Top 100 Manufacturers
Sales per employee dropped slightly to $143,843 from $145,710 last year, while sales per location increased to $11.4 million from $8.7 million last year.
The $4.38 billion in sales breaks down into $2.07 billion in forms (47.3 percent), $635 million in labels (14.5 percent), $583 million in commercial printing (13.3 percent), $530 million in direct mail (12.1 percent) and $558 million in other products (12.8 percent). Last year, total sales for the combination of labels, commercial printing and direct mail was $971.3 million, or 30.8 percent of all sales. This year, the same combination yielded $1.75 billion, or 40 percent of total sales. The jump is a result of a combination of factors. There are a couple of label companies in this year's Top 100 that were not on last year's list. Also, some primarily form manufacturers have purchased label companies, which changed the product ratios for these companies.
