labels made by rock n’ roll royalty

Cabinet label making with rock n’ roll? What have the Beatles got in common with your humble white cabinet labels you probably use every day? Most of the cabinet labels we make at All About Labels are made by Ringo “with a little help from my friends”. Let’s start by telling the story about how these labels are made.

All About Labels manufactures labels from bulk material. Basically, bulk label paper is shipped in by the pallets and then we take this label paper and use specialised label die cutting machines to take these very large paper rolls and convert them to make labels into the sizes, quantities, materials and adhesives needed by our customers. So how do the Beatles help?

One of our longest serving machine operators, Ivan, is a music enthusiast and a great Beatles fan. We have a tradition of naming our machines with names so when we took delivery of two machines back in 2013 we had to name them so we settled on Ringo and Jeremy. Ringo is an obvious explanation but for those who are not familiar, Jeremy Hilary Boob PhD describes himself as the “eminent physicist, polyglot classicist, prize-winning botanist, hard-biting satirist, talented pianist, good dentist too”. He becomes friends with Ringo in the Beatles movie - Yellow Submarine. He is also known as the Nowhere Man, hence the song. So, Jeremy and Ringo work together in our factory, only fitting we thought. But that’s not the end of the story.

Later we needed another die cutting machine just to keep up with demand. When the new machine arrived, this machine needed a name. We then had a majority of male names Ringo, Jeremy, Roger, Henry and one female name Lola for our machines. The office girls wanted the balance evened up a bit so we had to think hard. The new machine was to ease the load on Ringo so eventually we name her “Barb”. For explanation, Barbara Bach is Ringo’s wife and our Barb helps out beside Ringo every day in our factory! We also have machines called Ruby and Buffy and now that a new die cutting machine has arrived everyone is thinking hard about a suitable name. It’s a big decision, they are like babies, once they have a name it’s theirs for life! I guess we still have some Beatle names to go!

So, next time you purchase our A4 label sheets and roll labels they were probably made either by Ringo or Barb even though “they get by with a little help from my friends”- us humans.

All About Labels manufactures all sorts of labels but especially removable labels for cabinet makers. Hundreds of sizes, labels per roll, core size etc are available.
