“I highly recommend Century Label and its shrink sleeves. We make a product called Axon™, which is a portable, programmable fitness tool that measures the force users apply while they work out. The first version of Axon is hand-built, and we use clear PVC tubes with LEDs inside to provide workout guidance and feedback to users. We needed a way to add the logo to Axon, along with information on FCC compliance and patents. We also wanted to hide some of the electronics inside of the tubes while leaving the LEDs visible. We considered and rejected using adhesive labels, which would be difficult for us to apply consistently by hand, would have to be huge to hide all of the electronics we wanted to hide, and would likely peel off as users used the product. After some research, we found Century Label and its shrink sleeves, which we thought might work for our application. We are a small company and had zero experience or knowledge in shrink sleeves, but we reached out anyway, and the team at Century responded to answer all of our questions and provide samples that we could try. We weren't ready to order for quite a while, but the folks at Century continued to patiently check in on occasion and also answer our many newbie questions. Once we were ready to order, they helped and supported us at every step. Our account manager, Susan Ramos, was particularly helpful and responsive both before and after we ordered, always answering questions and providing the information we needed when we needed it. The shrink sleeves arrived quickly after we ordered them, and they are perfect for our application. We use the full sleeve on one end of each of the Axon L units plus a portion of another sleeve at the other end to hide other electronics. We cut a single sleeve into two pieces for each Axon Go unit, which is smaller in length. We apply the sleeves by hand using a hair dryer, which is not the fastest process, but it works fine for our current volume, and the finished products look great. The shrink sleeves Century Label made for us have elevated the look and feel of our hand-built product.”

"In the Summer of 2017, Hella Cocktail Co. founders set out to create a line of super premium cocktail bitters that would stand apart from the competition and also complement their core portfolio of craft cocktail ingredients. Thanks to the innovative problem solving of Susan Ramos and the Century graphics team, we were able to design an alluring and stealth-looking pack—complete with metallic detailing—that has since been on-boarded to national retail partners like Total Wine & More and earned placement in the nation-wide demo kit of the HP Indigo Business Development & Brand Management team. Through this experience, Hella Cocktail Co. has proven that well executed strategic print techniques have a measurable and positive influence on sales and marketing outcomes.”

“For a small company like ours, venturing out into the cutting edge world of Augmented Reality is quite a leap. We have the utmost respect for Century's capabilities and their desire to expand their offering in the print world. Their professionalism and communication in walking us through this unchartered territory was exceptional. We now have a package that is truly the first of its kind in our category and look forward to sharing it with the marketplace.”

“We were considering a design change on our protein bags when I discovered Century Label. The design required technology that was too expensive, however the Century team was able to come up with a design solution that allowed us to print our bags with a combination of digital and flexo printing. This option saved us a substantial amount of money up front. Needless to say, the printing on the bags turned out better than expected; they are durable and have held up well during shipping.”

"We produced a summer ale in a shrink sleeved can that became a runaway success and we found ourselves needing more sleeves and fast. It was important that the sleeves had a seamless look, that the turnaround time was quick, and that the cost was reasonable. We turned to Century Label and we weren't disappointed; the quality of the sleeves was excellent and lead times were very reasonable. The team is great at communicating—they are easily accessible and very responsive. That, along with Century's focus on quality, is the main reason we came back to them when we needed pressure sensitive labels for a later project. We worked closely with Century's pre-press department to translate the look and colors of our printed cans and have been very happy with the quality and price of the resulting pressure sensitive labels. At Great North Aleworks we pride ourselves on the attention to detail we give to everything we do—we felt the same with how Century has handled our artwork resulting in some great looking cans!"

"We’re able to work with Century Label to utilize this new printing process which was exciting for the Indiana Pacers and exciting for us to say we’ve got this whole new printing process that will have a standard element to the can, but the background of each and every can is going to be different. This is going to be a new product and it’s going to be completely unique."

