Custom printed labels · Supplied on rolls

Custom printed labels, made to reorder.

Product labels printed to your size, shape, stock and finish: on HP Indigo digital for launch runs, and on flexo once the volumes grow. Every job is printed, finished, inspected and wound onto rolls in our own factory, then delivered across the UK.

Minimum order £120 + VAT. We aim to get back to you the same working day.

How we print it

The right press for the run.

Tell us the product, the container and the quantity. We pick the stock, the press and the finish to suit, and you see every line of it on an itemised quote.

Short runs and new designs go on our HP Indigo 6K, a seven-colour digital press that needs no plates. Most runs under 5,000 labels are printed there. Film labels that need a dense white underneath, for clear bottles or dark containers, run on our Screen Truepress UV inkjet.

When a label settles into steady volumes, usually 5,000 and up, we can move it to UV flexo on our Edale FL3 or Nilpeter FB-14 for a lower cost per label. We print it to the same spec as the digital run you already approved, so the reorder looks like the launch.

Every job then goes through finishing and inspection on our own lines. We slit and wind it to the core size and wind direction your applicator needs, and pack it for delivery anywhere in the UK.

Stocks, shapes and finishes.

The options buyers ask about most. We run plenty that aren’t listed here, so if you’ve seen a label you like, ask us.

STOCKS

Paper, film and metallised

Coated and uncoated papers, recycled and natural-fibre stocks, white, clear and metallised PP, and PE for squeeze bottles. Holographic and BS5609 marine-grade stocks for specialist jobs.

SHAPES

Any shape you can draw

Rectangles, circles and ovals, or a custom outline cut by laser straight from your artwork. See die-cut labels.

FINISHES

Metallics, spot UV, tactile

Gold, silver and holographic metallics, gloss spot UV, raised tactile varnish, and soft-touch or gloss laminates. See metallic labels and spot UV labels.

VARIABLE DATA

Codes on every label

Batch codes, barcodes, serial numbers and unique promo codes, printed during the run on our digital presses or on our Domino K600i inkjet.

ROLLS

Wound to your applicator

Tell us the core size, roll diameter and wind direction your labelling machine needs, or that you apply by hand, and we wind every roll to suit.

ARTWORK

Pre-flight and digital proof

We check every file for bleed, resolution and finish layers, then send a digital proof for you to sign off. Nothing goes to press until you’ve approved it.

Dates and minimums

Need a rapid turnaround?

Get in touch and tell us your date. Digital runs need no plates or cutting dies, so once you’ve signed off the proof there’s nothing to wait for before we print. We schedule our own presses, so we can check your date and give you a straight answer.

Our minimum order is £120 + VAT per job, because every job is set up as its own production run. Peel & reveal labels have a higher minimum, quoted per job.

FAQ

Questions about custom labels.

What is the minimum order for custom labels?
£120 + VAT per job. Within that you choose the quantity, and the price per label falls as the run gets longer. Peel & reveal labels have a higher minimum, quoted per job.
How quickly can you print custom labels?
Need a rapid turnaround? Get in touch and tell us your date. Digital jobs need no plates or dies, so there’s nothing to order in once you sign off the proof. We check your date against our own press schedule before we quote.
Digital or flexo: which is right for my labels?
We work that out with you from the quantity and the design. Digital suits short runs, new designs and ranges with many versions, because there are no plates. Flexo suits long runs of the same label, where the plate cost is spread across tens of thousands of labels. Many brands start on digital and move to flexo as their volumes grow.
Are your labels supplied on rolls?
Yes. We wind them onto rolls to the core size, roll diameter and wind direction you need, whether they go on by labelling machine or by hand.
How should I send my artwork?
A print-ready PDF with bleed works best, with any foil, spot UV or cut line on its own named layer. We pre-flight every file and send a digital proof showing where each finish lands, and you sign it off before anything prints.
Where do you deliver?
Anywhere in the UK. Every label is made in our own factory and sent out from there.
