Euro Label Printers
Family Run, Forward Thinking.
It all began 40 years ago, back in 1974. Our founder saved up just enough money to buy a small label press, a telephone, and rent some space in the corner of an old meat abattoir. He called around searching for work, and when it came in, he printed it, and delivered it himself. This was the level of service that was instilled in the company right from the start. Slowly but surely, the company grew, continuously investing back into newer and better technology.
