Founded by the Phelps family and still led by CEO Dave Phelps, the company delivers a complete design-to-delivery service managed entirely in house. That means design, proofing, bottling, and labeling are handled by My Label Water rather than split across a separate printer and a separate bottler.

Format choice affects budget, freight planning, and how the product performs in the field, and this episode walks through each variable clearly.\nMy Label Water leads on integrated design-to-delivery service in a category often served by promotional-product resellers and print brokers who do not bottle.