“We presented Century with a complete re-branding label project with an impossible deadline. They not only met the deadline, but also produced everything professionally on a very tight time table, and went that extra mile to make a difficult project seem fun to complete. Century makes very involved projects simple to handle once in their hands. The company offers very clear communications, top quality proofs with few if any errors, and a product that is head and shoulders above its competition. Not only do they make our projects easy, they always have the ‘can do’ attitude that a small business owner so seldom finds in suppliers.”

“After having difficulty with our label provider, we began searching for better service and competitive pricing. The internet provided endless alternatives. We emailed several companies inquiring about their digital label products. Century Label was one of these. From the first time we were contacted to the delivery of our digital label order, the customer service was exceptional. Our Customer Care Specialist responded immediately to all our requests for samples, label changes, corrections, questions and pricing. Because this was the introduction of our new product, the Weldon Tea and Water flavorings, we needed a first class label. We would highly recommend Century Label for all your future digital label needs."

"Thank you for your help in making our first shrink sleeves project a success. You made the process quick and painless and offered outstanding customer service along the way. The art department was able to provide accurate die-lines from a sample bottle in a timely manner and Century delivered seamed test labels to our factory in Hong Kong on short notice. The test run was successful and Century was extremely helpful in turning around production quantities on a tight time frame during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays. The finished product was great! This was our first time using a steam tunnel, which could have proven to be quite a feat, but the application process went very smoothly and resulted in fabulous looking product. Century delivered on time, went the extra mile, and delivered exactly what was needed. We even requested a last minute delivery of 4000 labels and they quickly rose to the challenge."

"Everything is great thanks to you!! If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t have been able to move forward with the photography work needed to begin working on our new website. It was a very stressful time for me. Finding a company that you can depend on is not always easy but I'm glad to know I have you to call on for my many future projects and promotions. Without you it wouldn’t have been possible. I'll be in touch very soon once things are settled with the new site. Thank you again for all that you have done!"

“Our experience with Century Label has been very exciting. We love the company’s responsiveness and the fact that they are very focused on our concerns. The company turns quotes around very quickly and is proactive in researching options—such as materials, inks, or foils—that we didn’t know were available. These options not only saved costs, but also resulted in labels with a better look and design.”

“Starting a new business is such a huge undertaking but if you have a company who works with you and can guide you with their expertise it is so much easier—that is what the sales dept at Century Label did for me. They were knowledgeable, professional, exceptionally customer service oriented and just a pleasure to work with—it was actually fun to work with Century Label in designing my many different labels!”

“We work primarily with the digital printing group at Century, which assigned a team to work with us on our requirements. Century people are great to work with and very professional in their dealings with us. Their digital printing capabilities have enabled us to do things in short run 4-color labeling that would have been impossible for a smaller company like ours. They are very responsive to our needs. Their turn around time is incredible. They typically ship our labels within 7 days from when we send them our art...Together we can go from a new label design to labels in hand and being shipped out the door on our products in as little as two weeks...a truly amazing feat that I doubt anyone else in the candle or printing industry could accomplish! The quality of their work is excellent. Century has printed tens of thousands of labels for us in multiple sizes and shapes with literally no problems. I would highly recommend the company to anyone who needs short run 4-color labels for their products. I only hope that not too many of our competitors find out about them!”

“It’s 7:00 pm on Thursday evening and Fed Ex just dropped off the labels you printed for our Buster’s Choice Jerky Treats. They look amazing! When my wife, who conceived the design, first saw them she was extremely happy. They look even better than we could tell on our computer monitors and certainly so much better than we could print out. You were able to duplicate, beyond our expectations, what the artist and my wife had envisioned if not in fact making it better. You are so easy to work with and together with your design group make me feel confident in making our products look great! Thank you so much! Great quality work and great working with you.”

“Century Label has been our label provider for the past 6 months, and after working with 4 other companies prior we are extremely pleased with the quality of the product they produce, the rapid turn around time on all projects in addition to the outstanding customer service. We find their prices to be highly competitive and it is nice to work with a supplier that is working with the best interest of our company in mind. I would highly recommend the services of Century Label and all their affiliated divisions. Our company will continue to use their services for many projects now and in the future.”
