It's the first thing customers notice when they are trolling supermarket aisles and retail giants—labels stuck to bottles and jars and tags hanging from shirts, pants and shoes.

Headquartered in Butler, Wis., Western States Envelope & Label moved its label operations from a leased facility in Madison, Wis. to a new state-of-the-art label plant in Sun Prairie, Wis.

The company's need for a new label facility was funded by several years of double-digit sales growth.
