Digital Printing
By default, we produce your roll labels using digital printing. There are many advantages to the principles of modern digital printing. Therefore, over the past years, we have specialized in this printing method and are proud to have HP as our leading partner.
How Does Offset Printing Work?
But now to offset printing. This is an indirect flat printing process based on the chemical repulsion of water and oil. The different surface properties ensure that the printing ink only adheres to the desired areas. The areas that are not to be printed are wetted with water so that they repel the oil-based ink. The individual colours are printed onto the label in a step-by-step process. In offset printing, paper and plastic can be used as substrates.
Which Printing Method Is Right for Me?
We print your stickers and labels – removable, permanent adhesive, or wet adhesive. The intended use determines the required properties of your labels and the materials that are suitable. Whether it’s foil-laminated aluminum labels, preprints for your thermal transfer printer, or finished roll labels on matte coated paper, we offer a wide range of options.
