Challenge
National Tube Supply relied on outsourced labels that often failed in industrial environments. Labels peeled, faded, or didn’t fit the application—slowing down work, creating confusion, and making it harder to stay organized across busy facilities.
Results
With DuraLabel Premium Vinyl Labels, National Tube Supply brought labeling in-house across multiple locations. Teams now create durable, custom labels for safety, inventory, 5S, and equipment—cutting delays, reducing costs, and supporting continuous improvement across all shifts. The rugged construction ensures labels stay put and readable, even in tough industrial environments.
Key Products
"DuraLabel is always our go-to for testing and low volume projects. We use DuraLabel as an instant solution to many different needs at all levels of the facility."
The Challenge
Before switching to DuraLabel, National Tube Supply outsourced their labeling—an approach that didn’t scale. Long delays, limited flexibility, and low-quality materials created frequent bottlenecks.
Engineer Ashley Benvenuto, responsible for improving inventory management and facility operations, needed a better solution. She sought a labeling system that could adapt quickly to changing needs—without compromising durability or quality.
The Solution
Using DuraLabel Premium Vinyl Labels and the DuraLabel Toro Industrial Sign and Label System, Ashley and her team built a reliable in-house labeling system that allows them to:
- Label Equipment and Work Areas Clearly: Support 5S initiatives and machine identification.
- Improve Inventory Accuracy: Mark racks, barcodes, and products to streamline inventory flow.
- Enable Round-the-Clock Labeling: Create labels during any shift—no waiting on outside suppliers.
- Enhance Safety and Communication: Print custom safety signs, cable IDs, and name labels.
- Scale Across Locations: Four sites now use DuraLabel, with more teams eager to adopt the system.
" I wish my last company had DuraLabel instead of the Zebra label machines because of the durability." – Ashley Benvenuto
