Flexible Focus

To get started, Associated Labels purchased a 3-color Mark Andy flexo press. The move into the prime label market proved to be a successful endeavor, as today, Ashworth says the company is one of the largest suppliers of labels in Western Canada and the Pacific Northwest. It operates around the clock in a facility of more than 50,000 sq. ft., with 120 employees, and 11 printing presses. With the growth of the company, it is now organized around four distinct production divisions: labels, flexible packaging, packaging equipment, and digital printing.
