LabelValue has announced that it has relocated its label manufacturing business to a newly constructed 45,648 square-foot facility located in the Airport Industrial Park, just near the corner of Hillsborough Avenue and Hoover Boulevard in Tampa, FL, USA. The newly constructed facility more than triples the size of the manufacturing, warehousing, and office spaces available to the company.

The building provides capacity for expansion in manufacturing, customer support, marketing, sales and shipping. It also allows for the company to combine its two previous facilities under the same roof, allowing for an expansion of services for clients in brewing and craft beverage industries. The new digital production room offers the ability to showcase the company’s state-of-the-art digital printing machinery to potential and existing clients. This showroom also contributes to the general understanding of the added value that digital printing technology can provide for quality, sustainability, and flexibility.

“By tripling our space, the immediate benefit is that we now have the space to add more machinery and expand our workforce. We’ve actually already done so since the relocation, with two new presses and eight new employees bringing our total to 43 employees,” says Paul Puleo, president, LabelValue. “But there are a lot of other benefits the new building provides as well. Since we built this facility from the ground up, we were able to optimize the space for our needs. Additionally, it is a beautiful space for us to bring in clients for meetings or tours, it gives our team members new office space with room for growth, and finally it allows us to consolidate our two properties into one by bringing our shrink sleeve application line under the same roof. That’s really the centerpiece of the facility now and it’s a compelling production line to see in action.”

LableValue offers an expansive catalog of stock label products that are used across a wide range of industries. The company began label manufacturing by printing blank shipping and address labels compatible with popular desktop label printers, such as DYMO or Zebra brand printers. With one of the most comprehensive product offerings for label printers available in the world with over 700 stock offerings, as well as customization capabilities, LabelValue still prides itself on innovation in that space. As a custom label provider, LabelValue offers enhanced digital printing technology to clients across a wide variety of industries such as food and beverage, industrial, and health and beauty. As an e-commerce first business, the company has over 200,000 customers across all 50 states, as well as Canada.

“With the wide variety of labels that we produce, stock, and customize, this move will allow us to meet our production turnaround times and be more capable of providing the service our customers have come to expect from LabelValue,” says Tim Hutchinson, production manager of LabelValue.

Locally, in the Tampa Bay area, LabelValue serves the craft beverage industries with customized solutions, including shrink sleeves cans that are printed and applied to cans, delivered to craft brewers, ready to fill. The new facility offers the space needed to move the shrink sleeve application line into the same manufacturing facility.

“The craft brewing industry is so fast-moving, we’ve found that our brewery clients really value our responsiveness and flexibility to their ever-changing production, distribution and marketing calendars,” says Carol-Ann Puleo, VP of business development for LabelValue. “Our labeling, shrink sleeve, and application services are essential to many of these local businesses in ensuring they can get their beverages to market as planned. Being a local provider also offers them substantial savings with regards to the freight costs typically incurred with shipping cans on pallets.”

The new building will allow LabelValue to continue to pursue growth across each of its label markets while also expanding the space available to hire new team members across each of its departments.

“The most exciting thing about the new building is that we no longer have to operate under the restrictions that our previous facility imposed,” continues Josh Dickson, director of marketing for LabelValue. “Our mission is to deliver the unexpected, and we’re now poised to do that better than ever before. The building also serves as a visual validation of all the hard work from our team over the years. It’s a testament to the relationships we have formed amongst each other and with our clients that have gotten us to this point.”
