Hub Labels recently earned two Best in Class awards at the 2025 TLMI Printing Excellence Awards during the TLMI Annual Meeting. These awards, which were announced on October 14, recognize the Maryland-based converter’s ongoing commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and sustainable innovation in the label and packaging industry.

Award highlights: Food and Sustainability / Innovation

Best in Class – Food
Hub Labels received Best in Class in the Food category for its Chesapeake Coffee Roasters Bird Friendly Mexico label, printed on an HP Indigo digital press. This label captures the vibrant details and rich tones of Chesapeake Coffee’s Bird Friendly Mexico blend. It shows how digital printing brings specialty food packaging to life with precision and consistency.

Best in Class – Innovation, Sustainability, and Linerless
Hub Labels also earned Best in Class in the Innovation, Single Application, Linerless & Sustainability category for its Perdue Harvestland Fresh Cuts Diced Chicken label. Produced on the converter’s MPS EF430 flexographic press, this project highlights the strength of Hub Labels’ linerless technology. It helps reduce liner waste, supports sustainable packaging, and still delivers the print quality and performance our customers expect.

A Commitment to Craft and Innovation

“Great to see our journey to be excellent printers paying off with recognition from our peers,” states Thomas Dahbura, president of Hub Labels. “This is a testament to the hard work Hub does behind the scenes to make the process of slinging ink on paper magnificent.”

These awards reflect the dedication and pride of the entire Hub Labels team. No matter the size of the customer, the company approaches every project with the same care and attention to detail. The goal is always the same, to create labels that look great, perform flawlessly, and represent customers’ brands at the highest level.
