About Kingfisher Labels
Labels that stick. Relationships that last.
Since 1996, Kingfisher Labels has been doing something simple, but increasingly rare: we listen. Really listen. To what our customers need, what the market demands, and what innovation makes possible.
That philosophy has transformed us from a Bristol startup with a single 3-colour press into one of the UK's most trusted label manufacturers.
Why businesses choose Kingfisher Labels?
We're not just printers—we're partners in your brand's success. Every label we produce carries your reputation, and we take that seriously.
Our approach is built on four pillars:
Customer obsession.
Your challenges become our challenges. Your deadlines become our deadlines. We don't just take orders; we solve problems.
Quality without compromise.
From artwork to application, every label undergoes rigorous quality checks. Because when your product is on the shelf, there are no second chances.
Relentless innovation.
The label industry doesn't stand still, and neither do we. We continuously invest in cutting-edge technology to give you more colours, finer detail, and faster turnaround.
People who care.
Behind every press run is a team that takes genuine pride in its craft. Many of our staff have been with us for years—they're not just skilled, they're invested.
Our journey
What started as founder Martin Jackson's vision in a small facility has grown into a 10,000-square-foot operation running four state-of-the-art presses. But the numbers only tell part of the story.
In 2001, we moved to our first dedicated facility in Yate—a sign that Bristol's businesses trusted us with their brands. By 2010, we were installing the UK's first Edale Multi-press, pushing the boundaries of what labels could do. In 2013, Martin brought Karl Jackson and Andy Watts on as directors, ensuring Kingfisher remained a family business with family values.
The 2015 move to our current 10,000-square-foot factory marked a turning point. More space meant more capability, more efficiency, and more ways to say "yes" to our customers. Since then, we've added multiple Edale 8-colour presses and continue to invest in the latest finishing equipment.
Through two decades of growth, one thing hasn't changed: our commitment to the businesses that trust us with their labels.
