Zebra celebrate 50 years of printer innovation

Zebra are celebrating a golden year, with 50 years of innovation, offering unparalleled value and quality of printing thanks to a team of over a million employees through the years and a strong supplier network. That kind of longevity and excellence are only possible thanks to a strong commitment to customer needs, as well as a drive for evolution that we at Labelman have been proud to play a part in as a licensed distributor of Zebra products.

Fifty years ago

With a $1,000 investment in 1969, Zebra had humble beginnings, and remained relatively humble for quite some time, having only 200 employees even in 1991. With the rise of the internet, however, and a growing reach across 46 countries, Zebra started forging strong links with suppliers like we at Labelman. Since then, they have only gone on from strength to strength.

The technological edge

As innovation-driven a manufacturer as you’re likely to find, Zebra continued to push the envelope by both improving their core technologies but also by exploring brand new categories of printer to offer a greater range of high-quality options for their customers. This includes creating the industry’s first all-imager bioptic, the MP7000 scanner/scale, and developed next level software such as the Zebra DNA suite and Savanna platform, offering the capabilities of the Cloud through Zebra hardware. Nowadays, Zebra holds over 4,400 patents issued and pending, a testament to their constant drive to evolve.

Growing from coast to coast

At Labelman, we are immensely proud to be a part of the supplier network that has helped Zebra spread far and wide, acting as their premier supplier in the UK. Since forming that partnership, we have ensured that we offer the personal yet professional service that Zebra is known for with our own team of highly talented and experienced professionals.

Riding the ecommerce wave

The internet played a huge role in making Zebra’s printers and printing products more accessible than ever. The links built across those 46 countries exploded thanks to ecommerce stores built by partnerships like Labelman. As such, we’ve made it easier than ever to find and buy the products that businesses and individuals need to handle all of their printing needs.
