Hibiscus at capacity
UK label manufacturers in the chemical industry, with designated ‘essential business’ status, are mobilising to deliver printed products that are in high demand during the Coronavirus health crisis.
Hibiscus has shipped hundreds of thousands of labels over the last few weeks, for products that are vital to the industries that are fighting the Coronavirus epidemic. Hand sanitiser labels, janitorial product labels, and pharmaceutical labels are crucial in our customers’ battle to keep products on the shelves.
Hibiscus is running at capacity with limited staff on-site, and doing everything possible to restrict interaction between our essential staff, whilst maintaining label production to meet the increased demand for vital active substances
James Killerby, Hibiscus Director, said, “‘We are fortunate to have a great team of employees and suppliers that continue to work really hard to ensure our customers can keep providing essential goods”.

These distilleries were impacted significantly, and this is one way they were able to stay in business while also helping the community.
