Each method has its advantages depending on the specific needs of the project.

    The inks used in Flexographic label printing typically uses water-based inks, including solvent-based inks, and UV-curable inks. They are applied to the substrate using a flexible printing plate. The substrate is then passed through a series of rollers, which transfer the ink onto the substrate. The inks are then dried using ultraviolet light or heat.
  • What are Pantone colours?
    The Pantone system is a standardised colour matching system used in many industries, especially printing. It ensures that colours match across different manufacturers and locations, without the need for direct contact.
  • What is hot foil in label production?
    Hot foil is a type of printing technique used in label production. It involves the use of a heated die to stamp a design onto a substrate, such as paper or plastic. The heat from the die melts a thin layer of foil, which is then transferred onto the substrate. Hot foil printing is often used to create high-quality, eye-catching labels that stand out from the crowd. It is also used to create unique, custom designs that are difficult to replicate with other printing methods.
  • Does hot foil printing require plates?
    No, hot foil printing does not require plates. It uses a heated die to stamp a design onto a substrate, such as paper or plastic. The heated die presses the foil onto the substrate, creating a high-quality, eye-catching design.
  • What is cold foil?
    Cold foil is a type of label production process that uses a special foil material to create a metallic finish on labels. The process involves printing a design onto a substrate, then applying a thin layer of cold foil to the design. The cold foil is then heated and pressed onto the substrate, creating a metallic finish. This process is often used to create labels with a high-end, luxurious look.
  • What is adhesive kill?
    Adhesive kill is a process used in label production to prevent adhesive from sticking to specific areas of the label. It is done by applying a thin layer of adhesive-resistant material to the areas of the label where adhesive should not be applied. This material can be a thin film, a wax, or a special coating.
  • What are peel and reveal labels?
    Peel and reveal labels are labels that have a top layer that can be peeled off to reveal the information underneath. They are often used to protect sensitive information, such as barcodes, serial numbers, or expiration dates. They are also used to provide additional information, such as instructions or warnings. Peel and reveal labels are often used on food and beverage products, pharmaceuticals, vape products for e liquid manufacturers and other consumer products.
  • Can I use bright silver PP material rather than using foil to create a foil or metallic effects?
    Silver PP label substrates can be used in place of foil by printing a design onto the substrate using a digital label press. The silver material is exposed using a transparency at the design stage, which gives printed colours a metallic appearance and exposes the bright silver PP surface where white is used in the design. This gives the label a unique foil effect.
  • Why is there a cost for printing plates?
    Flexographic printing requires plates to transfer the desired image onto the printing surface or substrate. These plates, made from flexible materials like rubber or photopolymer, are etched with the image to be printed and then fitted onto the print press cylinders. While there is an initial cost for creating these plates, flexographic printing is generally more cost-effective for large runs. Contact sales@beonelabels.co.uk to find the most cost-effective way to print your labels, packaging, or flexible packaging (printed pouches).

  • What is PLA compostable film?
    PLA compostable film is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional plastic films. It is made from polylactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable and compostable material derived from renewable resources such as corn starch, tapioca roots, or sugarcane. When composted, PLA film breaks down into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass, leaving no toxic residue behind.
  • What is PHA pouch film?
    PHA pouch film is a type of plastic film made from polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), a biodegradable and compostable material derived from renewable resources such as corn, sugarcane, and other plant-based sources.
  • What is PBS pouch film?
