MidSouth Tag & Label, Homewood, Al., a leading manufacturer of tags, labels, placards and other solutions, has acquired new cutting-edge finishing equipment: the CEI IMAX14T ISR – Inspector Slitter Rewinder. This new addition reflects the company’s commitment to ongoing technological improvements, speeding up order processing, and elevating customer service.
Kyle Davis, general manager of MidSouth Tag & Label, emphasized the impact of this investment, stating, “This equipment allows us to better serve our customers by enhancing the speed and precision of our production processes, specifically by improving our finishing department’s workflow. With the CEI IMAX14T ISR in place, we can complete orders faster and get them out the door to meet our clients’ needs with greater efficiency.”
The CEI IMAX14T ISR has an advanced camera system designed to automatically detect and correct any misprints or issues in real time. This system is crucial for preventing serious issues, such as having two barcodes on one roll of items—an important quality control measure for our customers. “The camera technology works in record time and stops print production if it detects any errors,” Davis continued. “It’s an extra layer of quality assurance that helps us avoid mistakes that could impact our clients.”
Additionally, MidSouth Tag & Label has invested in new box-making equipment to further streamline its operations. This equipment will allow the company to automate more tasks, significantly reducing production time for customers who need quick deadlines and fast turnarounds for pristine products. “The new box-making equipment will help us ensure that packaging is ready as soon as production is complete, speeding up the entire process from start to finish,” said Davis.
The company is also focused on overall process improvements across its operations. “We’re working on enhancing our entire process,” Davis added. “With these upgrades, we’ll be able to streamline orders—from handling inventory orders to getting products to our customers quicker than ever before. Through the rest of the year we anticipate eliminating any potential delays in our workflow and continuing to work faster and stronger.”
Davis also highlighted the broader impact of these investments on the company’s culture and values: “This is definitely a new and comprehensive way of thinking in our industry—technology forward, industry-leading, and people-centric. It aligns perfectly with our core values of making our employees’ jobs easier and more fulfilling. All these advancements are about putting our people at the center of what we do.”
The excitement within the MidSouth Tag & Label team is palpable. Davis shared, “Our team is thrilled to see these improvements take shape. It’s not just about better efficiency; it’s about making our daily work lives more rewarding and exciting. Having state-of-the-art equipment that enhances our work environment and processes makes a huge difference in our morale and enthusiasm.”
As MidSouth Tag & Label continues to implement advanced technologies, the company reaffirms its dedication to delivering top-quality products with faster production times and superior customer service.
