Hanes Erie

What Hanes Erie does

Hanes Erie, Inc. is a privately held B2B contract decoration company founded in 1985 in Fairview, Pennsylvania, specializing in the application of coatings, graphics, and labels to glass, plastic, and metal containers on behalf of brand owners. Its core service offering spans spray coating (proprietary scratch- and scuff-resistant frost, soft-touch, translucent, opaque tint, and UV-cure finishes), multi-color screen printing (including a reportedly exclusive Seven Color Servo Bottle machine capable of +/- .015mm registration on large glass spirit bottles), pad printing, hot stamping, and pressure-sensitive label application. Daily production capacity exceeds 500,000 decorated items, executed through 14 coating machines and multiple Servo 4-Color systems housed in a 170,000+ sq ft facility on a 17-acre campus that was materially expanded in 2023 with a 40,500 sq ft warehouse addition (Building 4) and prior 15,000 sq ft warehouse build-out.

The company operates as a direct B2B job shop rather than a product vendor: enterprise brand owners in cosmetics, fragrance, personal care, beverage, pharmaceuticals, and home fragrance engage Hanes Erie for quote-based decoration projects with pricing dependent on container type, finish complexity, volume, and substrate. The public customer roster reads as a who's-who of prestige beauty and fragrance (L'Oreal, Estee Lauder, Chanel, MAC, Clinique, Lancome, Calvin Klein, Avon, Elizabeth Arden, Tom Ford, Benefit, Bond No. 9, Origins, Bobbi Brown, Aveda, Skin Ceuticals, Tru Fragrance, Abercrombie & Fitch) plus a smaller beverage book (Rain Vodka, Old Dominick, Tallarico, Hawaiian Tropic). Hanes Erie holds ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, uses direct sales via its website and a small in-house customer service team, and has no public revenue, funding history, or parent/subsidiary structure disclosed. Production workers are sourced via local temporary staffing agencies, while the company's expansion in 2023 (land, buildings, electric forklifts, exclusive Servo machine) indicates ongoing self-funded capacity build.
