Standard Register, a leader in
workflow, content and analytics, has been honored for the tenth consecutive
year by Daimler Trucks North America (DTNA) with the Masters of Quality
Supplier Award for its specialty labels. The award was presented by DTNA's Sean
Taggart, supplier management quality engineer, to employees at the company's
Radcliff, Kentucky, specialty label printing facility.
"A label is just a critical
component on the truck, and if it's not right or ready to go, it stops their
production line," said Joseph Klenke, President, Product Marking and
Decoration, for Standard Register. "We have worked hard over the past 20
years to help ensure Daimler Trucks remains competitive, and are proud to be
viewed as a role model for the commercial vehicle supplier base."
The Radcliff facility produces
pressure-sensitive labels in several ways - including digital printing, screen
printing and with flexography. Standard Register digitally produces an array of
safety-focused labels to protect the commercial vehicle operator from
on-the-job hazards. The company's expertise in materials science helps ensure
these durable labels last for the life of the vehicle.
Ultra high-speed, high-quantity
flexographic printing is used for items such as shipping labels, statement-form
label combinations, price stickers and packing lists. In both processes, the
label construction is multi-web and can be multiple-sided, with inline printing
and lamination of the various webs.
As a Masters of Quality supplier,
Standard Register has been judged by DTNA to provide top quality components for
its Freightliner and Western Star truck brands, as determined on a Balanced
Scorecard covering quality, delivery, technology and cost performance. Standard
Register produces 15 million labels per day for a wide range of uses, including
product marking, shipping, safety and work in process.
