AM Labels celebrates 30 years in business

Packaging Solutions

Established in 1996, AM Labels Limited is celebrating its 30th anniversary, marking three decades of innovation and commitment to its customers.

The company officially marked the occasion on Friday, 16 October 2026 with a visit from the Mayor of Kettering, councillor Lauren Glanfield, who unveiled a commemorative plaque in the AM Labels reception area.

Managing director Tony Mariani thanked staff for their continued hard work and dedication with a presentation that highlighted the company’s milestones and achievements, followed by a celebratory lunch.

AM Labels began as a one man operation, with Tony producing custom labels from his home using just two printers. As demand grew, the company expanded its offering to provide customers with the opportunity to invest in their own labelling equipment, helping them improve and streamline their operations. Today, AM Labels operates from a 14,000 square feet premises that incorporates a label manufacturing and production facility. The premises also includes the company’s technical experience centre, where customers can see a variety of label printers and automation equipment in action, through live demonstrations, before making a purchase.

With a comprehensive portfolio of products from many of the industry’s leading manufacturers, AM Labels supports businesses across the UK with innovative label printing and automated solutions. Serving a diverse range of sectors, the company provides label applicators, print and apply systems, colour label printers, label finishers, RFID technology, handheld scanning, barcoding technology and more, helping customers optimise their operations and drive efficiency.

Looking ahead, AM Labels is committed to continually strengthening its product and service offering while placing an increasing emphasis on sustainability. For example, in response to increasing demand for sustainable labelling solutions, it introduced new labelling materials in 2022, including sugar cane paper labels and labels composed of 30% sun dried grass fibre (hay) and 70% sustainably sourced pulp. Having received the Epson ColorWorks Sustainability Award 2026, the company aims to build on this achievement by further reducing its environmental impact and helping customers make more environmentally conscious choices.

Tony Mariani commented, ‘Reaching this milestone is a fantastic achievement for everyone at AM Labels and I am truly proud of how the business has grown over the past 30 years. AM Labels' success is the result of the hard work and dedication of our incredible team, the loyalty of our customers and the strong partnerships we have developed over the years. We never stand still, and that mindset will continue to shape our future, as we invest in new technologies, embrace more sustainable ways of working and continue delivering the high levels of service that our customers expect from us.’
