Label Services
If your business relies on hand or machine applied labels to keep production moving, then you know how important it is to have a printer who prints labels in-house. We have the most common inks and paper on the floor ready to print.
Know what you need and have a goal. We carry a wide range of materials because we print a wide variety of labels for a wide variety of industries. Simple labeling projects can get by with popular, cost-effective stock combinations, like semi-gloss paper with a permanent adhesive. More complex projects may require special material and adhesive combinations such as BOPP, Vinyl, Direct and Thermal Transfer.
Consider where your label will live. The conditions your labels will endure during and after application are big considerations. Direct contact with moisture, storage temperature, the presence of airborne particles, and other environmental factors play a significant role in the label’s life. When selecting label materials, get input from anyone that comes into contact with the label (production, shipping/receiving, packaging and even sales). They could give you get a better picture of what your labels will face, both in your facility and out in the world.
Don’t forget the substrate. The material/surface your labels will be applied to can throw a wrench into your plans if not factored into the equation. The substrate’s composition (i.e. glass, plastic, metal, etc.) can even react differently to certain adhesive types. Labels stick best to clean, smooth, non-porous surfaces, but having that “perfect” surface isn’t always an option. What if your substrate only has two of these qualities – or none at all? If unclean surfaces are unavoidable, or the surface is rough instead of smooth, then it’s a good idea to go with a permanent label adhesive with high initial tack.
