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.
