When Albert and Dolores Little opened Central Tape and Label in Houston in 1978, the label printing industry looked very different. Every job was a relationship. Every customer was a neighbor. That philosophy — treat every order like it matters, because it does — shaped the company from day one.

Over the decades, the business grew by doing one thing exceptionally well: printing high-quality custom labels for food and beverage brands, cosmetic companies, chemical manufacturers, and industrial operations across Houston and Texas. Customers learned they could count on Central Tape and Label to deliver — on quality, on turnaround, and on their word.

Albert and Dolores invested in professional-grade flexographic printing equipment, hired the right people, and built the kind of reputation that only comes from decades of consistent work. They didn’t cut corners. They didn’t chase the cheapest price. They built something worth being proud of — and worth passing on.

The late Albert and Dolores Little left behind more than a business. They left behind a standard. Their sons Greg and Darrell, and grandson Jared, carry that standard forward every single day.
