The big take away items for me – everything is going well in Portland, our primary market. More specifically, manufacturing jobs are growing – this is even better news for us, since most of our customers make some type of product in a bag, box, or bottle. When manufacturing does well, so do we!
Take a look at the report, then subscribe to get this info in your mailbox every month.

Seeing these products come to life and then buying them on the store shelf allows us to see the full product life cycle – and allows us to see our customer succeed!

Specialty Foods have always been an important product category for us. We work closely with people to bring their product to market and to give it some ‘pop’ on the retail shelf. These caramel apples look so good you almost want to take a bite out of your screen or smart phone – and the packaging should look just as good.
Why do people buy new specialty foods? TASTE is the number one reason, followed by the desire to eat a natural and healthy diet. Make sure your product satisfies both of these desires in your consumer. What are they buying – according to the Specialty Foods Association, these are the top categories for 2014:
We get specialty foods – and we get the passion you put behind your product. Partner with us, and we will help you take your dream to the next level.

Since 2009, this amazing Portland company has continued to grow and prosper. We have been fortunate to be with them since the very beginning. As their product diversity has expanded, we have added a greater variety of labels. Now you can get all different types of gourmet products from them – all hand made with the finest ingredients from their location here in Portland.
Over the years their volume has grown considerably, but they have also added more products, included UPC codes and inline date coding, and larger bulk products for food service. All labels include a clean, recognizable design and rotary embossing.
