Ink Choices

Most of the labels can be printed in up to six colors per label. We offer 24 standard ink colors plus varnish on most labels which you can specify by using our ink numbers. We can also match to any sample for a charge per color, per order.

Label Shapes & Sizes

Die-cut labels are available in all the standard shapes and sizes shown in this site plus hundreds more. We can also create a custom die shape to your specifications for an additional charge. Butt-cut(square-cornered) labels are available in virtually any size from ¼" x ¼" to 6 ½" x 15". Ask for details.

Proofing

Choose from one of four options, but please note that requesting a proof will extend total production time. Actual proof time depends on type of label product and type of proof. Changes may result in additional charges. Please see Terms below.

Black-and-white proofs
For quickest turnaround, we will fax the proof unless you indicate otherwise. These paper proofs are $15.

Thermal color proofs
These proofs provide a color representation of your label. Please note the colors will not match the final printed product. Thermal color proofs are available for a charge.

High Resolution Proofs
These color proofs provide a high resolution representation of your label produced from the actual negatives and are ideal for use with 4-color process printing. Please note that there are a limited number of spot colors available with this proofing process. These proofs are available for a charge.

Press proofs
These are actual samples off the press. Press proofs are ideal where color, adhesive, suitability in printers and application machines, and overall appearance are critical. These proofs are available for a charge, per proof.

Special Production Options

Special options are available on most labels to increase their beauty, functionality, and durability;

Bleeds can be added, free of charge, on most die-cut labels. NOTE: Not available on butt-cut roll labels.

Reverses can be printed on almost any label except Fast Production Labels on sheets.

Lamination and protective coatings can be added to increase durability, prevent fingerprinting, and create a more vivid appearance. Labels can be consecutively numbered and laminated for applications such as parking decals (there are some restrictions; please ask). See the page on protective coatings for more information.

Consecutive numbering can be added to almost any label, with any start or stop number. Numbers will be imprinted in black ink on paper, vinyl and foil stock.

Foil stamping adds elegance to any label. Choose from 5 different foil colors, a wide variety of stocks and up to six ink colors per label.

Barcoding is available in five different symbologies on many label sizes and shapes.

Static UPC coding can be added to any label. There will be a charge added for every film original.

Backsheet Printing, where the back of the label's liner is printed with your message, is available on many labels. There will be a charge for set-up plus the stated charges for each additional ink color, up to a total of six colors per label- including the backsheet colors. Note: Colors on the back and front are printed separately, so separate charges apply even if the colors used are the same.
