Diversified Labeling Solutions (DLS) has announced the recent celebration of its 30th anniversary. What started in 1985 as a company aiming to provide high quality, custom printed tape to the distributor market, quickly expanded its focus when founder and owner Bob Hakman identified a growing demand for bar code pressure sensitive products.
From its beginnings in a 1,550 square foot facility, Diversified Labeling Solutions has grown into one of the largest independently owned – trade only – label manufacturers in the country.
Today, DLS is a leading labeling solutions provider with over 180 team members in five locations: Illinois, Georgia, Texas, Nevada and most recently Ohio. The company now has over 358,000 square feet of production space.
Not only has the company grown in size, it has also grown its portfolio beyond thermal transfer pressure sensitive labels to include: decorative prime (full color) labels, digital labels, flexible packaging, warehouse labeling and installation, security labels, UL/CSA, as well as GHS labels.
Throughout its growth, DLS says it has focused on meeting the changing needs of its distributors and value added resellers. In celebration of the 30-year milestone, DLS recently held onsite gatherings and lunches for all employees at each one of its facilities.
