ICONIC PIECES OF THE PAST
LUCKY STRIKEMulti-Color printed Lucky Strike labels from around 1925–1942. In 1943, the green and bronze pigments became short in supply as the U.S. govern-ment began painting a huge number of trucks and tanks army green for use in World War II.
c.1935
DOWNY FABRIC SOFTENER The iconic face of Downy Fabric Softener is firmly planted in American brand lore thanks in part to Multi-Color’s long-standing partnership with Proctor & Gamble.
c.1972
WRIGLEY’S CHEWING GUMWilliam Wrigley Jr. Company was Multi-Color’s first customer and played an important role as a prominent brand name in our burgeoning roster of clients. Wrigley’s continues to be the world’s #1 chewing gum today and Multi-Color is happy to still call parent company, Mars, a customer.
c.1916
CARNATION MILK Carnation Milk was a staple in house-holds before refrigerators became a common appliance in the mid 1900’s. One of our largest customers, Nestle, currently owns the Carnation brand.
c.1929
IVORY LIQUIDIvory liquid soap marked an important milestone in Multi-Color’s long history as the first blow-molded, in-mold label bottle in the U.S. This innovation helped strengthen our position as a leader in innovative labeling solutions. Proctor & Gamble, parent company of the Ivory brand, remains a steadfast customer of Multi-Color.
c.1978
GERBER OATMEAL CEREAL The iconic Gerber baby logo was originally introduced in 1928 and its first baby cereal was launched in 1939. Gerber became one of the first companies to use “Better If Used Before” dates on its packaging in 1963. Gerber’s parent company, Nestle, continues to use Multi-Color for labeling needs to this day.
