TYPES OF DRINKS & BEVERAGES LABELS

Beer Labels

British beer and the craft beer industry are massive right now with growth globally.  Making your product stand out in such a booming market requires innovative branding, exceptional quality and unique value for your customers.  Outshine your competition and launch a new range of craft beers, lagers or pilsner without breaking the bank. Our custom beer labels are digitally printed for a premium look without the need for artwork or set up charges.  Short runs or large runs are no issue and we offer a full design service if required.

Wine & Spirits Labels

Wines and spirits bottles need high-quality, eye-catching, well designed labels to create a sense of luxury and style to attract customers and reinforce your brand’s image as upscale and trustworthy.  To help you showcase your wine or spirit bottles to make them look exceptional, we use printing techniques like hot foil stamping and “no look” transparent labels to create a seamless, sophisticated look for your product range.  While the front label grabs attention with its premium look, we often use more cost-effective materials for the back label as it typically doesn’t play a role in selling the product directly.  Our attention to detail ensures that your bottle will meet regulatory standards and also stand out on shelves, enhancing brand appeal and conveying essential product information for your customers.

Soft Drinks

To excel in this multi-billion-pound industry, soft drink labels tailored for adult consumers demand elegant designs and premium branding to captivate customers with sophisticated tastes and preferences.  Innovative packaging, luxurious finishes, clear information and health-conscious features are among the many essential considerations for drinks companies striving to beat their competition.

Our expert staff can help your business to navigate the vast range of soft drink label printing options available to you.  Our digitally printed labels are cost-effective for short runs and offer hiqh quality, customisation and quick turnaround times.  For medium to high-volume print runs, flexo drink labels may suit your product needs by offering versatile materials, precise colour matching and specialty finishing options.   for your business covering a variety of categories and types we offer not only digital print but also flexo to give you the very best choices when it comes to printing type and techniques.

Hot drinks

The hot drinks industry that covers Tea, Coffee, Chocolate and Fruit fusion covers a wide range of product labels for point of sale and requires a good degree of technical know how that will include nutrition and allergen information, as well as POS and product design.

A suitable technology for industrial packaging

During the packing of hot food products such as sauces and prepared foods, the heat spreads through the packaging film and is therefore able to break down, melt or erase the ink. This constraint is amplified by the high speed of certain packing lines which require the use of a quick-drying ink.

Thermal Transfer technology offers a high-performance print solution for high-quality marking.

• Certain Thermal Transfer printers can be integrated within the production or packing line and are able to operate in hot and humid environments;
• In keeping with the demands of high-throughput applications, printing is possible at a speed of up to 1 metre per second, whether in intermittent or continuous mode;
• Thermal Transfer inks offer excellent adhesive qualities for all types of plastic packaging, even pre-printed.

Quality printing for durable information

Thermal Transfer printing is able to mark all types of logos, text and numbers with a good visual finish and a level of resistance suitable for the product’s environment during production and use. To avoid an expiry date or any traceability information being rubbed off, a Thermal Transfer ink must be selected that is able to provide resistance against heat, steam, abrasion and handling.

A print solution integrated within the packing line

Direct printing on flexible plastic film is very widespread in the food processing industry (pasta, chips, frozen products, etc.), in the hardware sector (nails, screws, bolts, etc.), for certain cosmetics (samples of cream and other liquids) and pharmaceutical products (personalised doses of medicines).

Printers designed for printing directly onto packaging films are integrated within the packing line and certain models are able to meet the requirements of high-throughput applications, operating at speeds of up to 1 meter per second.

Quality printing for durable information

Thermal Transfer offers maximum flexibility for customising packaging: alpha-numeric characters, logos and barcodes all have a good visual finish for easier reading.  To avoid an expiry date or barcode being erased, a Thermal Transfer ribbon must be selected that offers resistance to the constraints of the packaging process and utilisation of the product: abrasion, handling, foodstuffs, chemicals, etc.

Clear labels

The transparent effect can help give an even more professional look to any packaging or product. Often used to indicate a size, colour or type of garment either directly onto the clothes or on the clear packaging for retail.

Product Labels

Whether you’re producing a limited run of a few thousand items or millions on a regular basis, we can offer both digital (for small runs) and flexographic (for larger quantities) to provide the most cost-effective solution for you.  We can print up to 8 colour, with photo-quality graphics on any substrate you select, be it a premium splash-proof polypropylene for your food jars or matt paper to keep costs down on your company-branded outer case labels.

Seals & Tabs labels

When you need a box or your packaging to have a decent clear seal that will hold for the life of the product, then look no further than our clear seals.  Over the years we have researched the very best product for this job and supply millions of these labels every month.  We offer a range of circles and rectangles to all sorts of companies to help keep your product sealed and secure.  These can be either plain or printed.

Outer Case Labels

We can offer a few different labels based on the your requirements. If you only need it to last 4 weeks then a direct thermal label (printing without a ribbon) would be a good short-term low-cost material for you to use. If you need to label something going into storage for 12 months then we would always suggest a thermal label paired with a high quality ribbon to eradicate any chance of print fading. If you’re storing in a freezer we have an adhesive that works in a blast-freezer down to -40.

