About Us



For over 40 years, Carlton has manufactured quality identification products – from the innovative to the tried-and-true products used every day. 

Begun in 1970 in the garage of Kay and Dick Carlton, custom products were always our specialty. As the company grew, so did the garage! Until eventually we moved to a plant on the Texas coast. Unfortunately, being under sea level did not agree with the printing presses. They had to be moved by hand to higher ground. So we settled in centrally located Fayette County, Texas, known for its rich cultural history and architectural landmarks.

Carlton Industries is proud to be a certified Woman-Owned business.

Great Products…
Thousands of products are stocked in the La Grange warehouse, but we are always ready to source a product you may not see in our catalog. 
We still offer the best in custom designed products – from the design assistance of our in-house graphics department to the quality control we oversee in the plant. 

We simply are the best direct source for all of your product identification needs.

Great Service…
Carlton’s sales staff is ready to assist you in finding the right product at the best price. They have years of experience helping customers find just what is needed to meet safety and compliance standards. They will get to know your company and learn your particular needs. It’s simply the kind of service you don’t find every day.
