At Lightning Labels, we’re more than just a company that cranks out custom labels—we’re a team of real, hardworking people who put our expertise and passion into every project. Behind the scenes, our skilled crew is dedicated to making sure every detail is handled with care, so you get labels that truly stand out. 

When you choose Lightning Labels, you’re not just getting a product—you’re getting the commitment of a close-knit team that treats your project like their own. 

Today, we’d like to introduce you to some of the folks who make the magic happen and show you why trusting our team with your labeling needs is the best decision you can make.

I’m here every day so I’m the go-to person when production or someone on the sales team has an issue since I’m pretty reliable and always here. I’ll check into orders for them to see where they are in the facility. I do proofing and color-match services. If another company printed some labels and they need to be consistent with the ones we print here, then they’ll send us samples so we ensure they’re the same color.

We get a lot of interesting labels here: beer, a lot of vape products, a lot of personal care products. I like all the beer labels, those are pretty interesting. Those are the ones that really stand out because those are on Chrome usually, so they have a metallic element to them and they’re more visually appealing off the shelf. 

The most important thing when you are creating a label is to think about, this is going to sound really silly but, cookies. When cookies are cut out, you need extra cookie dough, right? So when you’re setting up your art files, you actually need extra artwork to extend past where the “cookies” are cut.

A common question we are asked all the time is, if we can “just fix it really quickly,” and the answer is, “Sometimes” but most of the time, everything takes time. So, to get those cookies made... ya know? It takes a little time.

We have a lot of customers that come in to pick up their labels, and they’ll often ask for our opinion. I have them look at my wall! We’ve got lots of inspiring examples.

Nothing bothers me. I know what I’m doing. I stay pretty busy, but there’s not too much pressure. It’s a nice place to work. I can talk with everybody. We’re all friends.

I always run extra labels. Not too much—just enough. That’s how I can always send the right finished quantity.

Don’t be afraid to get funky with it. It’s important to catch the eye. We’ve got a label size for everything.

At Lightning Labels, we like to think that our secret sauce is the people behind the labels. Sure, the machines are great, and the technology is top-notch, but it’s our team’s dedication, sense of humor, and hard work that really makes the difference. 

So, the next time you’re peeling off one of our custom labels, remember the friendly faces who made it happen. After all, it’s not just about creating labels—it’s about creating something memorable with a team that truly cares.
