A self-adhesive label suite that makes you grow How digital makes quality flexible without compromises
Dealing with short run label printing and other fine challenges
So, your flexo press park might need expanding to deal with short run label printing, more complex orders and more demanding customers, because, well, you and your market are evolving. Or you might be venturing into new territory and see a big opportunity in self-adhesive label production - but only in a way that leaves plenty of room for creativity, flexibility and your growth path.
Then again, no self-adhesive label is the same
For pharma labels, you might need security features. For beverages, wine or spirits you may need to vary between beer bottle synthetic labels, natural paper wine bottle labels or arty spirits labels with gold details. For beauty brands, cosmetics and beauty labels would have to stand out in creativity and quality on shelves. Your food labels would need to be absolutely food-safe; and an industrial label has to meet industry-specific standards - think of durability, security and lightfastness.
Well, there's digital to pull this off.
And there's digital label printing the Xeikon way.
