Over 50 years of Custom Label Printing Experience
In 1965, United Label Corporation was founded in downtown Newark, New Jersey. The four founders had years of experience in custom label printing.
The late 1960’s was not a fortuitous time. It was especially challenging to found a business in downtown Newark at this time. United Label Corporation had snipers on the roof during the riot of this time period. Eventually, United Label moved out of downtown Newark. They soon built their own factory in Newark’s Ironbound district . This new location was several miles to the west of their original location. United Label has been in Newark’s Ironbound district ever since.
In 1996 John O’Connor joined United Label Corporation. While at the same time, the original company founders began to retire. John started in sales of the company’s custom pressure sensitive labels. John worked his way up to general manager, Finally, John O’Connor became the sole owner of United Label Corporation in 2011.
