SPECIALISTS IN DIGITAL, FLEXOGRAPHIC
AND OFFSET LABEL PRINTING
Although they serve the same purpose, labels can be very different in terms of use, artwork and specifications.
Label Innovators is able to meet the demanding requirements of multiple industries by operating multiple types of printing and equipment across two manufacturing facilities in Livermore and Santa Rosa Ca. Our team of label experts is always ready to help recommend the right equipment for your label project.
Digital Offset Advantage:
- Low to no setup costs
- No plate costs
- Perfect print registration
- Affordable for small print runs
Since 2008, we've understood the practical use of Digital print technology in producing high quality labels. Today we use the most advanced HP Digital presses designed specifically for intricate labels, giving our customers high quality printing even on small orders. Digital printing lowers production costs on shorter runs by eliminating film, plates and set-up time. See below for additional finishing options.
Flexo Advantage:
- High Press Speeds
- Economical for long print runs
- Best for metallic inks
- Excellent color consistency
In 1999 we raised the bar with flexo printing for labels. Today we still push the boundaries by using Kodak's NX plate system with Digicap screening to give labels finer dots, higher line screens and more detail. Our flexo presses are excellent at printing on a variety of papers and films and produce great metallic inks. See below for additional finishing options.
Waterless Offset Advantage:
- Best for fine gradient detail
- Vibrant color reproduction
- Ideal for medium to large runs
- No VOC's, environment friendly
Our pressure sensitive waterless offset presses provide superior results with flawless detail, smooth blends and fine tints. At Label Innovators we take this technology one step further by teaming the latest plate making process with the latest Digital Plate Imaging system making high line screens not only achievable but repeatable run after run. See below for additional finishing options.
ADDITIONAL FINISHING OPTIONS
Our full selection of label finishing and decoration options add upscale elements that increase your product's value in the market place. Labels with foil stamping, embossing and high build varnishes invite shoppers to pickup your package and learn more about your product.
With hot foil stamping a heated metal die is used to better transfer fine foil detail to the label and hold tight registration. A wide array of foil colors are available.
Choose our sculpted embossing option when fine details and a varying depth of emboss is needed in your design.
Single level or polymer embossing gives great results when a large element needs to be raised at one continuous height. Since we make our own die in-house, we can control the detail and amount of depth.
High build varnish is applied with a mesh screen process and adds a hard raised surface to your label. Choose this effect when highlighting specific elements like logos or images on matte or uncoated papers for greatest impact.
Paper texture add a tactile quality that invites buyers to pick up your product. The team at Label Innovators can help you design your own texture or supply you with samples of available textures to choose from.
Consumer testing shows that using a unique shape for your label helps buyers recognize your brand quicker.
Adding a spot gloss varnish is an economical way to highlight special elements. Use on uncoated or matte papers for greatest impact.
Using a metallic ink on traditional paper provides extra emphasis to design elements and adds richness.
