History
40 Years in the self adhesive industry
What began in 1986 with the manufacturing of franking machine labels has grown into one of the UK’s most trusted providers of labelling solutions across many industries. From our early years supplying into Europe with quality products, to relocating into a purpose-built 30,000 sq. ft. production facility in the Black Country, our history has always been defined by progress, investment, and solution providing.
Over the decades, we’ve continued to adapt to the needs of our customers, introducing new product ranges, pioneering brochures and websites, and investing in advanced printing technology. With the deployment of state-of-the-art Andy presses in 2023 and our integration into the Fortoak Group in 2025, UK Labels stands stronger than ever.
Our story is not just about growth, but about a continuous commitment to performance, quality, and customer trust, principles that remain at the heart of everything we do today.

Our Mission
At UK Labels, our mission is simple yet powerful: to deliver consistent labels that perform flawlessly in their application. For us, quality is a process, from working closely at source with mills and refining manufacturing controls to data-driven improvements and rigorous testing to industry-recognised testing procedures; we ensure every label meets required performance and specification tolerances. By prioritising consistency of product through the monitoring of performance data, we provide solutions that businesses can depend on, whether a single box or millions of sheets.
Our Vision
Our vision is to build on over 40 years of trusted expertise while investing in the future of labelling. Over the next decade, we aim for steady, controlled growth by expanding into roll-label production, strengthening our people through ongoing training, and embracing the latest technologies. With the backing of the Fortoak Group, our focus is on becoming a leading player in the roll-label sector while continuing to deliver sheet labels to the highest standards. Above all, we seek to grow without losing the family-driven care and customer-first approach that has defined us from the very beginning.
Team
Meet The Leadership
Andy Stokes
Exec. Director and General Manager
At UK Labels, we’ve spent decades perfecting the craft of making labels you can trust. We start at the source, working directly with mills to select materials that meet strict performance standards. Once the material arrives, we don’t just stack it on a shelf. We store it in conditions that keep it in prime shape no curling edges, no warping, no moisture creeping in. 
Paper is a living thing; treat it badly, and it will let you know when you try to print on it. When it’s time to send it out, we seal every pack in moisture-proof plastic so it arrives exactly as it left us. Inside, you’ll find clear, practical instructions on how to get the best results through your printer the right settings, the do’s and don’ts, and even a helpline number if you need advice. 
It’s all there because we’d rather prevent problems than fix them later. It’s a process built on knowledge, care, and the promise that every label will perform exactly as it should.
“We influence quality right from the tree onwards,not just when it’s on the press.”
