Custom Phenolic Labels is the industrial engraving division of Mike's Trophies & Awards of Atlanta — a second-generation, family-owned business in Kennesaw, Georgia. We produce durable, code-compliant engraved identification for electrical, industrial, and commercial work.
Phenolic labels came out of a simple industrial need: permanent, reliable labeling. Ordinary printed and stick-on labels fade or peel under heat, chemicals, moisture, and abrasion — so layered engraving materials were adopted to give markings that stay readable for years, engraved into the material itself rather than printed on top.
That's the work we've specialized in since 1987. CPL was created as a dedicated division to focus exclusively on electrical, industrial, and commercial identification, while the parent company continues to serve the awards and recognition market.
Burton manages production, customer relationships, and quality control across every order that leaves Kennesaw. His hands-on experience covers rotary engraving equipment, phenolic and lamacoid materials, and the identification standards electrical contractors and industrial facilities rely on.
Mike founded the business in 1987 and established the production systems, material specialization, and customer relationships the company still runs on today. That foundation remains part of every order produced by CPL.
