Domed
Labels

A wide range of resin domed labels, domed badges and domed stickers ensuring that every job is completely fit for purpose. Superb full colour print definition is complimented by precision applied polyurethane resin which turns a lifeless flat vinyl label into an aesthetic branding tool of any shape or size.

Today's print software technology enables a sophisticated method of including many print options to the manufacture of resin domed labels, domed badges & domed stickers. In addition to the vibrant digital high resolution full colour print, the domed labels can be augmented with:

  • Sequential Numbering
  • Variable Data Insertion
  • Barcoding
  • Multiple Image Insertion

Domed labels & domed badges are manufactured to last and are capable of surviving in even the most hostile of environments where they still look great! Once applied (simply lift from sheet), you can rely on the rugged nature of the materials used to provide many lasting attributes:

  • Sequential Numbering
  • Variable Data Insertion
  • Barcoding
  • Multiple Image Insertion
  • Sequential Numbering
  • Variable Data Insertion
  • Barcoding
  • Multiple Image Insertion

Barcode
Labels

We can reproduce both linear and datamatrix barcodes labels onto anodised aluminium, under surface printed polycarbonate and even stainless steel.

We can also reproduce QR codes, commonly used in Marketing, which when scanned provide a direct connection to a specific web page outlining the company, product or even instructions for use!

We can offer the most suitable process for your barcode labels depending on your particular application:- Roll-form labels offer an economical option for high volume usage in low risk applications such as Electronics, Logistics and Warehousing.

Anodised aluminium barcodes provide a hard-wearing finish in which the code is printed into the grain of the material – these are used in Military, Asset Management and Industrial applications.

Undersurface printed polycarbonate, where the barcode is printed on the rear of the material, ideal in applications where a full colour, flexible label or tag is required. Ideal for Marketing, Medical and Warehousing applications.

Etched stainless steel is used in very high temperature applications or in harsh environments such as the Oil and Gas Industry.

Our barcode labels can be supplied with either a self-adhesive backing, suitable to adhering to various substrates, or with fixing holes depending on your requirements. Using the latest digital printing technology we can also print full colour logos and text detail onto your barcode labels to ensure that they meet with your specific requirements.

Your roll labels will be made to any custom shape or size with your own measurements, and then printed for razor sharp detail and intensely rich colour. You can also choose from a range of finishes, such as gloss or matt, for just the right look. If your product involves food or drink, that’s no problem too. Our polypropylene material is waterproof and suitable for any external labelling, whilst our paper material is completely food-safe even for direct contact with edible products. With both materials, we only use FDA-approved toner so your labels on a roll can be perfectly suited to your needs.

Metal detectable
labels & tags

Metal detectable labels and tags come in all sorts of forms; adhesive labels, loop-lock tags, self-tie tags, temperature resistant labels and tags, and many more. Metal detectable labels and tags are predominantly used in the food sector to ensure food safety and avoid contamination by labelling materials.

  • Allergen tags with an easy tick-box recording system that can be designed to fit your cages, trays and dolavs perfectly
  • Temperature resistant materials that maintain their integrity through your cooking, freezing or preparation processes
  • Thermal materials that can be used with your thermal transfer or direct thermal printer to record batch codes, product details, use by dates etc
  • Uniquely numbered or barcoded tags to simplify traceability.

Tamper evident labels, also known as tamper seals, tamper labels, tamper proof labels, security seals and void labels, are used across many industry sectors to protect brand integrity and safeguard consumers against counterfeiting. There are various types of tamper evident techniques, from ‘void’ labels to aggressive adhesive labels.

We make tamper evident labels and asset tags to your specification. The perfect tamper evident label solution will be customised to meet your exact requirements; these may include:

Variable data
labels & tags

Variable data labels and tags are also known as barcode labels, traceability labels, authentication labels and sequentially numbered labels. They are commonly used across many industry sectors to keep track of goods and containers, and for product authentication. Each variable data label or tag contains an individual piece of data in the form of a 2D code, barcode or QR code that, when scanned, allows unique identification.

We make variable data labels and tags to your specification. The best variable data label and tag solutions will be customised to meet your exact requirements; these may include:

  • A QR code printed inside a peel and reveal label to add an element of surprise to your on-pack competition
  • Multiple codes on high frequency purchase products so the consumers get a variety of different messages when they repeat purchase
  • Durable label materials that are laminated to produce robust LPN labels for repeated use.

Removable labels are designed for use as temporary labels, which will be removed when they are no longer needed or are out of date. The adhesives used on these labels are designed to provide enough adhesive strength to keep the label in place while it is needed and to leave no adhesive residue behind when the label is removed.

While these labels are removable, they are not “repositionable” or “reusable”; once they have been stuck down, they can only be peeled off once and cannot be reapplied. You may be able to adjust the position of a label if you misapply it in the first instance but only on the condition that you remove, adjust, and reapply your label immediately (i.e. before the adhesive has begun to set). How removable a label is depends not just on the kind and amount of adhesive but also the surface it is stuck onto, the temperature, how much pressure was used to apply it, and how long it has been stuck on.

Thermal labels,
tags and cards

Thermal labels and tags are also known as over printing labels, printable labels, thermal transfer labels, direct thermal labels and portable printer labels. Thermal materials are also commonly used to produce tray cards and tray end cards. Thermal labels, tags and cards are predominantly used in the food sector wherever traceability information needs to be printed in-situ.

We make thermal labels, tags and cards to your specification. The best thermal label and tag solutions will be customised to meet your exact requirements; these may include:

  • Coated thermal materials designed to be robust and long lasting
  • Temperature resistant thermal materials that will withstand your cooking, freezing and preparation processes
