Thanks to all our amazing customers that have helped us grow and prosper all these years. This retrospective will give some history, some context in our current environment, and some wonderful hopes for the future. None of this would have been possible without you – thank you so very much.
Past
We have the experience to navigate the changing world of label production. Self adhesive roll labels, 
which are 90% of our work now, weren’t even invented for the first 30 years of our business. Technology has changed over time, but the timeless values of hard work and fairness don’t ever change. You can be rest easy knowing your work is being handled by the most experienced label printing crew.
Present
High quality food, wine, and beer labels dominate our production now.
We work very hard to keep our top customers happy and growing. As their production grows, they can’t be limited by a label supplier that can’t keep up.
Because of the trust you continue to put in our team, we continue to grow and prosper. 2017 has been a great year!
- Sales up 12.5% over last year
- 676 customers have trusted RCL this year
- Over 3,500 label jobs printed in 2017

Future
The future is bright at Rose City Label. With continued investment and training, we are constantly upping our game to serve you better. This year we are upgrading again:
- Precision Video Plate Mounter – more accurate, faster job setup

Workflow Automation – this is the biggest change for 2018. This integrated system ties our office business system directly into production. As more and more digital jobs demand faster lead times, this automation will make every job faster and more accurate. Visibility for the office staff will help plan production and make accurate delivery time estimates. This is big! Stay tuned for more information as we fully implement this cutting edge technology.
