VIDEO: Grace Label & Domino

Steve Grace, President of Grace Label discusses his business, the impact of digital printing during COVID & the Supply Chain situation, and the partnership with Domino. “Grace Label saw an increase in business, we saw an increase in demand. Our customers got busier. The Domino was able to turn around orders we had not had before. We were able to develop new customers. And right now during the Supply Chain disruption, the Domino is fantastic because we are able to put something on there, move it over from our flexo presses and we are able to adapt and keep our customers rolling.” Click to view the video.
