Steven Label was founded in 1954 by Jim Steven. Since its inception, our business has revolved around the needs and requirements of OEM manufacturers. Because about 30% of our business is for Medical Device OEM's, our systems have been built with their even more specific requirements in mind. You can see how these requirements have flowed into each area of our business.

Our product line reflects the typical range of products that an OEM would buy. Our intention is to be able to supply all the needs of major manufacturers for pressure sensitive and related products. These include membrane switches, overlays, roll labels, ul/csa products, specialty silk-screen products (like instruction cards, static clingand domed labels), spacers, insulators, shields, precision die cut components and thermal transfer supplies. By design, we keep all of our processes in-house — including art creation, image setting, plate making, screen making, printing and post-press operations. This is the only way to meet the critical service requirements of our customers. This gives us the flexibility to process emergencies (overnight if needed), without being dependent on outside suppliers.

We have invested in the technology needed to support our customer's needs to get to market quickly. We have pioneered several new approaches to digital printing and laser cutting that allow us to create near-production-quality prototypes in just hours. We work very closely with engineers to help "prove" and "refine" their designs during the earliest stages of development.

All of our people, including traditionally "non-technical" positions like sales or Customer Service, are engineering oriented. We do extensive technical training, across all areas of the business. There are 2 ways this gets applied in the OEM setting: 1) Problem Solving. When an engineer needs to find the right adhesive to adhere to a polyurethane powder coating, we can identify the right adhesive system very quickly. 2) Cost reduction. Certain product categories, largely related to PC's, but also including Medical, require on-going engineering effort to reduce cost. New materials and technologies are coming on-stream all the time that can be used to do this. We employ all of the tools out there, as well as specially designed in-house processes to get to the lowest "sustainable" market price for these components.
