A Message from Bob Cole

We are a full service packaging company with a complete product line of roll labels, shrink bands, inserts, folding cartons, and promotional pieces.

​

We are a totally independent, veteran owned, company and intend to remain that way. We have no outside investors, no venture capital money, and no outside stockholders. This translates into an almost instant decision making process, critical in todays marketplace. The average tenure of our associates is well over ten years. This is a remarkable record for any company in any industry, especially one that had one employee in 1980, and nearly 180 today.

​

We are often asked by prospective customers, What is your mission statement? It is very simple. It is to enhance the reputation of those who entrust us with their orders.

​

Our regular customers don’t have to ask.

​

Thank you for your consideration and interest in our company. I sincerely hope that you will decide to see for yourself why our family of customers, employees, lenders, and suppliers have been so loyal and supportive for over 40 years.

A Brief Company History

Southern_Silkscreen.jpeg

Southern Silkscreen 1979

The company was incorporated as Southern Silkscreen, Inc in 1979, and opened for business in January of 1980 with one employee.  The new company had a silkscreen press, a small die cutter, and no customers.  The plan was to produce paperboard sleeves for the burgeoning video tape market.

​

The company quickly moved into offset printing and production of 8" and 5.25" floppy disk envelopes, and video and audio tape packaging.  The company opened a roll label facility in 1982, and changed its name to J.R. Cole, Industries, Inc.

​

The decline and eventual disappearance of the magnetic media industry prompted the company to transition into packaging for the markets it serves today, including health care, spirits, and other consumer products.

​

The company continues to be privately held with currently 180 employees located in 200,000 square feet of operational space.
