General Label Printing

Flexo printing uses flexible plates and durable inks, making it ideal for large-volume runs. Once setup is done, it can produce millions of labels at a low unit cost — perfect for big brands needing consistent quality. Digital printing, on the other hand, doesn’t use plates. It’s great for short-run or custom labels and supports variable data like QR codes or serial numbers. It’s faster to set up but slightly more expensive per label for high volumes.

Choose Flexo printing if you need:

  • Large quantities (tens of thousands or more)

  • Durable, moisture-resistant inks

  • Consistent colors and quality across millions of labels

  • Options like metallic inks, foiling, embossing, or varnish

It’s ideal for mass production such as beverages, food, and household goods.

Choose Digital printing for:

  • Small to medium quantities

  • Personalized or variable data (unique barcodes, names, QR codes)

  • Fast turnarounds or frequent design updates

  • Seasonal or promotional runs

It’s commonly used by craft brands, small businesses, and limited-edition products.

Variable Data Labels

Variable Data Labels contain information that changes from one label to another — such as serial numbers, QR codes, or personalized names.
They’re produced using digital printing and are essential for traceability, anti-counterfeiting, and marketing personalization.

  • Traceability: Ideal for tracking batches or individual items

  • Security: Prevents counterfeiting with unique codes

  • Marketing: Personalized labels enhance customer engagement

  • Compliance: Meets regulatory requirements for dates and batch codes

Label Finishing & Coatings

UV varnish is a clear liquid coating cured with ultraviolet light to protect and enhance printed labels.
It can be applied fully (flood coat) or partially (spot UV) for highlights.

Benefits:

  • Adds gloss or matte finish for premium look

  • Protects against scratches and fading

  • Cures instantly, eco-friendly, and enhances durability

  • Gloss UV: Shiny, reflective, and vibrant — ideal for beverages, cosmetics, and luxury packaging.

  • Matte UV: Smooth and non-reflective — suited for organic, natural, or minimalist products.

Plastic lamination applies a thin film (PP or PET) over printed labels to make them waterproof, scratch-resistant, and durable.
It’s best for labels exposed to handling, moisture, or refrigeration — like beverages, cosmetics, and industrial goods.

  • UV varnish provides surface protection and visual enhancement.

  • Lamination offers stronger, long-lasting protection against moisture, oil, and abrasion — ideal for outdoor or refrigerated labels.

Label Texture & Premium Effects

Embossing raises parts of the label (like logos or text) using a metal die, adding a 3D texture and premium feel.
It’s commonly used for wines, cosmetics, and luxury goods to create tactile engagement.

A tactile effect gives texture to a label — smooth, rough, or raised — to make it engaging and premium-feeling.
It can be created using embossing, textured varnish, or specialty materials like soft-touch or linen paper.

Foil stamping applies metallic or holographic foil using heat and pressure, producing a shiny, reflective finish.
Commonly used on luxury or promotional labels for gold, silver, or holographic effects.

Adhesive Types & Specialty Labels

Half adhesive labels have glue only on part of the surface.
They’re useful for resealable packaging, promotional coupons, or peel-back labels with extra information.

Removable labels stick securely but peel off cleanly without residue — ideal for temporary applications like price tags or promo stickers.

Reusable labels can be stuck, peeled, and re-stuck multiple times, similar to a Post-it® note.
They’re great for resealable food packaging or reusable containers.

Specialty Use Labels

  • Deep Freeze Labels: Work in cold storage (down to –40°C), applied before freezing.

  • Blast Freeze Labels: Designed to stick even on already frozen or frosty surfaces — perfect for frozen foods or pharmaceuticals.

Outdoor labels use durable film materials like PP, PET, or Vinyl that resist sunlight, rain, and heat.
They’re used for industrial, automotive, and safety labeling.

Durability & Maintenance

Light fastness measures how well printed colors resist fading under sunlight.
Labels with high light fastness UV inks and lamination can last years outdoors without color loss.

Scratch-resistant labels are made with durable films and protective coatings to prevent wear from handling and friction.
They’re ideal for logistics, industrial, and outdoor applications.

Handling & Storage

  • Temperature: 18–24°C (65–75°F)

  • Humidity: 45–55% RH

  • Keep away from sunlight and moisture

  • Store flat or upright to prevent curling
    Use labels within 6–12 months for best adhesive performance.
