In addition, the companies’ design and marketing teams often collaborate with clients to help create branding strategies through custom labeling.

“The teams at Summit and Precision have done an outstanding job creating a best-in-class prime label business. We look forward to adding their strong digital and flexographic capabilities to the IDI platform,” said Dewey Turner, Partner, and President of Operations at Sole Source Capital.

“These acquisitions augment our prime labeling capabilities with high-quality digital and flexo expertise, expanding the IDI footprint throughout Canada,” said Jeff Fielkow, President and CEO of IDI. “Our new partners share our spirit of customer-centric focus and collaboration, offering customized label solutions to support our customers’ innovation and growth.

“We are pleased to announce the partnership with ID Images and Sole Source,” said Matt Sauder, President of Summit Labels and Precision Label. “There is a clear fit between the companies, and we expect this relationship to bring value to our employees, customers and stakeholders.”
