About
Your Label is the Face Of Your Brand
As a business owner, you know there’s a lot of competition out there. The trick is to be able to quickly and effectively communicate why your product is the best choice for your customers. A great label can do that – and more!
You’ve put significant thought into your product, and with our guidance, state-of-the-art technology, and expert staff, we will ensure the finished product helps you own the shelf. It’s your only chance to make a first impression, and we have the expertise to make that impression a great one.
First-Rate Facility
Okay, we get it: not everyone is as jazzed about label printing as we are. But we’d like to try change that. If you were to come to the Lorpon facility (and yes, you’re invited!), you’d see manufacturing equipment from across technologies.
With our presses, we can almost do anything! This includes digital, flexographic, embossing, debossing, screen printing, cold foil, hot foil, variable content, personalization…we could go on. Small or large volume, we have you covered.
We’re so kitted out that we’re agnostic to different print technologies. We have all the tools, so rather than pushing one or two capabilities, we can concentrate on advising you on the best labelling solutions for your needs. And because we are the manufacturer with all production in-house, you can do on-site press approvals – adding efficiency and giving you more control.
Lorpon Loves Labels
A label isn’t just a sticker that goes on your product. From the point of view of a potential customer, it IS the product. Everything a person needs to know – from ingredients to instructions to usages to company ethos – must be expertly communicated in that space.
That’s why our sales and service staff are more than just order takers – they’re knowledgeable advisors that will help you create a label with serious shelf appeal. We have people on-site ready to help you with your concept, catch market-specific issues (condensation on bottles, for example), and decide on the best technology to bring your ideas to life.
Our focus is service.
Size Doesn't Matter
With all this good stuff under the hood, it might seem like we only do huge jobs. But that’s not true – we can accommodate any customer, regardless of size. It’s actually one of the reasons we invested in the industry leading digital label press from HP Indigo – so we can handle smaller print runs in a cost-effective way.
It all boils down to this: Lorpon is a family business that takes pride in long-term relationships and in doing the job right. We believe in transparency and honesty, and provide great service, no matter the client size. To us, everyone matters.
We Are Canadian, eh!
Obviously being Canadian doesn’t make us local to everyone, but we operate from a perspective that acknowledges the importance of having local partners. We try to take a local approach to all our jobs, finding the things that make a product unique, and using our expertise to deliver the very best packaging. No matter where you’re from, we can ship overnight. And, if you or your product happens to be Canadian too, all the better. We understand the market well.
Meet Our Team
Bob Pontarollo
CEO
Bob founded Lorpon Labels in 1985 with one goal: to provide his customers with the best products and the best service possible. And that’s what he’s been doing for three decades – building solid relationships with loyal clients, many of whom have stuck with this family-owned firm since day one.
There’s a word you’ll hear a lot when you talk to Bob: quality. He doesn’t skimp on service, or on equipment or materials. So when it came time to choose a digital press, he went with his team’s recommendation to invest in a top-of-the-line HP Indigo WS6800 digital press. Not only does the new press provide premium results, investing in the best available technology has really opened up what Lorpon can do for customers. Need to print on vinyl? Create a hologram? Produce customized pouches? The press can do all that and more, and the Lorpon team has the knowledge and skills to really leverage its potential.
“I’ve surrounded myself with a great team; everyone here has my mentality. Profit doesn’t come first – it’s service and quality. Profit comes when you do all the other things right.”
Andrea Pontarollo
President
Andrea grew up eating, sleeping and breathing labels; she was six years old when her parents founded Lorpon. She started off answering phones and making address labels, and spent her after-school hours and summers working in every part of the business to develop a comprehensive, ground-up knowledge of everything the company does.
These days, Andrea combines that history with next-generation thinking. As President, there’s no part of the business she doesn’t touch. Supplier pricing, problem solving, new software implementation, research, financials, analysis, she does it all. Highly organized and deadline driven, she has played a key role in helping the company grow – and has been instrumental in creating a warm, relaxed culture that’s welcoming for clients and employees alike.
“We’re not really a hierarchical culture here. Everyone’s ideas are valued, and everyone is empowered to make decisions. It’s a great atmosphere to work in – we’re a family-owned business, and that means we treat everyone like family.”
