Waterproof BS5609 PP for anything chilled, and HP Indigo inks suitable for indirect food contact. Metallics, spot UV and raised tactile textures, all run in-house in our own factory.
The labels we print for this sector, the stocks they run on and the finishes that suit them, so you know what to ask for.
Our food & drink customers include craft breweries in the Peak District and cold-pressed juice startups in East London. They need labels that survive the fridge and the ice bucket, barcodes that scan first time, and a front that still stands out on the shelf.
Expect BS5609 PP for anything chilled or condensation-prone, and HP Indigo inks suitable for indirect food contact across the board. Digital foil, spot UV and raised tactile textures run at any volume on our digital kit. Flexo takes over on longer runs, where it brings the cost per label down.
A range can mix the two: digital for seasonal SKUs and short runs, flexo for the core lines that sell in volume. We plan print dates around your launch and confirm them with your quote.
Four things every customer gets on every job, in every sector we supply, printed labels and blanks alike.
We aim to get quotes back to you the same working day, and we schedule your run against the date you give us. If it's tight, say so up front and you'll get a straight answer on whether it's doable before you commit.
