Services
Wet Glue Labels
Our wet glue labels are produced using UV or conventional inks on B2/B1 sheet-fed presses with up to six colour capabilities. These labels undergo multiple finishing processes including guillotining, 3D embossing, and foil blocking. Ideal for composite tube applications, our precision manufacturing ensures consistent quality across large production runs while maintaining dimensional accuracy for automated application processes.
Self Adhesive Labels
We produce high-quality self-adhesive labels using Nilpeter combination presses with inline screen and flexo units. Our six-colour plus varnish capability ensures exceptional image reproduction. The integrated embossing and hot foiling systems create premium finishes suitable for luxury goods packaging. These labels offer excellent adhesion properties across various substrates while maintaining dimensional stability during application.
In-Mould Labels
Our in-mould labelling technology embeds pre-printed labels directly into plastic containers during manufacturing. This process creates permanent, tamper-proof decoration for blow-moulded bottles and injection-moulded containers. The labels withstand extreme temperatures and mechanical stress while allowing complete surface coverage with complex designs that integrate seamlessly with the product's structure.
Print Embellishment
We offer multiple embellishment techniques to increase product shelf appeal. Our hot foiling creates premium metallic finishes, while embossing adds tactile dimensionality. Specialised varnishes provide protective coatings with gloss or matte finishes. We also implement innovative solutions like fragrant varnishes and thermochromic inks that change appearance with temperature variations for interactive packaging experiences.
Promotional Print
Our promotional print services ensure colour consistency across complementary packaging elements. We produce neck tags, bottle collars, greeting cards, and calendars using the same quality control standards as primary labels. This integrated approach guarantees brand consistency while maintaining production efficiency through combined workflow management and material sourcing.
