Martin Automatic was recently spotlighted in the latest book in the Labels and Label Technology series by Tarsus entitled Environmental Performance and Sustainable Labeling. Martin was featured for both its automatic roll changing and for the carpool that was initiated by its employees back in the 1970’s.

The book was written by Danielle Jerschefsky and Mike Fairley.
