What type of
printing do you
do?
We
do up to 10 color pressure-sensitive flexography, as well as both
inline and offline hot foil
stamping and embossing. We also have a laserweb, which can cut
intricate designs in the label that
a normal diecut couldn't do.
When can I
expect to receive a label quote?
Under normal circumstances we can get you a
quote within 24 hrs.
You may want to use our quote request
link to expedite this process.
Is there a
minimum order?
5,000 labels is our preferred targeted
minimum in order for us to maintain cost effectiveness. If your label
order dictates that digital
printing is best suited to your parameters, a lower quantity of 1,000
would be our targeted
minimum.
How much are
your
labels?
Since there are many factors which will
contribute to the price of a label, we
encourage you to call us directly to discuss the particulars of your
project, or use our
quote request link to
get
started.
How and when
will I receive
proofs?
Typically, we can generate a proof in 24 to
48 hours. If we cannot meet those
deadlines, we will contact you and provide an explanation. You may
receive your proofs in a number
of ways: Black and White faxable, Color Laser (sent via overnight
delivery service), electronically
as a pdf file, or a high-resolution IRIS print to show cmyk accuracy.
What is my
order turnaround time?
From proof approval,
turn times are as follows:
- New Re-Register (offline foil
and/or emboss): 25 days
- New Inline foil and/or emboss:
20 days
- New (no foil or emboss): 18
days
- Repeat Inline foil and/or
emboss: 15 days
- Repeat (no foil and/or emboss):
12 days
At what line
screen do you
print?
Our standard line screen is 175. However, we
have successfully printed at 200 and
plan to test up to 250 soon.
How should I
prepare my art?
We work on Mac platform, and can accept
Illustrator (preferred), Photoshop,
Freehand, and QuarkXPress files up to the most recent versions. You may
email files, upload them to
us, or send us a CD or a DVD by mail. We encourage you to visit our Art
Submission link for more detailed
information on how to set up and send your files.
Can I be
present for a press check?
Absolutely! In fact, it is recommended
that you press check a label that we have never printed before. This
will ensure that your label is
printed exactly as you envisioned it, and provides the correct basis
for color accuracy for repeat
runs in the future.
What is the
best stock for
my label to be printed on?
Please contact
us directly so that we may assist you in
selecting the best type of stock which will
complement your design and product usage.
I only need
some minor changes. Can you make those there?
Yes! In fact, we believe
that it is the best way for any changes to be made to your project, as
it protects the integrity of
the rest of the label art. We also have the capabilities of assisting
you in the design process of
a new label also. Our expertise in printing, coupled with design
talents, lends itself to a
superior label best suited to your product.
Can
I add foil and embossing to my label?
Of course. There are two methods for each:
inline and offline.
Depending on the quantity and frequency of tooling usage, your sales
rep will recommend the best
method. Inline foil and embossing tends to be more expensive, but with
larger, more frequent runs,
will save money in the long run. The offline method is the most popular
due to its low cost, and is
best suited to shorter, single runs.
Will my label
size require a new die to be purchased or do you have a list of
stock dies from which I can choose?
Our dies are available for you to use, but
because most of the
dies in our inventory are custom-made for a specific clientÕs needs,
they may not be suited
to your project. It is recommended that you speak with one our sales
representatives who will
assist you with your die selection.
What are
your registration tolerances?
Our overall tolerances are approximately +/-
10/1000 of an
inch. |
