David Hayes

What David Hayes does

David Hayes Services is a privately held, owner-operated distributor based in Macomb, Michigan (53493 Azalea Drive), operating from a single headquarters location. The company sells thermal transfer labels and ribbons in stock fanfold and roll formats (including 4" x 6" and 4" x 6.5" labels and 24CT ribbons at 108mm x 360M), label printers from Tharo, Datamax, and its own H400 model, and EasyLabel label design and print management software. Its product portfolio is entirely sourced through authorized distribution partnerships with EasyLabel, Tharo, and Datamax, with no proprietary R&D or in-house manufacturing disclosed.

The business runs on a direct-to-customer sales motion: orders and inquiries are taken by phone, email, or an online contact form on a basic static website, with no e-commerce checkout. Pricing varies by format and size (fanfold vs. 8" OD rolls vs. 6" OD rolls, sold by stack, roll, or carton), but specific prices are not publicly listed. Revenue is generated through hardware sales (printers), one-time software licensing (EasyLabel), and consumable sales (labels and ribbons). Post-sale support is delivered via a TeamViewer remote-support channel, and downloadable resources (H400 flyer, Program Launcher zip) are available from the website.

The company serves SMBs in Michigan with labeling needs for product identification, shipping, inventory management, and barcoding, taking a horizontal segmentation approach rather than targeting any specific vertical. No public revenue figures, headcount, funding rounds, management team bios, certifications, or M&A activity are disclosed, and there is no presence on social media or app-store platforms. The operation appears to be a small, founder-led reseller business with limited geographic reach beyond its home state.

Broad incumbents

• Zebra Technologies: Global manufacturer of thermal transfer and direct thermal label printers, plus barcode/RFID consumables and label design software. Comparable because Zebra's products sit in the same category families that David Hayes Services distributes (Tharo, Datamax, H400), and Zebra also relies on a network of regional distributors like David Hayes.
• DYMO / Newell Brands: Manufacturer and seller of consumer and SMB-grade label printers plus label consumables, with broad distribution including major online retailers. Adjacent to David Hayes's industrial thermal-transfer business, serving a slightly lower-end but overlapping SMB labeling market.
• Loftware: Provider of enterprise labeling software (Loftware NiceLabel) for designing and printing barcode and compliance labels. Comparable as the enterprise-tier software counterpart to EasyLabel, which David Hayes Services distributes, targeting many of the same industrial labeling customers.
• Avery Products (Avery Dennison): Major manufacturer of blank and printable labels (sheet and thermal), and a seller of compatible consumer-grade thermal printers. Comparable on the consumables dimension where David Hayes Services competes (thermal transfer labels/ribbons), with overlap on SMB customers.
• SATO Holdings: Global manufacturer of industrial thermal transfer label printers and associated ribbons and labels, sold primarily through VAR and distributor channels. Comparable as a manufacturer-side counterpart to the printer brands (Tharo/Datamax) that David Hayes Services resells, with overlapping end customers.
• Seagull Scientific (BarTender): Developer of BarTender label design and printing software, sold through resellers. Directly comparable to the EasyLabel software line that David Hayes Services distributes, serving the same 'design-and-print labels' use case.
• Honeywell (Intermec / Print Solutions): Honeywell's Productivity Solutions segment manufactures industrial thermal transfer label printers, barcode scanners, and mobile printers, and relies on regional distributors. Highly comparable product overlap with the printer brands David Hayes Services distributes.
• Brady Corporation: Manufacturer and distributor of industrial labels, label printers (including thermal transfer models), and identification software serving safety, laboratory, and industrial markets. Comparable in that Brady sells the same combination of thermal printers, consumables, and label-design software that David Hayes Services offers through its Tharo/Datamax/EasyLabel lineup.

Direct peers

• OnlineLabels.com: Major online direct-to-customer distributor of blank and custom-printed labels (sheet and roll formats) plus compatible printers and software. Directly comparable to David Hayes Services in the SMB thermal and sheet-label distribution space, only at far greater scale and with a full ecommerce funnel.

Emerging players

• IDPRT (iDPRT): Chinese manufacturer of thermal transfer and direct thermal label printers (including an H400-class industrial model) sold globally through online channels. Comparable because they target the exact same product tier (industrial 4-inch thermal printers, e.g., H400) that David Hayes Services distributes, increasingly via Amazon and direct ecommerce.
