Karen Cripe: After being in the Label industry for 13 years, I had already established a customer base when I first started out. I then reached out to distributers with my yearly sales, and boldly asked if they would sell to me. To my surprise, they all set me up immediately! From there, I came up with our company name and we soon became incorporated shortly afterwards. Getting out in the field to know the customer needs and being able to concentrate on their demands was key to growing the business. Challenges still present themselves every day, but you must always have thick skin and believe in yourself no matter what. Throughout it all, I remained a sales dedicated representative at heart who kept a focus on staying ahead of technology.

From my all-star sales sta to creative vision from our Art director to talented press operators, innovative managers, and a customer service department that understands the needs of each customer!
