Rapid Labels New Kilsyth Site
Established in 1982, Rapid Labels is a wholly Australian owned and operated business specialising in high quality, customised printing of Self Adhesive Labels and Flexible Packaging. Our philosophy is simple: to produce the highest quality product for our clients, by investing in the latest digital and conventional technology available in our marketplace today.
Labelmakers Group acquired Rapid Labels in April 2021. The acquisition has enabled Labelmakers to move heavily into nutraceuticals with a full suite of solutions spanning labels and folding cartons.

Rapid Labels Move
In 2024, Rapid Labels moved into a new premises double the size of the previous location, providing the business the space needed to continue to grow and increase its capacity. The increased space will also allow the business to expand on its already broad product/service offering.
Services include:
- Embossing/debossing
- Hot & Cold Foiling
- Textured Coatings
- High Build Varnish
- Variable Data QR Codes
- Back Numbering
- Anti-counterfeit Technologies
- Source Tagging
The new purpose-built print facility has provided Rapid Labels the opportunity to design and implement an efficient production layout to best suit the needs of the business and by extension its customers. Efficiencies from the layout have also been gained in the office space, along with improved amenities, communal spaces and meeting rooms.
The site provides full climate control throughout the entire facility including the production floor and the warehouse, which not only creates a better work environment for staff but also improves quality by limiting the variability of temperature in these spaces.
Prior to the move the new site had an extensive fit out which included new painting throughout, new flooring, re-surfacing of production floor, full electrical/data cabling, and upgrade of lighting.
The move involved the relocation of 18 machines and took approximately 7 weeks from the decommissioning of the first machine to the re-commissioning of the last machine.
ERP System
During 2024 Rapid Labels also implemented a new ERP system, which has assisted in driving further efficiencies within the business. Both the new premises and the new ERP system places Rapid Labels in a strong position moving forward and allows the business to continue to grow by focusing on the key pillars that have enabled them to build a strong reputation in the industry.
The key pillars are:
- Service – Delivered through experienced Business Development Managers and Account support team. Short lead times and the flexibility to support customers in need of urgent orders due to a flexible production planning model.
- Quality – ISO accredited, full camera inspection at each production step and full production job reconciliation.
