CUMMINS LABEL | KALAMAZOO, MI
You put the work into the product. Your label should look just as good when it reaches the shelf, cooler, or customer's hand. Cummins Label produces food and beverage labels built for demanding environments without sacrificing the look that gets your product noticed.

The label that looks perfect on a proof still has to perform on the product. Cold storage creates condensation. Freezing introduces another set of demands. Bottles curve. Containers get handled, packed, shipped, stocked, opened, wiped down, and handled again. The right label keeps doing its job through all of it.
Refrigeration, freezing, condensation, and moisture shouldn't turn a great looking package into a labeling problem.
Squeezable plastics, textured glass, smooth aluminum, and corrugated cartons all adhere differently.
Packing, shipping, stocking, handling, and everyday use all happen after the label goes on.
You have enough to think about already. Production, inventory, retailers, ingredients, packaging, new products, and everything else that comes with keeping a food or beverage brand moving.
Your labels shouldn't become another specialty you have to master.
Cummins Label brings the expertise to the table so you can stay focused on the product you're putting your name on.
You do not need finalized press files to start. We will sort through the details we need to get rolling:
Materials + Adhesives
Artwork + Design Support
Digital + Flexo Production
Multiple SKUs + Variable Data
The first flavor is rarely the last. New varieties, seasonal releases, different sizes, and expanding product lines can turn one label into an entire family of them. Your packaging should still look like one brand, even when the lineup keeps growing.
Keep a recognizable look across multiple SKUs
Add barcodes, QR codes, numbering, and variable information where needed
Support different quantities across products and varieties
Reorder established labels as inventory moves
From a new product launch to an established line with multiple SKUs, Cummins Label has in-house printing, artwork, variable-data, material, and production capabilities to support food and beverage labels beyond the first order.
Launch quantities and established product lines don't always have the same production needs. With both digital and flexographic printing in-house, Cummins Label can support different stages of a product's growth.
Different flavors, varieties, sizes, barcodes, QR codes, and other changing information don't have to turn a growing product line into a labeling mess. Cummins Label can support the variations that come with multiple SKUs.
The material isn't just part of the appearance. It has to work with the container and what the product will experience after the label goes on. Cummins Label has material and finishing options for both sides of that equation.
Need a label designed, an existing design adjusted, or finished artwork prepared for production? Cummins Label has an in-house art department to keep the artwork side of the project moving.
Not every food or beverage company has a designer sitting around who understands label production. Cummins Label does. Their in-house art department can create label artwork, work from an existing concept, make changes to a current design, or prepare finished artwork for production.
That means one less outside vendor to coordinate and one less piece of the label project for your team to chase down.

When a product sells, you need more labels. Then another flavor takes off. Then another SKU gets added. Label ordering shouldn't become harder as the business grows.
Cummins Label works with customers who reorder over time and can support inventory and blanket orders with future releases when that approach makes sense.
Your established product shouldn't feel like a brand-new label project every time inventory gets low.
New flavor? Different size? Seasonal release? Another SKU? Cummins Label can support the labels that come with a growing product family.
For businesses with ongoing demand, blanket and inventory orders with future releases can help support how labels are purchased over time.

When labels become part of your ongoing production, having people who understand your products matters. Cummins Label has built customer relationships around being available, answering questions, helping work through problems, and supporting the labels customers come back for again and again.

From the first product on the shelf to the next flavor, the next SKU, and the next reorder, your labels are part of how customers experience what you've built. Put them in the hands of a company that's been producing labels in Kalamazoo since 1972.
