About MSSC
Lasting Impressions, Proven Solutions
MSSC was founded in 2000 by former Marsh employees, carrying forward a legacy of marking and carton closure solutions that began in 1920. Today we continue that tradition with modern technology, trusted brands, and a growing family of product offerings, services, and solutions, including the addition of Custom Cut Stencil in 2024.
We serve industries worldwide with quality products and unmatched support. From our Smart-Jet® line of thermal inkjet printers to a wide range of inks, stencils, and carton closure tools, MSSC offers a broad product portfolio designed to meet real customer needs.
Our catalog relationships span more than 25 years, supported by an experienced team and a distributor network of more than 300 partners delivering to 60 countries.
Our difference is more than just products.
We follow a proven process: understanding your challenges, recommending solutions, providing demos and testing, and ensuring long-term value with full support after installation. Whether you are a customer or distributor, our team is committed to making sure every interaction reflects our values of honesty, fairness, accountability, passion, and forward-thinking innovation.
