CICERO, N.Y. — Syracuse Label & Surround Printing and sister companies Macaran Printed Products and W.N. Van Alstine & Sons have rebranded under a new group name and corporate identity.
The company unveiled the NextGen Label Group name and logo during a recent companywide meeting. The new brand combines the three operating units under one identity and “better reflects the organization’s commitment to its employee owners and the customer communities they serve. At the same time, it delivers on the promise to protect the rich corporate legacies that were brought together during the merger,” per its announcement.
Syracuse Label & Surround Printing, which is based in the town of Cicero, merged its operations with the two Capital Region firms last June. W.N. Van Alstine & Sons also has an office in DeWitt, per its website.
