Almost everything has to be labelled Carlos Naguera owner and president of The Label Factory at Sinclair Avenue Georgetown said of his business that he sees great potential After all as he puts it almost everything has to be labelled Currently the company is highly specialized dealing only in the pro duction of pressure sensitive labels Mr said the manufacturing company fills orders ranging from small and simple to large and colored custom labels Wardair American Express Kodak and Maple Lodge Farms in Halton Hills on Winston Churchill Boulevard are some of his customers However he explained there are a number of other companies in industries ranging from com puter technology to he has yet to tap into But Mr Naguera is currently un sure of how he will take advantage of these opportunities There are always different avenues opening and whichever one presents itself and is best suited to the company is the one well take Mr Naguera said Mr Naguera expects that within the next five years the company will be expanding Expansion will include the addition of a label pnn ting machine he has two that operate 16 hours a day and a move to a larger location But he will only move once the market stabilizes During its short life span the company has already experienced significant growth Mr Naguera founded the company four years ago as a one man one machine operation that

to copy an original to its exact col or It can also reduce and change the colors of an original print However Mr Naguera said the cost of the copier for large volumes is too much relative to the price printers can offer Mr Naguera said the market he was aiming at never materialized Mr however will not let one setback pull him down He will have a display booth set up at the Canadian Business Forms
