It’s been quite some time since I’ve had a chance to write an article in our Polylabel Blog. We’ve been rather busy of late improving our processes and introducing some new products to the fold. In fact, we will be launching a new web site, Hololabel.com that will deal exclusively with our Custom Hologram Label services.

In the meantime, we’re honored to learn that Polylabel and our company President, Fred Cressman, have been included in L&NW’s (Label & Narrow Web) March issue in an excellent article written by Steve Katz regarding Security Labeling!

Polylabel was approach to comment on this topic as part of the article, which we were more than happy to do.
