Frequently Asked Questions

Flexo Printing is a high resolution form of printing that uses polymer plates which image directly on to the substrate. This form of printing is fast, economical and is widely used in the label industry.

A proof is a way of ensuring that your art will be reproduced according to your requirements. Your approval on the final proof is assurance that you have looked over every detail of the job (correct colors, text, layout, ect.) and approved that it is accurate. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure all errors are identified before it goes to print. In the long run it prevents deadlines being pushed back or waste of materials.

Please keep in mind, graphics, art and colors will show different results if viewed on a computer display, inkjet, color laser, high quality proofing systems and even to the individual eye. The only way to ensure an exact match to your complete and total satisfaction, is for you to do a press check which involves you being here when your job is on the press. If you need to be present for a press check, as a result, more time will be needed to complete the job.

We have a total of 8 stations on our press that can be used for process colors, spot colors, foil, and/or varnishes. Any combination can be used as long as the total amount does not exceed 8.

UV coated labels have an aqueous finish put on them for some protection from the elements.

Paper labels are the most economical type of label because paper, unlike film, is not as durable. Paper materials include: semi-gloss, thermal transfer, ect.

Typical lead times for labels are between 5-12 working days from the time we receive your signed proof approval. This allows for efficient scheduling and enough time to print the job perfectly for you, then to have our QC team to check over everything and ensure it is top quality before shipping/delivering your order. Raw Material availability made add to this time.

No, we design and manufacture premade pouches. We can offer suggestions for pouch filling companies based on the pouch type and product contents.

An eyemark, or eyespot, is a small rectangular printed area located near the edge of a web or design. The eyemark reader is triggered by the eyemark as the web passes by, to control register of the printed design with subsequent form, fill or seal equipment or operations. Generally the eyemark pathway should be clear of obstructing design or text.

Our art department can generate a wide variety of UPC code styles. Once you have a numeric code, include that with your artwork and a barcode will be generated on the proof. 

If you have any questions regarding barcodes reach out to he Uniform Product Code Council.

You can contact them (937) 435 - 3870 or www.uc-council.org

Yes you can! We would be happy to measure whichever container you send for the label size. If you do it yourself, it's important to size your label so that

it is at least 1/8" away from any edges or before a container begins to curve. This will allow for play when putting the label on the container.
