About General Data

General Data is a full-service converter and supplier of labels and labeling solutions. For over two decades, General Data’s innovative partner programs have given our channel partners the power to offer more and better value-added bar code labeling products, solutions and services to their customers.

Our mission is simple: to provide our channel partners with the highest quality labeling products at competitive prices, backed up by world-class service and support, that enable our partners to successfully and profitability grow their business.

General Data’s manufacturing facilities are located at our corporate headquarters in Cincinnati Ohio. Here we utilize the latest pre-press, on-press and finishing technologies to produce a comprehensive array of labels, including thermal transfer, direct thermal, laser/inkjet, and specialty/custom labels. We draw from an extensive selection of material resources and technologies so our channel partners can deliver the right custom labeling solution at the right price.





Materials: papers and synthetics, formulated for thermal transfer, direct thermal or laser/inkjet printing.

Adhesives: formulations for any surface, environment, or application need.

Topcoats: to enhance printability or provide added durability.

Colors: pre-print logos, graphics or floodcoats in process colors or Pantone Matching System® (PMS) inks.

Sizes: our extensive die library contains a range of shapes and sizes, or we can produce a new die to any specification.

Finishing: our automated processes can produce labels in sheets, fanfolded, or on standard or “small-core” rolls quickly and economically.

Digital pre-press: we can help you design or prepare your digital artwork to ensure the labels are produced to the highest standards of quality.

But we’re more than just a label converter. Our channel partners rely on us to help them deliver the right label for their customer’s application – and it often involves harsh environments, unusual surfaces, or extreme handling. At our research and development laboratory, General Data’s label product engineers utilize advanced equipment for product formulation, analysis and testing in order to meet our channel partners’ customer application requirements. Our lab capabilities include:


  • Industry-standard physical testing of products for certification
  • Simulation of application environments for analysis and testing, including extended abrasion, extreme heat and cold, and chemical exposure
  • Print testing to determine optimal label/ink/ribbon combinations
  • Precision engineering of adhesives, materials, and topcoats to match application requirements and customer needs

General Data is an ISO 9001 registered facility. Our quality procedures meet the highest standards and have been certified to be in compliance with ISO 9001 standards. See General Data’s ISO registration certificate

As General Data’s channel partners continue to expand their business by providing both stock and custom labeling solutions to their customers, General Data will continue to supply best-in-class products, programs and services that help fuel business growth.
