Jeff Dunphy, 2013 TLMI Converter of the Year

Jeff Dunphy, president/CEO of Design Label Manufacturing, was presented with packagePRINTING’s 2013 TLMI Converter of the Year award at TLMI’s Annual Meeting held this week in San Antonio, TX.

Dunphy has been at the helm of his company since taking over from his father, Paul, in 1999. The company just passed a 50-year milestone and supplies labels and paperboard packaging to diverse markets including household chemicals, food and beverage, personal care, durable goods, nutraceuticals and marketing and advertising specialties. Although its main business focus is growing as a one-stop packaging shop, it also does commercial printing. “At the end of the day it’s all about giving ourselves multiple opportunities to speak to the same customer base. It definitely enhances our chances for growth to be able to sell a diverse range of products.”
