Brook and Whittle has announced the signing of definitive agreements to acquire Innovative Labeling Solutions, Inc. (ILS) and Wizard Labels LLC in partnership with founders, Jay Dollries, Steve Wolf and Steve Smith. Brook & Whittle is majority-owned by private equity firm Snow Phipps Group, LLC. The closing of the acquisitions is expected to occur within 30 days.

With more than 120 different labels put out by Colorado’s Weldwerks Brewing in each of the past two years, and Director of Marketing Jake Goodman indicating that more than 80% of those being new beers with new labels, the process of can design might be a tad different than larger breweries.

Whether printing on pressure-sensitive labels, clear film, cartonboard or any other packaging substrate, the performance and characteristics of the ink used are an integral part of the production process.

Innovative Labeling Solutions has installed an HP Indigo 8000, making it the first North American converter with the full HP Indigo label platform.
