Self-Adhesive Label Printing

Commonly known as stickers, this very useful item can be used for advertising, labelling merchandise, stock control, branding, pricing, barcoding, security coding, in fact, your imagination is the only limitation!

We are flexographic printers, which means we need to produce a plate for each colour printed on your label. We also provide digital label printing with digital shape cutting. You can supply us with the artwork or design for your label, and we will do the finishing touches to make your artwork print-ready. We are also capable of producing artwork for you and we are very proud of the many labels that we have had the pleasure of designing.

The self-adhesive substrates we use have a variety of topcoats and glues/adhesives which we can tailor to suit your requirements. We also offer a choice of protective layers for your labels, including laminate, ultra violet varnish and machine varnish protection known as OVP varnish.

Print Finishing

We have machinery capable of inserting a knotted poly-cotton string through various tags, including clothing tags, tags to hang around the neck of a bottle, etc. If you are wanting a different look and would prefer jute cord, metallic thread, ribbon or elastic strung through your tag, we have dedicated and highly proficient staff who will do this work by hand. We also have eyeletting machines which will punch a 5 mm silver or gold eyelet into your tag if you feel the hole needs to be reinforced.
