FineLine Technologies, Inc. announced that the company has been selected by National Stores to be its exclusive supplier for all the retailer’s outsourced price tags and labels. National Stores, headquartered in Gardena, California, operates over 200 stores in the United States under a variety of brand names.

In order to provide tickets, tags and labels to its stores, National Stores prints in-house at its facility in San Diego and also outsources production , primarily for its overseas vendors. FineLine will utilize its printing facilities in Hong Kong and Shenzen, China to produce National Stores tags and labels for its vendors in the Far East. By selecting FineLine as its exclusive outsourced provider, National Stores and its vendor community will have access to Fast Trak, FineLine’s proprietary web based system for ordering and managing the ticketing process.

Beau Wiebel, FineLine’s National Accounts Manger, says, “We are excited to work with the team at National Stores to improve and streamline their process for managing the ticketing function. We believe that both National Stores and its vendors will appreciate and benefit from our speed to market and from our technology platform which will improve the efficiency of their supply chain.”