Plain Labels

We can manufacture almost any plain label whether it’s on a roll, sheets or fan-folded.  Our full range of Paper materials include Semi-gloss and Matt, Thermal Transfer, Direct Thermal, Ink-Jet and Laser.  In addition we offer a full range of synthetic label materials like Polyester, Polypropylene, Polypropylene & Vinyl.  We cover all ranges of adhesives from Perm, Peel and Freezer and have over 2000 cutter sizes to choose from.

High Resistance Hi-Tac Permanent Labels

These labels are ideal for those applications where you simply can’t afford to lose the label or the legibility of the information printed.  These are produced by combining the water-resistant properties of a synthetic material like polypropylene or polyester with the fast curing of a hi-tack adhesive to give you a label you can count on.

A4 Laser Labels

We offer a stock range of over 40 sizes in plain white A4 laser labels, choose between Butt-Cut and Die-Cut sizes to suit with the best prices in the UK. We can also offer a range of made to order laser labels that include colours and synthetic materials and a range of adhesives.

Peel and Reveal Labels

if you need to include lots of information but only have a small space to work with on your product, multi-page peel and reveal labels mean you’re able to include all the information required by law to inform patients of dosage, directions of use, side effects and statutory product warning information.

Promotional Labels – Peel n Reveal

With an ever growing need to give your customers more information or to promote your company or product, but with limited space to display it all we offer the fantastic “Peel n Reveal” labels.

Tactile Labels

By law, packaging for products labelled as ‘very toxic’, ‘corrosive’, ‘toxic’, ‘harmful’ or ‘extremely flammable’ must carry a tactile warning label to alert the blind or partially sighted.

All tactile labels must conform to the BS ISO 11683 standard.

Contact our experts for advice on the tactile labels to suit your application

 

Bottle & Jar labels

Your bottle or jar labels can be specified to be any size, colour or shape with a multitude of different materials to choose from to match your needs for water proof/resistance, gloss or matt finish on paper or even a clear label for a transparent effect.

Printed Labels

We can produce labels in any colour of your choice from 1 to 8 different colours with flexographic (high volume orders) and photo quality print with digital labels (economical up to approx 10k labels of 1 type).

Matt or Gloss Finish

There is a label substrate to suit your preference whether you would like a high gloss finish or a more traditional looking paper-matt.

Freezer/Deep Freeze Labels

We offer several different “grades” of adhesive with different temperature ratings, this can be anything from a simple freezer down to -10°C all the way through to extreme cold, such as -50°C in a blast-freezer.

Product Labels

Whether you’re producing a limited run of a few thousand items or over 100,000 on a regular basis, we can offer both digital (for small runs) and flexographic (for larger quantities) to provide the most cost effect solution for you. We can print up to 8 colour, with photo-quality graphics on any substrate you select, be it a premium splash-proof polypropylene for your food jars or matt paper to keep costs down on your company-branded outer case labels.

Promotional / Pricing Labels

We can manufacture an array of pre-printed promotional and pricing labels for you as well as 1, 2 and 3 line pricing gun labels for variable text input on your site. They can be made with permanent adhesive or peelable for easy removal.

Print & Apply

Print and apply systems provide time-saving and error reduction, with the newest machines labelling up to 600 items per minute. We can manufacture labels to the exact limits of your print & apply machine in order to maximise the efficiency of your production-lines and reduce label change-overs.

Serialised Barcode / Batch Labels

Using our in-house label printers, we can produce barcode labels or products labels with serialisation for either the barcode, serial number or batch code that is variable on your labels. Or we can supply pre-printed labels you can overprint during the production process.

QR Code Labels

QR code labels are adhesive labels that contain a Quick Response (QR) code, which is a two-dimensional barcode that can store information such as website URLs, contact details, product information or promotions.  This information is available via a single scan; virtually any device with a camera can do it. You can also set up your barcode to take the scanner to a website or specific page.

Shaped Labels

Shaped labels are adhesive labels that are cut into non-rectangular or custom shapes rather than the traditional rectangular or square format.  They can help products stand out on shelves, can match the style of your brand’s packaging and can be customised to create virtually any shape such as circles, ovals, stars, hearts, triangles and custom die-cut shapes.  They can be applied to a wide range of surfaces and packaging materials including bottles, jars, boxes, bags and more giving your business the creative freedom to reinforce your brand identity.

Removable Labels

These labels offer a convenient and flexible labelling solution for temporary applications where clean removal is essential.  They’re easy to remove and residue-free making it a popular choice for temporary labelling in warehouses such as managing inventory and resealable packaging.  They are often used for price labels on items of clothing or shipping labels that can be removed without ruining the packaging.

Tags & Tickets

Non-adhesive tags and tickets are used for a wide range of purposes, including retail price tags, cage cards and ‘work in progress’ control.

We make and print non-adhesive tags and swing tickets on roll usually with a perforation between each.  They can be on card or paper material, thermal transfer and thermal direct material available, either plain or pre-printed with your own custom design.  Swing tags can also be produced with a punched hole/chad.

Varnished Labels

These are labels coated with a layer of varnish for extra protection from environmental factors such as UV exposure, abrasion and moisture.

Water-Resistant Labels

Some labels are 100% waterproof but this can be an expensive option.  For a more cost effective label solution for bottles and jars, we offer splash-proof materials with a light layer of varnish to help avoid smudging of ink or destruction of the label. We would also recommend using them on plastic or metal containers/crates.
