Our Capabilities
We are experts in Flexographic and Digital label printing technologies and we excel in all self-adhesive label production. Our diversity enables us to provide a extensive range of label products. Our helpful team will advise you on the most cost effective solution for your business.
Digital
Digital print, with its one shot technology, eliminates registration issues. The need for grip/trap is more cost effective on small to medium runs and over multiple types with no plate charges yet still achieving superior results. New technology is being constantly released into our world along with digital print increasing and becoming a stronger printing method. We at Xpress Labels have made extensive investments with the arrival of our new HP Indigo 6900 digital press with inline priming.
The benefits of printing digitally are
- Widest digital colour gamut Xrite and its Spectrophotometer “SPM” achieving 97% of PMS Colours using CMYKOVG Electro inks
- Intelligent colour management
- Unlimited designs
- One shot technology
- High resolution printing
- HP SmartStream Mosaic variable design technology
- Less waste means lower impact on the environment
- Food safe inks
- Carbon neutral and certified with Interek Green Leaf Mark.
Alongside the HP Indigo 6900 we have added the new Digicon 3 from ABG international. This new finishing machine will complete the digital line up of our company with its extensive range of finishes and embellishments.
Flexographic
Always innovative, Flexo printing is a huge part of the label manufacturing industry, great for medium to large runs. With our HD plate technology and state of the art full colour management we have the systems and equipment to ensure your business identity stays on brand, delivering impeccable quality, printing faster and wider.
Across our flexo presses we can run up to 9 UV colours, reverse printing, hot and cold foil, lamination including holographic inline embellishments and water-based inks. We can produce on a wide range of substrates giving us incredible detail and delivering a high quality label.
Colour Matching
We have implemented a closed loop colour control system using Xrite ColourCert colour control software and an ink mixing dispenser enabling us to mix and match any colour the customer requires with a guaranteed Delta E of less than 2 every time. The ColorCert Suite was developed from the ground up to enable the packaging industry to better manage the complexities of CMYK, Expanded Gamut, and Spot Colour workflows, regardless of the printing process, substrate, or industry standard. Its modular set of tools streamline communications, provide actionable data and enable better utilization of existing people, processes and technologies.
Design
Our in house pre-press team work with all our customers to ensure that their concept becomes a reality. Bringing your packaging to life is what we do best, specialising in producing eye catching and beautiful fit for purpose labels that stand out on the shelf.
Foiling & Lamination
Adding hot or cold foil to any label gives it that extra special touch. Lamination can be used to make your label harder wearing or cast and cure to give a holographic, unique eye catching finish.
Varnishes
Using simple matt, gloss or satin varnish or even a mix of matt and gloss can give your labelled products a stand out finish. Tactile varnishes can be used, making your product an experience to hold as well as to see, the feel of the label giving an extra dimension and making your product a ‘must have’ on the shelf.
Peel & Read
We offer multi page peel & read labels for customers who have a small space to fill but lots of information to detail. These types of labels occupy the same space as a standard label while providing far more usable space for instructional, legislative, promotional or multi-language information.
