UV Printing
Oriel Printing specialises in high-precision UV printing on diverse substrates, including plastics, foil, and synthetic materials. Our Heidelberg XL106 press handles sheets up to 1060x750mm at 18,000 sheets per hour, ensuring vibrant, durable results. Advanced spectrophotometers maintain colour consistency within 1.5 Delta E, meeting strict industry standards.
Scodix Digital Enhancement
Our Scodix technology adds premium finishes like raised foiling and spot UV varnish without dies or films. This digital process enables variable data personalisation and exact registration, creating eye-catching packaging and marketing materials with rapid turnaround times for competitive advantage.
Sustainable Packaging
We offer recyclable, compostable packaging solutions using FSC-certified paper and SafeTouch Barrier coatings. Our processes eliminate plastic linings while maintaining grease resistance, supporting clients' EPR and Plastic Packaging Tax compliance through ethical, low-carbon production methods.
Colour Management
Utilising CxF technology, we ensure consistent brand colours across global supply chains. Digital spectral data defines tolerances as tight as 1 Delta E, reducing reprints and material waste. Services include physical colour drawdowns and ISO12647-2-certified proofing for precise ink formulation.
Trade Printing Services
Oriel supports trade clients with confidential UV and lithographic printing on substrates like microflute board and self-adhesive vinyl. We handle short runs to high-volume projects, offering in-line coatings and partnerships for finishing services such as die-cutting and folder gluing.
