KDV Label, LLC, a leading custom label manufacturer serving the food, beverage, personal care, dairy, automotive, and specialty consumer goods industries, has announced the grand opening of its new manufacturing facility in Waukesha, WI, USA.

Strategically located just off Les Paul Parkway, the new facility represents a significant investment in KDV Label’s long-term growth, manufacturing capabilities, and commitment to delivering high-quality custom labeling solutions. The expansion reinforces KDV’s focus on operational excellence, customer service, and employee experience.
