What Nordvalls does

Nordvalls Etikett AB is a Scandinavian label printing company headquartered in Sjöbo, Sweden, with operations in Sweden (Mölnlycke, Bjuv) and Norway (Trondheim, Oslo/Akershus). Founded in 1907 and self-described as Scandinavia's leading label printing company, Nordvalls manufactures self-adhesive labels using a multi-technology production base spanning digital, flexography, screen printing, and letterpress. Its product portfolio covers multi-color labels, multi-page and folder labels, blank labels for thermal transfer printing, shipping and logistics labels, security labels, RFID/alarm labels, linerless and environmentally friendly labels, closure and spray bottle labels, pharmaceutical labels, and in-mould labels, alongside consumables such as thermal transfer ribbons.

The company serves B2B customers across food and beverage (its primary vertical), pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and beauty, manufacturing and industrial, e-commerce/logistics, and paper/pulp industries, with named enterprise and mid-market accounts including Spendrups, Pågen, Leksands Knäckebröd, Klädesholmens Seafood, and NorgesGruppen's Folkets brand. Nordvalls is a company within the Possehl Identification Solutions group, with separate legal entities Nordvalls Etikett AB in Sweden and Nordvalls Etikett AS in Norway.

Revenue is generated through direct B2B sales on a quote-based pricing model, with prices determined by print run size, format, material, adhesive, bobbin configuration, and application method. The go-to-market relies on a sales-led motion with inside-sales support, an online quote request system, and the Web4labels customer portal for self-service order management, supplemented by content marketing, social channels, customer magazine (Etiketten i Fokus), educational webinars on regulatory topics such as PPWR, and free material sample kits (19 materials) to support consultative selling.
