Hub Labels Is L.I.F.E. Certified by TLMI
- June 28, 2012
GLOUCESTER, MA | According to the Tag and Label Mfrs. Inst. (TLMI), Hub Labels, Hagerstown, MD, has been awarded L.I.F.E. (Label Initiative for the Environment) certification from TLMI.
The Project L.I.F.E. program was developed to assist TLMI members to find cost-effective ways to reduce their companies’ environmental footprint. L.I.F.E. is a program designed specifically for the narrow web marketplace and addresses four key elements of the narrow web printing and converting industry: clean production, energy and greenhouse gases, product and environmentally preferable materials, and management practices.
TLMI president Frank Sablone says, “I would like to congratulate Hub Labels on their recent TLMI L.I.F.E. certification. Hub marks the 33rd company facility that has achieved L.I.F.E. certification and the TLMI board of directors predicts that by the end of 2012 more than 40 companies will be L.I.F.E. certified. As brand owners continue to prioritize greening the supply chain, narrow web converters are recognizing the importance of certification and of positioning themselves as companies that truly value environmental stewardship.”
