Label Power is bringing its Melbourne operation, Action Labels & Nameplates, under its own branding from 1 October, four years after it acquired the business.

James Malone, owner of Brisbane-based Label Power, said the move to one brand will mean improved service, and expanded product range, quicker turnaround, and a Melbourne showroom for all its products.

Malone said, “The merger will bring together the best of both companies, allowing us to offer enhanced customer service and support, and will allow your business access to a much wider range of label and tag stocks, materials as well as in house label printing and cutting solutions.

“Our combined operations will ensure faster production and delivery, so you can get your printed products when you need them, and all our most popular DT, TT and colour label printers will be on display in our new Melbourne showroom.”
