A Company

You Can Depend On

Pro Label International has been serving the fruit and vegetable packers and growers of the USA, Canada, and Mexico since 1994. In fact, many of the original installations are still in place over 20 years later, meeting our customers' labeling needs and continuing to save them money. 


Our machines were developed to accomplish a simple objective: Place a label on a piece of produce in the simplest, most cost-effective way. You have seen other systems that require careful maintenance and expensive contracts. Our approach is different - Look at our machines. You'll see that there are a few moving parts. And the ones that do move are made easy to service right in the packing house. They are designed to provide years of breakdown-free operation.

Our Business Model:

Freedom from Bundling

A common complaint that we get from new customers is that they needed to pay a single price, based on annual label volume commitments as well as machine "lease" and technical support from the competition – whether they needed it or not. Our machines are robust, simple to operate, competitively priced, and the packer owns the machine. We do not subject our clients to random machine upgrades and price increases, as is the case with our competition.


The Pro Label business model is simple and cost effective.

LABELS FOR YOUR PRODUCE

Labels Specifically Formulated

For Your Produce

We make our produce labels specifically to integrate with our machines for the best possible performance of your produce labeling system. Since our inception, we have had an active materials development and manufacturing improvement program. Our intent is to manufacture the best labels for your produce at the best price and ensure that the labels work properly in Pro Label equipment. We manufacture a proprietary, FDA/EU compliant material that is highly flexible and conforms to the wide variety of produce. We even have special adhesives for difficult to label products. 


We can help with all phases of label production. We can use your existing art and adapt it to the size needed for labeling produce, or we can work with you to design your own completely unique label. 


We have no annual minimum purchase requirements. You order what you need. And if you find your crop has changed in terms of size mix or volume, you can adjust mid season. No more rooms full of labels waiting to be used. You control your inventory. Don't wait, get started today!

Print On Demand

Cost-Effective Print Labeling Solutions

Advantages of Print-in-Demand

1) Inventory management: Print-on-Demand allows the packer to print labels for ALL varieties as they are needed / they never run out of the appropriate label and save the management “headaches” associated with forecasting demand and committing financial resources ahead of time for producing varieties that might not be packed in the coming season. POD reduces the physical stocking and management of specific inventory levels for multiple-label SKUs, which improves efficiency and reduces cost.


2) Better Pricing Per ‘000 labels: Print-on-Demand simplifies the ordering process. Fewer label SKUs need to be ordered and label quantities are consolidated into fewer SKUs. This lowers the price per 1000 labels. The Flexo printing process is more efficient at higher order quantities and Pro Label passes cost efficiencies on to the customer through better pricing as order volume increases. 


3) CHANGEOVER: With pre-printed labels, the packing line must be stopped when changing between produce varieties. Label rolls must be removed from each labeling machine and the correct pre-printed label roll must be installed. With Print-on-Demand, no physical roll changes are necessary. This saves time and improves efficiency on the packing line.

    Label Company FAQs 


    • Will the company offering the equipment take responsibility for both the machine and labels?

      Having one source of responsibility has proven critical in the product labeling industry. There should be no question about who is responsible for the performance of your system. When the labels and the machine are designed to work together, you have assured the best performance with the fewest problems. One supplier for both means only one call for all your questions and needs.

    • How widely distributed is the equipment?

      Dealing with a company that sells and distributes equipment in more than one geographic area is a plus for you. It means that experience, parts, supplies, and maintenance services are available in more than just one location. 

    • How many packing houses are using the equipment?

      A company with a large customer base ensures that parts and services are always available. When a system is in wide use, it is economically viable for the provider to continue to manufacture parts and provide service. Avoid suppliers offering limited installations. The companies that sold those systems often stop servicing them and supplying parts because they cannot afford to support a limited market. With Pro Label, you can be sure of continued support - now in our third decade!

    • What are the long-term economics of a particular system?

      When choosing a product labeling system, the best decision is the one that yields the lowest cost with the least maintenance. The Pro Label system is by far the least costly major produce labeling system supplier. Many of our customers have used their systems for twenty years. The simplicity of our system and the fact that it is built to last will mean years of cost savings for you.
