Over these years, Union Label supplies its products to electronic, logistics, F&B, petrochemical, cosmetic and printing industries.

Union Label constantly searches for innovative ways and technologies to custom print labels and decals for a wide variety of market segments.

 

Union Label Industries has upgraded to digital print capability with the recent acquisition of the Konica Minolta AccurioLabel 230 (AL230) digital label production press from RHS Asia. The AL230 is Konica Minolta’s third-generation label press, delivering significant improvements in productivity, flexibility, stability and speed to ensure Union Label stays competitive in the rapidly changing label market. This investment complements Union Label’s business, who already owns a fleet of intermittent-rotary label printing machines and letterpresses.
