Printing Processes

Flexographic

All of our presses are roll to roll modular based, facilitating extremely quick set up times. "De-Lam Re-Lam" is also a standard feature enabling the printing of information on the adhesive side of the label, together with the capability of printing on to the reverse of the liner, eg. registration marks. TPL can produce up to 6 colour work, including the option to varnish on UV or Water based inks. Each press has 3 cutter stations which allow diecutting, sprocketing, perforating and sheeting.

Hot Foil

Hot-foiling uses "Foils" to print instead of inks, Heat in excess of 120°C is required for 'stamping' from print head to foil, thus releasing the pigments within the foil onto the required substrate. This process is used most commonly in low volume work and can print up to four colours at any one time.

Thermal Transfer

Thermal Transfer is very similar to Hot foiling, but is restricted to the production of overprint labels only. This process is most commonly used for applications requiring, barcoding, sequential numbering and variable information. Like Hot Foil it is also suitable for short run work.
