Services
Digital Label Printing
Our digital label printing utilises Xeikon CX-300 presses to produce high-definition (1200 dpi) labels with perfect registration. This cost-effective solution suits small runs, multiple SKUs, and variable data like QR codes. We use environmentally friendly toners approved for food safety, offering finishes such as foiling and embossing. Ideal for startups with minimum orders of 150 units.
HD Flexographic Printing
As ESKO HD-approved printers, we deliver high-volume flexographic labels with vibrant colours and sharp details. Our rotary operation prints up to eight colours in one pass on materials like paper and synthetics. With 12,000+ stock cutters and options for special effects, this method ensures cost efficiency for medium to long print runs while maintaining Pantone colour consistency.
Food Packaging Labels
BRCGS AA+ accredited labels designed for food and beverage packaging. Our solutions meet supermarket compliance standards with food-safe materials and inks. We produce labels for wine, spirits, craft beer, and supplements, offering waterproof and tamper-evident options. Trusted by major brands for accuracy and regulatory compliance.
Pharmaceutical Labels
Precision-printed pharmaceutical labels with strict adherence to regulatory requirements. Our ISO14001-certified process ensures traceability and durability.
