Discount Labels celebrates 50 years in business

In June, Discount Labels celebrated 50 years in the custom label business with customer appreciation promotions and a celebratory picnic for employees. Fred Conway, Indiana businessman and firefighter, founded the company in May 1965.

Conway invented the Emergency Phone Sticker which was used on household phones nationwide for decades. After setting up a national network of distributors, moving to its current New Albany location and investing in several presses, Discount Labels evolved to become a large custom label printer selling only to the trade.

Today, the company boasts a fully integrated ecommerce customer front end, a wholly electronic prepress operation, over 75 custom label presses including digital machinery, a laser diecutter, and over 500 employees who, as custom label experts, the company says, are encyclopedic about pressure sensitive labels used in every industry.

“We’ve come a long way in terms of our technology and being on the forefront of pressure sensitive label printing,” says Mike Gore, VP of operations. “We’ve held our name for now, but don’t let the ‘Discount’ fool you. We deliver the finest label craftsmanship, engineering and customer solutions in our industry – all with hallmark speed. And it’s because of the commitment and expertise of our employees that we’re successful. Many of our employees have been with us for decades, so we’re taking time to celebrate this wonderful milestone with all of them.”

Customer appreciation promotions are planned for the entire year.
