AFFIX brings together AAi, Sticker Ranch, and Guaranteed Labels—three companies with distinct strengths, shared values, and one goal: helping customers find the right labeling solution for every application. Together, these companies design and manufacture labels, decals, and functional graphics for everything from industrial equipment and durable goods to consumer products and retail packaging.
While each company brings its own expertise, they all share the same approach: understanding the application first and building the right solution around it. Whether the need is a stock label, a custom decal, or a fully engineered identification program, our companies offer the experience, technology, and flexibility to deliver across screen, digital, and flexographic printing.
By combining specialized expertise with responsive service, they can move quickly, develop prototypes efficiently, and build lasting partnerships while helping customers select the right materials, adhesives, and production methods for long-term performance.
The equipment that runs the world depends on labels and applied graphics that are built to perform. Our companies create durable solutions for OEM, infrastructure, agriculture, energy, and transportation applications that demand long-term performance.
Great packaging does more than attract attention. It informs, protects, and reinforces a brand. Label solutions across the AFFIX companies combine shelf appeal with dependable performance throughout manufacturing, shipping, and everyday use.
Designed for maximum durability. A proven choice for anodized aluminum, metal, vinyl, and other industrial materials exposed to harsh environments.
Built for flexibility and speed. Perfect for short runs, variable data, prototypes, and projects requiring photo-quality graphics.
Optimized for high-volume production. An efficient solution for pressure-sensitive labels, shrink sleeves, and other roll-to-roll packaging applications.
Bring us the application and the environment it must survive in. What it mounts to. How long it needs to last. How many you need, and how often.
We select the right material, adhesive, ink, and print technology for the application—not simply what’s already on the press. The process follows the problem.
Prototype it. Test it. Evaluate it in real-world conditions. If something needs to change, we refine the specification and test again.
Once approved, your solution moves into production with consistent specifications, repeatable quality, and the same experienced team behind every run.
A label company may look like a collection of presses, equipment, and inventory. In reality, it’s a collection of people—the ones who know which adhesive survives a decade of diesel and washdowns, which ink holds its color in the sun, and which material performs when everything else fails.
That’s why we believe the best acquisitions begin with respect. We value the relationships, knowledge, and reputation built over years of hard work, and we’re committed to carrying those forward. Across our companies, we’ve built a culture that values craftsmanship, problem-solving, and the people behind every product.
If you’re considering what’s next for the company you’ve built, this year or years from now, we’d welcome the opportunity to talk.
