Services
Wet Glue Labels
Our wet glue labels utilise B2/B1 sheet-fed printing up to six colours plus varnish, employing UV or conventional inks. Finished sheets undergo precision guillotining, profile punching, 3D embossing, and foil blocking using in-house machinery. This traditional yet versatile method remains ideal for high-volume production across diverse industries requiring durable, cost-effective labelling solutions.
Self Adhesive Labels
Produced on Nilpeter combination presses with litho, screen, and flexo units, these labels achieve photographic quality with inline embossing and hot foiling. Our capabilities include tactile finishes and peel 'n' read constructions, meeting exacting standards for product branding and information delivery across consumer goods and industrial applications.
In-Mould Labels
In-mould labelling integrates pre-printed labels directly into plastic containers during manufacturing. Our expertise ensures permanent, scuff-resistant decoration for blow-moulded bottles and thermoformed packaging. This technique allows full-container decoration with complex shapes and photographic quality, offering design flexibility and production efficiency for FMCG and industrial sectors.
Print Embellishment
We elevate product presentation through foil blocking, embossing, and spot varnishing techniques. Specialised options include fragrant varnishes, thermochromic inks, and tactile warning systems. These enhancements create distinctive shelf presence while meeting functional requirements for security, accessibility, and brand differentiation across premium and everyday products.
Security Printing
Our security printing incorporates photochromic inks, scratch panels, and tactile warning elements. These features protect product integrity through hidden verification markers and accessibility enhancements. Applications span tax stamps, pharmaceutical packaging, and luxury goods requiring protection against counterfeiting and tampering.
