Dec-O-Art Patriotic Labels Gain Momentum

Amanda Buchanan — Thu, 04 Jun 2026 17:00:44 +0000

What began as a focused product launch in April 2025 has grown into something much more impactful for manufacturers across the country. When Dec-O-Art introduced five new patriotic label designs, the goal was simple: give customers a meaningful way to highlight their commitment to American manufacturing. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, that message is resonating more strongly than ever.

“We created these designs to support our customers and give them a way to highlight something they already take pride in,” said Alexis Sindle, Sales Operations Manager at Dec-O-Art. “What we are seeing now is customers building on that idea in ways that are meaningful to their business and their brand.”

As adoption grew, so did demand for customization. Customers began incorporating elements such as state callouts, company logos, contact information, and brand messaging. These additions help align each label more closely with the product and the company behind it.

These additions have turned labels into a direct line of communication between manufacturers and their customers. More manufacturers are recognizing the value of clearly communicating where their products are made, especially in a competitive marketplace where transparency builds trust and strengthens brand identity. What began as a design offering has become a strategic tool for companies that want to stand behind their work and share that message with confidence.

The continued growth of this initiative reflects a larger shift in how manufacturers present their products. Dec-O-Art remains focused on supporting that momentum by expanding customization options and helping customers bring their ideas to life.

D.H. Machine Inc. is one of many manufacturers using Dec-O-Art’s patriotic labels to reinforce their branding and communicate their commitment to American-made products. “Dec-O-Art has been great to work with,” said David Johnson of DH Machine Inc. “The quality of their products is never in doubt.”

Dec-O-Art’s labels are designed for durability across industries, including recreational vehicles, trailers, trucks, marine, and industrial applications. They are engineered to withstand demanding environments while maintaining a clean and professional appearance.

To celebrate America’s 250th anniversary and help manufacturers experience the impact of these labels firsthand, Dec-O-Art is currently offering a free 100-pack of its brand new patriotic label, USA250. Companies can claim the offer by submitting the form at www.dec-o-art.com/contact and mentioning this press release in their message.

Dec-O-Art, based in Elkhart, Indiana, has been providing trusted labeling solutions since 1971. The company specializes in high-quality decals, compliance labels, and custom branding elements that help manufacturers enhance product presentation and communicate their identity.

Dec-O-Art, The Label Experts, celebrated its first donation to Care Camps Foundation, kicking off an ongoing partnership to support children and families affected by cancer. The contribution of over $4,500 is the first of many annual donations through this commitment.

This donation reflects the strength of Dec-O-Art’s partnership with Forest River, in which proceeds from co-branded Forest River and Care Camps Foundation decals directly support the Foundation’s mission. Care Camps Foundation funds medically supervised oncology camps that allow children with cancer, and their families, to experience the joy and healing power of the outdoors.

These camps combine expert medical care with traditional camp activities, giving children a safe space to play, bond, and rediscover joy.

Nathan Dosmann, President of Dec-O-Art, said, “At Dec-O-Art, we believe our work should not only serve our customers but also strengthen the communities around us. Supporting Care Camps Foundation reflects our commitment to our community. This donation is more than dollars, it’s about making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families facing extraordinary challenges and giving children the chance to laugh, play, and create memories that cancer cannot take away.”Care Camps Foundation now funds over 120 pediatric oncology camps who make it possible for more than 40,000 children, siblings, and parents to attend camp each year, creating opportunities for families to heal, connect, and find joy together despite the challenges of cancer.

Dec-O-Art’s Donation Day Contributes $75,000 to Local Nonprofits Chosen by Employees

Amanda Buchanan — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 15:06:30 +0000

The Label Experts at Dec-O-Art stepped away from their stations and into the community for their third annual Donation Day. Each year, the company closes its doors to dedicate a full day of hands-on service at local nonprofit organizations chosen by employees.

Team members were divided into groups and assisted with whatever was most needed—from landscaping and organizing clothing to assembling shelving and furniture. This year’s service day supported three impactful organizations: Angels in the Attic, Center for the Homeless, and Mishawaka Troop Town.

In addition to their volunteer hours, Dec-O-Art presented each nonprofit with a $25,000 donation, for a combined total of $75,000. This contribution will help strengthen the vital services these organizations provide in the community.

Angels in the Attic has served Michiana for 14 years, primarily in St. Joseph and Elkhart counties. The organization has supported more than 6,500 victims of domestic abuse by providing emergency aid, food, clothing, hygiene products, and financial relief. Their mission is to provide confidential, professional assistance to women and children leaving abusive situations.

Center for the Homeless, established in 1988, has served over 65,000 individuals. Each year, the Center provides 73,000 safe bed stays and more than 180,000 meals. Beyond emergency services, they offer resources and programming to help men, women, children, and veterans break the cycle of homelessness.

Mishawaka Troop Town is a veteran-owned initiative dedicated to housing and supporting homeless or in-need veterans. Their programs focus on building healthy, productive lives through community involvement and holistic support for spiritual, mental, and physical well-being.

Donation Day not only emphasizes the company’s role as a business leader but also a community pillar committed to philanthropy and service.

“Donation Day reflects who we are as a company—committed not just to excellence in our work, but to service in our community. Supporting these incredible organizations reminds us that when businesses and people come together with purpose, we can create lasting change. We look forward to continuing this tradition of service for years to come,” stated Nathan Dosmann, President of Dec-O-Art.

“We are so grateful for Dec-O-Art’s generosity and hands-on support. Their team’s willingness to give their time and resources helps us continue providing hope and relief to women and children in crisis. Partnerships like this remind survivors that they are not alone,” said Kristine Kuroski, Founder/CEO Angels in the Attic.

Dec-O-Art Partners with Care Camps Foundation to Support Children with Cancer

Amanda Buchanan — Thu, 24 Jul 2025 15:05:38 +0000

Dec-O-Art is proud to give back to the community and support those in need. In line with this commitment, the company has partnered with the Care Camps Foundation. For every Care Camps and Forest River co-branded decal sold, Dec-O-Art will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Care Camps Foundation, which provides life-changing experiences to children living with cancer and their families.

“We’ve built a great working relationship with our customer, Forest River, and were honored when they shared their involvement with Care Camps,” said Alexis Sindle, Sales Operations Manager at Dec-O-Art. “They knew of our company’s philanthropic values and invited us to participate in the fundraiser. We were excited to learn more about the organization and how we could play a role in supporting such an impactful cause.”

Founded in 1984 by a group of Kampgrounds of America (KOA) owners, Care Camps began as a grassroots effort to fund pediatric oncology camps. Today, it is a well-established non-profit organization with strong partnerships across the outdoor industry, creating opportunities for children with cancer to enjoy the healing experiences in nature.

As the only national non-profit dedicated solely to funding medically supervised camps for children with cancer in the U.S. and Canada, Care Camps Foundation combines expert care with the therapeutic power of the outdoors. These camps provide essential medical support in a traditional camp setting, offering children a sense of community and belonging. Campers are able to connect with others who understand their experiences—without having to explain their illnesses.

“We are so grateful to have Dec-O-Art join our mission to support camps for children with cancer,” said Gwynn Sullivan, MSN, Care Camps Foundation Executive Director. “Having toured Dec-O-Art’s production plant, their philanthropic spirit shines through their leadership, staff and work.”
