Often, low-volume, high-resolution, full-colour labels are urgently required for quality products and should fit a certain size and cost range. Label and Print Technologies were happy to meet our customer's requirements with the below attached labels..

Labels applied to Kovaara Chardonnay 2024 and Cabernet Savignon 2023. (Picture sent by customer)

The Kovaara label was printed digitally utilising CMYK technology, onto a glossy, white polypropylene self adhesive.

A Matt over laminating material was applied and the front and back labels were cut to size 110mm x 94mm.

Overprinting variable information onto pre-printed colour generic labels with a thermal transfer printer provides exceptional flexibility and efficiency.

This method allows businesses to quickly and easily add barcodes, batch numbers, and expiry dates—on demand, without interrupting production or needing to redesign entire label stocks.

Thermal transfer printing (with resin based carbon inks) delivers high-quality, durable labels that resist fading and smudging. It works with a variety of materials, making it suitable for many industries.

Using this process to print is cost-effective, eliminates the need for stock holding of many variants and saves on initial artwork origination charges.

In summary: If there are many variants involved to be printed on a standard generic logo label, then a cost effective solution is to pre-print a generic label (that is common to all the variants) and overprint the variable information using a thermal transfer printer.

Label and Print Technologies has just replaced its reliable 7-inch 5-color MA flexo printer with a refurbished 10" Mark Andy 2200 flexo printer to accompany the company's flagship 10" Mark Andy Scout flexo printer.

This printing asset features six UV color print stations, which provide even more brilliant and ink fast colors to the labels printed!

The benefit it brings to the company lies not only in its excellent print quality history from the Mark Andy (MA) fold but also the following advantages:

Increased Production Capacity:
With these two printers, LPT can handle a higher volume of printing jobs simultaneously or in parallel, reducing lead times and meeting tighter deadlines.

Redundancy and Backup:
If one printer experiences downtime due to maintenance, repairs, or other issues, the second printer can continue production, ensuring minimal disruption to workflow and fulfilling customer orders without delays.

Flexibility and Versatility:
Two printers provide greater flexibility in scheduling jobs, allowing LPT to prioritize urgent orders or accommodate fluctuating demands without overburdening a single machine.

Risk Mitigation:
By spreading production across two machines, LPT reduces the risk of a single point of failure affecting the entire printing operation. This helps mitigate the impact of unexpected breakdowns or technical issues.

Efficiency and Optimization:
LPT can optimize production by allocating specific jobs to each printer based on factors such as job size, substrate type, or printing requirements. This can lead to improved overall efficiency and resource utilization.

Diversification of Services:
Having two printers enables LPT to offer additional services or capabilities to customers, such as specialty printing techniques, faster turnaround times, or increased capacity for large-scale projects.

Summary:
With the above positive features in mind, we look forward to further improving our focus on providing you with quality label solutions that will match or exceed your expectations.
