Springfield Brewing Company, based in Springfield, Missouri, is a pioneer in the craft beer industry. The company opened its doors in 1997 as part of the revitalization of downtown Springfield. In 2011, Ashton Lewis, Master Brewer; Bryan Bevel, Operations Manager; and several others purchased the brewery from The Paul Mueller Company, and the business took off!

Bryan Bevel now oversees an operation that has grown to encompass 94 employees and a product portfolio of seven beers.

Switching to pressure sensitive fi lm labels from cut-and-stack, glue-applied paper labels enabled Springfi eld Brewing Company to:

• Improve the branding appeal of its craft beer
• Increase the wet strength of the labels
• Allow for immediate chilling of bottles, thereby increasing speed-to-market
• Decrease bottling staff from three to two operators
• Run a cleaner fi lling and labeling operation
• Decrease label waste from hundreds of labels to five labels per run
• Increase operational speeds and reliability
