Streamlining Label Design for Lee Soap with Adobe Illustrator Automation
By leveraging Adobe Illustrator scripting and integrating it with specialized printing technology, Mondo successfully optimized the bulk label production process for Lee Soap, handling over 2,000 designs with precision and efficiency.

Introduction
Lee Soap, a trusted industry leader with over 123 years of excellence in the automotive carwash industry, approached Mondo with a critical challenge—updating and managing over 2,000 bulk label designs to meet the stringent requirements of their specialized manufacturing and printing processes. These labels play a crucial role in their operations, ensuring product identification, regulatory compliance, and brand consistency across multiple product lines.
The project required a deep understanding of Adobe Illustrator’s capabilities and the ability to integrate the designs seamlessly with hyper-specific printing technology, including OnyxGfx and thermal transfer printers for security labels. Unlike traditional marketing agencies that often rely on third-party vendors, Mondo leveraged its extensive experience—spanning over 30 years in the signage, printing, and manufacturing sectors—to develop a custom automated solution. Our approach allowed for efficient, error-free bulk processing while maintaining the highest quality standards.
In addition to label design, Lee Soap needed to comply with evolving regulatory standards, particularly the transition from MSDS to SDS documentation. Mondo worked closely with federal and state authorities to ensure the seamless update of these crucial safety data sheets, allowing Lee Soap’s products to be shipped safely across state lines without regulatory hurdles. This level of in-depth service sets Mondo apart from other agencies that typically expect clients to manage compliance independently.
Our collaboration with Lee Soap highlights Mondo’s ability to not only provide exceptional design and marketing solutions but also to solve complex technical challenges, offering clients a comprehensive approach that bridges design, compliance, and manufacturing processes.
Conclusion
Through advanced Adobe Illustrator scripting, we streamlined label editing and ensured seamless integration with Lee Soap’s printing technology. Our expertise in design, manufacturing, and regulatory compliance led to several key results:
- Efficiency Gains: Processed and updated over 2,000 bulk label designs, significantly reducing manual effort.
- Technical Integration: Ensured compatibility with OnyxGfx and thermal transfer printers, supporting precise security label production.
- Regulatory Compliance: Successfully updated SDS sheets, enabling safe product transportation and adherence to federal regulations.
- Unique Expertise: Leveraged over 30 years of printing and manufacturing knowledge, bypassing third-party vendors and delivering unmatched flexibility.
This project demonstrates Mondo’s ability to go beyond traditional marketing agency boundaries, solving highly technical challenges and delivering innovative, efficient solutions for clients like Lee Soap.
