Smyth

Smyth, founded in 1877 by Henry Martin Smyth in St. Paul, Minnesota, began as a commercial printing business serving local enterprises. Over its extensive history, the company strategically shifted its focus to become a specialized producer of labels for consumer product goods packaging. Early collaborations with Minnesota-based firms like Hormel Foods Corp. and the Minnesota Valley Canning Company (a precursor to Green Giant) highlight its deep roots and enduring client relationships. This foundational expertise in printing and packaging has positioned Smyth as a significant player in its industry.

The company operates a dual-facility model, comprising distinct roll-fed and sheet-fed production sites. Roll-fed operations are strategically located in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Wilmington, Massachusetts; Green Bay, Wisconsin; and Phoenix, Arizona, specializing in pressure-sensitive and flexible packaging using flexographic and digital printing technologies. Complementing these are sheet-fed facilities in Bedford, Virginia, and Austin, Minnesota, which employ lithographic presses for glue-applied cut & stack labels and in-mold applications. Further enhancing its service capabilities, Smyth also operates a tube labeling facility in Austin, Minnesota, and provides label automation sales, service, and support from its St. Paul, Minnesota base.
