When crafting labels for a high-end food company, attention to detail is critical. Dion Label Printing partnered with local finishing butter company, Butter Cuisine, to assist them with their labels and packaging.


Butter Cuisine was founded in the spring of 2017 by husband and wife team Lori and Brian Halloran. Brian is a French-trained American chef who has worked in countless upscale dining establishments locally and abroad. He went on to teach operations classes for ten years until he began crafting his own business. Lori handles all sales and marketing efforts for Butter Cuisine and worked with Dion heavily on their label development. Together, the team worked to develop their own line of finishing butters and organic coconut butters. Finishing butters are a culinary ingredient that is used to enhance the flavors of prepared dishes. Some of the top selling flavors include Garlic Herb Butter, Mediterranean Butter, Lemon Caper Butter, Chili Lime Coconut Butter and more!


Prior to partnering with Dion Label Printing, Butter Cuisine took a more hands-on method to their labeling which involved hand writing or typing labels as needed. Lori commented it was “very labor intensive and not very professional looking.” The partnership between Dion and Butter Cuisine was established to develop a label that fit the high-quality product within. During initial stages, Dion assisted Butter Cuisine to take their label design to the next level. Lori commented the new look helped their product grow from being sold in just farmers markets to the retail sector.


All of Butter Cuisine’s labels are digitally printed CMYK on a paper base with a matte finish on our HP Indigo WS6800 press. Labels are diecut and finished on our digital finishing unit. The matte finish paired with classic fonts and colors gave the labels the artisanal “foodie” look they were going for. In addition, Dion assisted with other packaging factors including engineering a tamper evident label for their tub product line. Since products were refrigerated or frozen, Dion also ensured the correct adhesive was chosen for all temperature changes. By combining the ideal label shape with all the pertinent ingredient, nutritional and PLU number information, Butter Cuisine was positive the labels were ideal to support sales growth.

Faced with the task of selecting the ideal printer, Butter Cuisine opted to work with Dion based on a colleague referral and has remained a loyal partner due to the outstanding customer service provided. Lori comments the deciding factors to go with Dion had a lot to do with the staff who were extremely professional, responsive and knowledgeable.


Talking numbers, Butter Cuisine has measured a 75% reduced labeling time since switching to Dion! Customers also frequently comment on the new packaging and it has helped them achieve increased media exposure. The company was recently featured during the “In the Kitchen” spot on The Rhode Show. Watch the video above to see Chef Brian Halloran cook some delicious dishes with Butter Cuisine products! Butter Cuisine is excited for continued growth into the catering, food service arenas, yachting industry and value added seafood manufacturing companies. Dion is proud to be a label manufacturer and partner for Butter Cuisine and is excited to see their company grow!

Designing a label can be an involved process; logos, fonts, layout, material, and finish all must be taken into account. Then there’s the product-specific copy and information to include. It’s easy to get hung up on any or all of these things, but don’t forget to consider the importance of color selection While you may be choosing your colors based on your product or on your own color preference, you always want to make sure your colors are communicating the right thing to potential customers.

As part of Inovar Packaging Group, Dion Label Printing is working to creating a world-class enterprise by building an innovative platform to drive sustainable growth and handle the increasingly complex demands of our diverse range of customers. Over the last several years, our parent company Inovar has acquired new facilities at a quick pace, including, most recently: Cimarron Label in Sioux Falls, SD and Amherst Label in Milford, NH. Acquiring is a major part of Inovar’s strategy to grow the company and better serve our customers and our internal teams, and we are concurrently working to expand our capacity, capabilities, and service offerings in other ways. To that end Inovar has recently moved into a newly renovated headquarters building in Dallas, TX. Located just a short distance from Inovar’s previous facility headquarters, the new location was built to showcase the mission of our brand. At triple the size of the last facility, this brand new building with its huge increase in both office and production space will enable us to provide even more solutions and support to our customers. The new facility is not just larger, however. In order to increase our capacity, capabilities, and offerings, and give our customers the highest quality labels and packaging solutions, we’ve added two new flexographic presses and a new digital press. Our Director of Marketing, Ashley Stewart, states, “the additional capacity, services, and embellishment capabilities will greatly increase our ability to meet all the requirements of even the most demanding brands. The team is thrilled to debut the new facility and showcase our capabilities to our existing and future customers.”  We also have other expansions in the works. An addition of almost 20,000 additional square feet of production and warehousing space will expand Inovar’s Milwaukee, WI, location, Flexo-Graphics, and its presence in the area. We are excited for the opportunities our growth provides us to continue our rise as a premier label and packaging solution provider. Contact us today and let our growth help fuel yours.
