Self Adhesive Labels

Our self adhesive plain and printed labels can be used in a number of different applications, for leisure/personal use or for commercial purposes. Some of the most popular uses are for product branding, stock control, delivery and postage, media and other common office and departmental uses.

Pressure-sensitive labels are the most common type of labels. These labels have 3 layers:

(1) - Label face
(2) - Adhesive
(3) - Backing

The label face can be plain or printed through inkjet, laser, copier, flexo, digital and thermal printers

We produce plain and printed labels in various labels faces such as: matt, glossy, clear, coloured and opaque (blackout) all with the option of 4 colour flexo printing.

The adhesive used is dependent on the environment in which the label will be applied. We produce labels for temporary and permanent uses with permanent, peelable and high tack adhesives available for any temperature tolerances which are required. Labels can be applied to most surfaces such as wood, metal, plastic and gloss surfaces.

Please supply with your artwork a Microsoft word document containing all of the text within your artwork. This will enable us to make any changes necessary using the original copy.

Artwork files can be sent through by email or post (Floppy, CD, DVD). Always keep copies of any original artwork supplied.

Alternatively, we can product artwork for you, on request. Send us your details and your requirements in as much detail as possible and we will produce a proof for your approval.

Flexo Printing

Once we have received approval of the artwork, we can then produce photopolymer printing plates for printing your labels. These plates consist of Black, Cyan, Yellow or Magenta colour(s).

The press is configured with the print plates of your approved artwork along with flexi die's based on the label size. We then wind the selected material through the press and slit them into rolls depending on the quantity of labels on each roll and the number of rolls required. The printed and slitted rolls are packed into protective bags and boxes, ready for dispatch.

We can also configure our press to produce plain A4 Sheet labels, which can be printed on using inkjet and laser printers.
