Keep Your Brand Integrity & Enhance Your Packaging with a GMI Certified Company
Welcome! Great Lakes Label is a label converter in Comstock Park, MI. We have been awarded full certification by Graphic Measurers International (GMI). GMI is a leader in quality management and brand integrity. This certification followed an intensive on-site audit involving independent testing and inspections. It comprised of company-wide processes and capabilities audit from order entry to shipping. Many companies only work with GMI-certified printers to make sure their packaging looks consistent through their omnichannel- we’re proud to have worked with some of those prestigious brands.

The GMI audit includes an in-depth focus on graphics and color management. Other areas that were evaluated were press quality (registration, trapping, die-line accuracy, finishing) and quality assurance (process implementation, audits, traceability, barcode readability, and non-compliance protocol) It verifies that Great Lakes Label utilizes scientific measurement and even the latest technology in its print and color management processes. Which, in turn, upholds the customer’s brand integrity through consistency on the finished product from run to run.

Color Management is Key To Great Packaging Design
Customers trust brands, even more, when they have color consistency. So, it is an important aspect of using innovative techniques. It’s not just ideal for a big brand expanding on a luxury packaging line, but also for a mom and pop shop creating handcrafted labels. However, it’s also quite important to trust your label printing with an experienced printer.
