What we print for Food & Drink.
A dedicated breakdown of the labels, stocks and finishes we run for this sector — written for the people who actually place the orders.
From craft breweries in the Peak District to cold-pressed juice startups in East London, we print for UK food & drink brands that need labels which survive the fridge, the ice bucket and the barcode scanner — without compromising on shelf standout.
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 all run at any volume on our digital kit; flexo kicks in when the run size makes it the right choice.
Whether you’re launching a single seasonal SKU or a 12-strong core range, we pair digital agility with flexo scale — so your timings fit your launch, not ours.

06 · Questions answered
Frequently asked — food & drink.
Are your inks food-safe?
Our digital work runs on HP Indigo inks, which are suitable for indirect food contact. We can advise on the right stock and ink pairing for your application — but we don’t issue independent compliance certification ourselves.
Do you print on BS5609 stocks?
Yes. We stock BS5609-grade PP, ideal for chilled drinks, ice-bucket bottles and marine-grade applications. We can supply the stock manufacturer’s certification with the order.
What is your minimum order quantity?
We print runs from 50 labels up to full production volumes — digital for agility, flexo for scale. No plate costs on digital work.
How fast can you turn a job around?
Express turnaround options are available on request. Written quotes come back within 1 hour in business time.
Can you print booklet labels?
We print peel & reveal labels up to 4 pages — that’s our cap. We don’t run multi-page booklet labels beyond that.
