Partnering to help our Customers Succeed
Our good customer, Pizzicato Gourmet Pizza, recently decided to exit the Take and Bake pizza market to focus on their restaurants and home delivery business. They came up with an excellent idea to reuse the thousands of Take and Bake labels they had in inventory. Rose City Label donated the manpower to slit two full pallets of labels down into narrow strips that will be used to close their salad boxes for take out orders.
This was a brilliant solution, and we are proud to be a part of it. Pizzicato saves some future label expense and everyone benefits by keeping these labels out of the landfill.

As we upgrade our technology hardware, software, and systems, we continue to support the local non-profit, FREE GEEK! This amazing group recycles old computers and gives them to low income families. And, they provide free training in a variety of computer topics. We have posted about this group before, but they continue to do fantastic work, and we continue to keep our old equipment out of the landfill, so we felt it was worth posting again.

Rose City Label is proud to renew our eco-certification with Clackamas County. We were first recognized in 2009, but the periodic review was important for us to make sure we are staying current with best business practices.
As with past certification visits, we had no areas to correct and we were commended for all the good things we do for the environment. We are constantly pushing for more ways to recycle our products!
Thank you for supporting our Green initiatives. We will continue to bring you more Earth friendly options for your labels in the future. Stay tuned.

We are happy to continue our great partnership with SCRAP – the School Community Recycling Action Project. We participate in a wonderful program called, Fill Minds, not Landfills (FMNL), which diverts label waste to the SCRAP store to be sold or used in art camps. Just last month we donated 257 of obsolete, over-run, or defective labels to the program. This donation alone will provide a scholarship to two kids to Camp SCRAP this year.
Every business can participate, as there are SCRAP affiliates all over the country.
Check the website here for more information.
1. Reduce your trash bill
2. Donate to a great community organization to help kids
3. Get a tax deduction
This is a win-win-win for everyone. Please feel free to call us directly if you want a more detailed testimonial.

Rose City Label is one of many Portland companies that send excess material, waste, and over run labels to this great local non-profit.
This group takes all types of excess material and allows artists of all ages and abilities to create amazing things — all while keeping tons of waste out of landfills each year. The group has a service to collect from local business, or business can deliver to their retail store, as shown in the photo above.
To learn more, or to support his great group, visit www.scrappdx.org
For the record, we never donate customer labels without the permission of the company – we donate setup stock, blank labels, and other print waste so that our customers’ valuable labels will never show up in a kindergarten art project.
