An Open Letter to Our Customers as We Look Ahead to 2026
Trade Labels. Trusted.
Three simple words — but ones that define exactly who we are and how we work.
As Hine Labels enters its 46th year in the label industry, we’re taking a moment to reflect on what has brought us here and to share our vision for where we’re going next.
The difference between trade label suppliers and traditional label providers is straightforward — and fundamental.
That distinction shapes everything we do. Our expertise lies in manufacturing: our processes, our innovation, and our ability to adapt to evolving requirements.
While we care deeply about end-users and the people applying the labels, we rely on print management companies, brokers, and fellow producers to own those customer relationships.
There are no blurred lines. No deviation.
Hine is and always will be, a trade supplier.
Trust sits at the core of absolutely everything we do.
Our customers trust us:
This trust isn’t assumed — it’s earned, project by project, year by year.
It is the foundation on which our partnerships are built.
As a trade supplier, it is our responsibility to provide a breadth of labelling solutions, delivered through the right technology for the job.
At Hine, that means supporting a wide range of industries, sectors, and specifications through:
Our finishing department complements this with advanced capabilities, including peel & reveal, premium embellishments, and specialist finishes.
But capability alone isn’t enough.
True support sometimes means having the uncomfortable conversation — helping customers think through specification, manufacturing constraints, and application variables to ensure the desired outcome is achievable.
Support isn’t always saying “yes”; sometimes it’s guiding a better solution.
This mindset — adaptability with honesty — is why we’re still here after 46 years.
Recent investment has strengthened our foundations for what comes next:
Looking Forward to 2026 and Beyond
2026 marks an exciting chapter for Hine. With renewed goals, a refreshed team, and our trusted philosophy firmly intact, we want to thank everyone who has helped bring us to this point — and speak directly to both our long-standing partners and those just beginning conversations with us.
You are our salesforce.
We are here to produce.
We are here to support.
And we are ready to be better — for you.
With your support in 2026 and beyond, we’ll continue to grow: more people, more capability and more successful label projects. We look forward to what we’ll achieve together.
If you’d like to discuss a project, explore our trade services, or you’re a producer looking to outsource — whatever the reason — we’re here.
