Labelcraft represents the 31st acquisition for RLG.

“Sustainability is a key part of the Labelcraft culture and is critically important to our customers. We have a long history of delivering innovative sustainable solutions to our customers,” states Brian Tomlinson, CEO and owner. “We chose to partner with Resource Label Group because they share our commitment to protecting the environment and desire to expand these solutions to a wider variety of customers.”

Plus, at Dscoop Edge, HP Inc. is unveiling its latest lineup of HP digital printing presses and solutions designed to address today’s production challenges in the commercial printing and labels and packaging industries.
