Great Lakes Label (GLL), a Michigan-based label manufacturer, celebrated its 25th year anniversary in 2019.
The company's rich history began in 1992, when CEO Tony Cook began working for a small labeling company in Grand Rapids, MI, USA. After two years, he decided to begin a new journey by starting his own label brokerage company, where he networked with over 30 label companies nationwide.
Since then, Great Lakes Label has grown from a label brokerage into a manufacturing company that produces labels, distributes machines – including The Label Gator – and provides installation and support. Great Lakes Label has in-house departments including R&D, graphic design, art and quality assurance, with 70 employees. This ensures that all designs and labels are created with the newest technology and produced at the highest quality.
The company also prides itself in a great work atmosphere, where “he [Tony] treats the company like family." Today, GLL is capable of manufacturing high-quality labels by using flexographic and digital printing technologies while creating precise, vibrant colors. With the latest Mark Andy presses, many new labeling techniques can be added to labels.
