Silkscreen
Silkscreen is a solution which allows a large amount of ink to be applied to a specific place. Thanks to this, selected elements of the print can be highlighted (such as a logo, or a small single text), and a thicker layer of ink is easily felt by the fingers, giving the labels a very elegant 3-D effect.
This technology also allows text to be added in Braille.
Silkscreen is widely used in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and domestic chemical product industries.
How we work
he label production process usually consists of the following stages:
1. Gathering informatio
In conversations with the client, we aim to gather as much information as possible about the labels.
We are interested in more than just the basic details and sizes, order amounts and colours – we want to know estimated annual usage, the purpose of the labels, durability requirements in atypical conditions, and so on. This information lets us make the best possible offer, matched to the client’s needs perfectly.
2. Design preparation
We offer label design services, and our graphics studio can develop a concept from the ground up and adapt the materials provided by the clients to flexo technology and the profiles of the machinery we use.
Precise guidelines for preparing graphic materials are available in the “Technical requirements – print preparation” section. The prepared design is sent for approval in PDF format, and if necessary by courier as a digital proof.
3. Label productio
Photopolymers are placed on the printing machines and the printing process begins. The first print run of a given design can be conducted with the client present, who may approve the design based on their own materials and estimation.
The paints which we use in the printing process are UV hardened, making high line counts possible Finally, finishing is applied according to the client’s instructions.
