Hi-tech Printing & Labeling, Inc.

What Hi-tech Printing & Labeling, Inc. does

Hi-tech Printing & Labeling, Inc. is a Los Angeles-based custom label manufacturer founded in 1989 that produces fabric, woven, and printed labels, hang tags, and related garment identification components. The company's production stack combines modern weaving looms with an 8-color label press and soy-based ink, enabling short-run custom work alongside larger production runs across multiple label formats (woven, printed, cotton, hang tags, care/content labels). Manufacturing capacity is split across the United States, Korea, and China, giving customers a mix of domestic and offshore sourcing options from a single vendor.

The business operates on a direct B2B model, with ordering handled via its website, phone, and a request-quote workflow. It serves three primary end-markets: apparel and garment manufacturers (the lead segment), mattress and upholstery manufacturers, and beverage, restaurant, and retail operators requiring branded tags and labels. The customer base appears to skew toward small and mid-sized brands rather than large enterprise accounts, given the absence of named enterprise logos and the emphasis on quote-based custom work.

The company is privately held, employs between 1 and 10 people at its Staunton Avenue headquarters, and has been operating for more than 35 years. It markets itself nationally and internationally, and has begun building out service-area pages for specific U.S. metros (Salt Lake City and Dallas), suggesting a deliberate effort to generate inbound local demand from regional apparel and consumer-goods manufacturers. No external funding, acquisitions, partnerships, or management team disclosures appear in the available data.
