Label Industry Expertise

Quality Control

The excellence of our products and services are Grand Rapids Label's highest priority. This is true from the start of each project through delivery and usage by our customers. Sophisticated programs and cutting-edge technology like our high-speed digital vision systems enable us to provide exceptional quality in everything we do.

We uphold Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements, and maintain inspections and certifications for all appropriate industries, including IATF certification for automotive label production, and American Institute of Baking (AIB) certifications. See below for additional certifications and related information.

Label Industry Expertise

Nothing contributes more to the quality of our products and services than our skilled, dedicated people. Highly qualified, trained and knowledgeable, our staff has comprehensive experience across a wide range of industries, including:

  • Automotive: underhood, drivetrain, interior, etc.

Procedures & Systems

We have developed and implemented stringent procedures and systems to enhance quality control, with annually conducted, first-, second- and third-party audits to ensure their accuracy and appropriate use.

Among these is an electronic, "first in, first out" system that assures product shelf life by releasing older components from controlled storage locations first. This provides complete traceability for every roll, both forward (lots shipped to customers) and backward (materials received from suppliers). Our Corrective And Preventive Action (CAPA) program ensures investigation of assignable causes for any product or process issues, whether internal or external, and that suitable countermeasures are implemented.
