About Pro Label International
Your Single-Source Labeling and Traceability Partner
Since 1994, Pro Label International has been the trusted labeling partner for produce growers, packers, and shippers across North America and beyond. We're a family-owned business built on one core principle: your success depends on reliable labeling, reliable equipment, and reliable support — all from a single source.
We don't just sell labels and machines. We solve problems. Whether you're managing the complexity of perishable supply chains, staying compliant with retailer requirements, or preparing for industry standards like Sunrise 2027, we work alongside you with deep expertise, real-world knowledge, and equipment engineered to perform.
Mission
Pro Label International’s mission is to help food and industrial manufacturers achieve greater item-level visibility through reliable, high-speed labeling and tagging automation. We provide compact, durable narrow-web applicators, pressure-sensitive labels, RFID tags, and custom-engineered systems that improve traceability, strengthen data accuracy, and support more efficient supply chains. From equipment design and manufacturing to integration and ongoing support, we help customers prepare for evolving food safety, retailer, and product-identification requirements.
What We Do
Labels
Food-safe pressure-sensitive labels designed for produce, dairy, meat, seafood, and prepared foods. From traditional PLU formats to advanced GS1 2D barcodes and RFID-ready configurations, we print labels that perform in cold cases, on high-speed lines, and at scale. Our labels are manufactured to tight tolerances and delivered on schedule.
Labeling Equipment
From our proven PL 1000 and PL 2000 label applicators to print-on-demand systems, our equipment is built for packhouse environments — robust, straightforward, and engineered for long-term reliability. We offer equipment configurations for singulated labeling, pallet and case labeling, and specialized applications. Our machines are designed for lower cost of ownership and ease of maintenance.
Traceability & Compliance Support
The supply chain is getting more complex. We help you navigate Sunrise 2027 requirements, FSMA 204 traceability obligations, and retailer-specific mandates for data capture and recall readiness. Whether that means designing encoding strategies for 2D barcodes, evaluating RFID pilots, or implementing serialization workflows, we combine labeling and equipment expertise with supply chain thinking.
Who We Serve
We work with businesses of every size — from single-location produce packers to large integrated operations spanning produce, dairy, meat, seafood, and prepared foods. Our customers include growers, shippers, packers, importers, and distributors across North America. We also serve industrial customers with specialized labeling requirements.
What they have in common: they need labeling to work reliably, support their business growth, and keep up with evolving regulatory and retailer demands.
Our Difference
Integrated Solutions
We don't hand you off between vendors. You get equipment, labels, design support, and technical guidance from the same team. That makes problem-solving faster and keeps your costs transparent.
Real Customer Relationships
Over 30 years, we've built relationships with packers and growers who trust us because we show up, we understand their business, and we deliver. Many of our customers have worked with us for decades.
Engineered for the Real World
Our equipment is built for packhouse realities: high-volume, high-speed environments where reliability matters. Our labels are tested in actual cold cases and high-humidity conditions. We don't overclaim; we deliver.
Forward-Thinking Partnership
The produce labeling industry is changing faster than it has in decades. Sunrise 2027, RFID adoption, traceability requirements, and sustainability pressures are reshaping how supply chains work. We're actively engaged in industry standards (GS1 initiatives, RFID development, compliance frameworks) so we can help you navigate what's coming.
Technical Expertise
Our team understands labeling equipment at the engineering level, label materials and printing processes, and supply chain requirements. We can talk through your problem and recommend the right solution — not just the one we happen to sell.
Built for Growth
We're a family business in evolution. We're expanding our team, deepening our capabilities in RFID and traceability solutions, and modernizing how we work with customers. That means faster response times, better technical support, and products and services that stay ahead of industry needs.
Our founder and CEO Sean Watson has been in the labeling business since Pro Label's founding. His engineering background and decades of customer relationships shape how we think about every product and service we offer.
