Over 35 Years of Labelling Excellence
Established. Experienced. Family-Run.
Established in Sheffield in 1989, Crown Labels began as a hot foil label printer serving industrial and manufacturing clients. Over the past 35+ years, we’ve evolved into one of the UK’s most trusted self-adhesive label manufacturers—supporting a wide range of sectors including trade supply, retail, healthcare, cosmetics, and logistics.
As a family-run business, we’re committed to delivering exceptional service, expert guidance, and fast turnaround times—backed by decades of experience and a customer-first approach.
Our Timeline
From Humble Beginnings to Industry Leader
1989
Establishing Crown Labels
Crown Labels was established in 1989, manufacturing self-adhesive labels from a small terraced house in Walkley, Sheffield!
1990s–2000s
Continued Expansion
Our swift response to client demands and customer focus enabled us to expand at various stages in the 1990s, with the introduction of our flexographic printing process and thermal transfer printing of barcodes and variable data. Sustained growth across all processes followed throughout the 2000s.
2010
The Big Move
We moved to a brand new manufacturing facility in 2010, located on the Sheffield/Rotherham border, near to the M1 and Meadowhall. This move to larger premises enabled the company to expand production capability with more usable space that was much better suited to long term growth.
2015
Investing in Digital
In 2015 we opened a new digital suite with a state-of-the-art Epson Press and dedicated finishing line. This enables us to achieve short-run – full colour labels, offering a more comprehensive range of label printing services to our customers across a broader range of markets.
2019
30 Years of Service
In 2019 we celebrated our 30th anniversary. We also made our most significant investment to date in a Digital UV Inkjet label press, enabling us to offer an even more competitive service across a broader range of requirements.
2022-2024
Digital Expansion
Further investment in digital equipment with another UV inkjet print press and two digital finishing lines from A B Graphics purchased.
2025
Sheeted Labels
Having only been able to supply on-roll and fanfolded labels previously, we have recently expanded into sheeted labels with the purchase of an RTS 330 in 2025.
