PROFILE |
 |
The wild west of packaging labels was won with the help of Fort Dearborn. Named for the outpost that predated Chicago, Fort Dearborn is one of the country's largest producers of labels for consumer goods packaging. It offers such products as flexible packaging, paper labels, and label substrates and services including graphic design, digital imaging, and computer-to-plate printing. The company has 11 production facilities in the US, Europe, and Mexico and has served such customers as ConAgra (Peter Pan and Hunt's brands), Campbell Soup, and Tri Valley Growers (Libby and Redpack Tomatoes). Fort Dearborn was founded in 1925 by Nick Adler Jr., whose family continues to own and operate the company.
