About The Company
This is the legacy page for Western Shield Label Company. We have rebranded as Imprimus Labels and Packaging! You may have known us as Western Shield, or All-American Label and Packaging, or Lotus Labels, or DAC Labels, or Label Print Technologies (LPT), or The Label Smith. We are all now Imprimus. Our focus will still be what it’s always been: High Quality Labels. Without The Hassle. For both our customers and our team, that has always meant consistency. Deep materials and label expertise. Best-in-class service. And an experience that’s easy, convenient, and built around the customer’s needs. All of that will continue. That’s only possible when you bring together so many companies with similar philosophies and cultures. For those of you who have been long time loyalists to any of our individual companies, you will no doubt recognize the values you appreciated for so long and how we take them to new levels. Because the only thing that changes – besides our name – is that now we have more resources. More depth and breadth. More reach. Now we have manufacturing facilities in regions throughout the country. Allowing us to provide the service of a local partner, for anyone, anywhere. And as one company, with one name, it’s easier for us to connect with each other – and with our customers – across all our locations. So we can quickly and efficiently create labels that are not only accurate and efficient but also look great and are built to last. Our commitment to remaining true to our values and our quality is reflected in the new Imprimus name – a name selected because it relates to both “imprint” and “imprimatur,” meaning “a person’s acceptance or guarantee that something is of a good standard.” That’s what all of us were about as individual companies. And our promise to you is that it’s what the new Imprimus will always be about.
