1986

The birth of Labprint came about when Mervyn and Gail Thompson started a small family business with an inoperative Uhlmann on-line printing machine.  Through tenacity and perseverance, the impossible was achieved – an excellent quality print on aluminium blister foil. Word of mouth brought more pharmaceutical clients to Labprint – the niche was the ability to print small quantities of foil with quick delivery times.

1989

The business grew to accommodate the purchase of 2 additional printing machines.  Labprint moved up from single colour to 4 colour print work. The components for a full, in house, machine shop was purchased to build a 900mm wide, 4 colour printing machine from scratch. A second wide web machine was completed in 2010 and a third on the drawing board by 2013.   xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2014

Introduced by the mutual accounting firm, Paperchase, Labprint was taken over by Resulta Exporters, owned by Eric Juncker and Marlis Arkcoll. This was the start of a new era for Labprint with a brand new company logo which marked a complete Quality make-over. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2015

The first phase of Labprint’s quality make-over was well underway with the segregation of the Flammable Store, Machine Shop, Canteen and Dressing Rooms. The print presses were re-arranged to allow for line clearance and segregated areas for stock. The dispatch area was also separated from the rest of the factory and the internal QMS was in the process of being written, guided by GMP and ISO9001 Standards.

2016

Labprint was now ready for the second phase of the quality make-over. Guided by our pharmaceutical customer’s requirements, we installed a water air cooler to manage the environmental conditions as well as a dust filter. The factory was also sealed off with a one way in-and-out flow for staff and products. The PS9000 standards were included as an additional guideline for writing Standard Operating Procedures.

2017

This was a year to start celebrating Labprint’s success.  Eric and Marlis introduced our first long service awards with acknowledgements of 5; 10 and 15 years of service.  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2017

At Labprint we enjoy having fun and the team opted for a day at Gold Reef City with most of the staff spending much time on the Anaconda! This was a first for many of our team.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2018

This marked the year of the Customer for Labprint and we introduced our very first “Customer Open Day.” Many of our key customers joined us for a tour of the production factory, explanation of our internal artwork systems and had the opportunity to meet with our print operators and ask questions.  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2019

Proud of what we have achieved without ever having to advertise, we decided it was time to take Labprint out into the marketplace. With our very first exhibition at the SAPHEX, we gained much interest and broadened our exposure to the industry.  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2019

The second long service awards were celebrated with an outing to the Lion Park. 5; 10; 15 and 20 years service was acknowledged!  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2020

Now, we realize that as a 30 plus year old company, we need to keep up with the times. So, we entered the social media space on Facebook; Instagram and Linked-in and also have the pleasure of introducing you to our brand-new website. Please like us, join us and follow us and feel free to leave us a comment.  xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

2022

Taking control of the electricity situation, we installed a 25kWA generator, with the capacity to support all our print pressess as well as the office simultaneously.  So no more down time during the frequent load shedding we experience. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
