For more than 25 years, Guru Labels has built its reputation around finding smarter, more practical ways to help businesses manage labelling without unnecessary cost, waste, or complexity.
While walking through a nursery, Nick noticed shelves stacked with thousands of tags sitting in storage.
When he asked why they were still there, he was told they had been forced to order far more than they actually needed just to meet minimum order quantities.
The tags were now outdated and heading for the bin.
That waste upset Nick and led him to look for a more flexible Tytags ordering system, one that allows growers to print exactly what they need, when they need it.
Instead of ordering in bulk, storing excess rolls of labels, waiting for deliveries, and sending outdated stock to landfill, growers can now print pot tags, hang tags, wrap-around tags, and self-adhesive labels on demand, giving them greater control over ordering, inventory, and cash flow.
Nick also knew the system had to be simple to use, making it easy for growers to design and print labels themselves.
Guru Labels’ FREE DIY software makes it quick and easy to create professional Tytags in-house by adding photos, barcodes, product information, and branding. There’s no complicated setup and no specialist design experience required.
The Tytags print-on-demand system has been delivering for decades now, and Nick and the team have been pleased to see more growers moving to a smarter, more flexible way of managing plant labels.
In the nursery industry, timing is everything. Growers have a limited window to sell their plants, so when flowers start blooming and are ready for market, the tags need to be ready too.
It’s just one example of how the Guru team focuses on solving real labelling problems with practical improvements.
Other examples include self-laminating test tag labels that protect important information from wear, service labels designed to withstand 100-degree heat, and branded packaging tape with no minimum order requirements.
While “Guru” might sound like a fun name, it reflects the way the team approaches the business. The focus has always been on leading through action, continually looking for better ways to solve problems, improve processes, and deliver practical solutions that genuinely help customers.
