Brand Custodianship
At NextGen Label Group, we define Brand Custodianship with absolute clarity and conviction. Our philosophy centers around the commitments we make to the communities we serve, and is founded on three unwavering tenets which we strive to deliver on each day: Employee-Centric, Customer-Centric, and Solutions-Centric. Our dedication to these principles is unyielding, and we are confident that they form the foundation of a successful and sustainable business.

Core Values of Brand Custodianship
NextGen Label Group’s Brand Custodianship is built on 3 Core Values.
Employee Centric – At the heart of our employee-owned company is a deep appreciation of the proud legacies that shaped who we are. As employee-owners, we are bound by a shared commitment to each other, prioritizing the well-being, satisfaction, growth, and respect of every member of our ESOP: our employee-owners, our customers, and our broader communities.
The Next Generation Employee Owner can count on stability, integrity, clear communication, and a strong, sustained focus on growing and strengthening our ESOP. Together, we can achieve our goals, because when everyone contributes, everyone benefits.
Customer-Centric – As proud employee-owners and brand custodians, we are driven by a promise to overdeliver for our customers. Creating a Next GenerationCustomer Experience means aligning around what matters most, exceptional quality, seamless collaboration, flawless execution, customer satisfaction, sustainable growth, and long-term retention.
We take the time to truly understand our customers’ brand vision and focus relentlessly on the details that bring it to life. Every interaction with a customer is an opportunity to exceed expectations and strengthen our partnerships.
Solutions-Centric – We are committed to delivering innovative, technology-driven solutions that differentiate both our company and our customers. Our focus on Next Generation Solutions is fueled by continuous investment in advanced technologies, a bold approach to R&D and innovation, and the development of a best-in-class team. Through intense collaboration, we continuously improve all aspects of our business.
We remain actively engaged with suppliers and the broader industry, cultivating strategic partnerships and collaborating to pioneer breakthroughs in material science, graphics, aesthetics, and label application.
This relentless pursuit of innovation positions our customers, and our organization, for long-term success in an increasingly competitive marketplace. Together, we don’t just follow trends, we lead them.
