Label King Achieves ISO Certification
Label manufacturer Label King, San Diego, California, has achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification. The recogni- tion from the International Organization of Standardiza- tion (ISO) is a globally acknowledged standard for quality management. When a health and beauty customer of Label King’s conducted a 2023 quality survey, the results revealed ar- eas where Label King could improve. Label King owner Robert Parker sought advice through close TLMI connections, Craig and Drew Moreland of Coast Label Company, who helped Label King get its start in charting a course for ISO 9001 certification. Following six months of focus, dedication, hard work and ISO inter- views and audits, Label King earned its certificate. Spearheading the initiative was Tawny Durnil, Label King’s ISO 9001:2015 lead auditor who also serves as the company’s quality systems manager and account specialist. Over the past few years, Label King has received nu- merous TLMI Label Awards across a variety of end-use and production process categories. The company was also the recipient of the 2021 Calvin Frost Environmental Leadership Award. Most recently, in October 2023, Robert Parker was named TLMI’s Converter of the Year.
