JR LABELS – OUR STORY

Founded in 1978 by John Ronald Carson (Ron), J.R. Labels or J.R. Agencies as it was originally named, was set up as a s/a tape, labels and packaging supplies company. Working from home in Rathfarnham, Ron was joined by David Lesware early in 1981. Shortly after, his son Andrew also joined the team. They soon realised there was a strong demand for plain and printed self adhesive labels from the market with only a few companies manufacturing labels at that time. Investing initially in overprinting machinery, we realised the future was in converting and our first printing press was purchased. J.R. Labels as it then became known grew from a small company trading in packaging supplies to that of a Self Adhesive Label Manufacturer with special emphasis on supplying the print and stationery trade.

Rapid expansion and increased production required larger premises and we moved to Kellystown Road, Rathfarnham but by 1991 we had outgrown this site and moved to No 23 Clondalkin Industrial Estate. By the mid nineties, we seized an opportunity to develop a custom built 8000 square foot facility following an investment in more modern technology, and we moved to our current location at 9/10 Crag Crescent, from where we continue to operate to this day.

Through the highs and lows of tough economic times in the eighties, nineties and the 21st century, our mission and trade ethos at J.R. Labels has always remained constant.

“OUR AIM IS TO PRINT HIGH QUALITY SELF ADHESIVE LABELS AT COMPETITIVE PRICES TO THE PRINT AND ALLIED TRADES WITH A STRONG FOCUS ON QUALITY, SERVICE AND TO STRIVE FOR CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.”

Our ethos and strong emphasis on values continues to this day. Although Ron has now retired and with the sad loss of David early in 2015, JR Labels continues to be run by Andrew with the support of a very dedicated and loyal team, most of whom
are with us for between 18 and 25 years.

Why not take a moment to visit our Meet the Team page and find out a little more about the people standing by to help with your labelling needs.

Thank you for taking the time to visit us at JR Labels and I very much appreciate your support and loyalty throughout our 40 years in business.
