Full-service label manufacturing · since 1986
Everything your label needs, run under one roof
Four production presses, up to seven PMS-matched colors, and thousands of dies on the shelf — printing millions of labels a month for manufacturers, distributors, and brands across NJ, NY, and PA.
What we can make
Whatever you're labeling, we've probably run something like it
Since 1986 we've printed everything from a quarter-inch QC dot to a full-wrap 16×24″ product label — up to seven colors, on paper, film, or heat-resistant stock, with thousands of dies on the shelf so most shapes skip the tooling wait.

Good to know
Capabilities, answered
How fast can you turn a custom label job around?
About two weeks from artwork approval, with plates included. Reorders are often a week or less, and rush service is available at no extra charge when press capacity allows. New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania orders typically deliver in one to two business days.
What is the largest label run Certified Labeling Solutions can handle?
Our largest single order to date was 5 million labels. With four production presses running, we are built for medium-to-long production runs measured in the millions per month, while still taking on specialty short runs.
How many colors can you print on a label?
Up to seven colors, process and PMS-matched spot, UV-cured on press. Electronic registration holds color consistent from job to job on reorders.
Do I pay a tooling charge for a custom label shape?
Usually not. We keep thousands of dies in stock across sizes from 0.25 by 0.25 inches up to 16 by 24 inches, so most standard shapes skip the tooling charge entirely.
