Home / How we work
The wrong version of a design, an unreadable code or curling paper can mean a costly reprint, a complaint or downtime on the production line. That is why we prepare and produce sheet-fed wet-glue (WGL) labels according to a proven, 23-step procedure.
We check files, verify codes, control paper moisture and compare the material prepared for printing with the approved design. This helps you reduce the risk of errors, keep subsequent runs consistent and prepare labels to work on your line.
This reduces the risk of an error being repeated across the entire run, and the cost of reprinting.
We verify the materials we receive and send you a report with our comments. Corrections can be made by your designer or by our team. The finished PDF goes to you for approval, and before release to print we carry out an additional comparative check of the design against the production sheet.
You receive a documented inspection result that helps reduce the risk of scanning problems and complaints from your customers.
We verify the code while preparing the design, on the proof and during printing. A report assessing its quality is attached to the order.
Your team approves the look of the label before production, and we have a reference point for checking its consistency.
Before production we prepare a certified proof. It lets you assess the colors before the run starts. A twin proof serves the printer as a reference when setting up and controlling the print. When you change supplier, we match the colors to labels already on the market.
This helps reduce label curling, machine jams and material losses during labeling.
We select the stock and paper weight taking into account the requirements of your labeling machine. We check paper moisture before printing and on the finished labels. The run is protected with shrink film, limiting the effect of humidity during transport and storage.
When you reorder, we can refer to a specific version of the design and an earlier print. This makes it easier to order further batches and check their conformity.
Every design receives a unique identifier in our file naming system. For five years we keep a digital archive and physical samples of labels and sheets.
You can check the labels in real conditions and plan subsequent orders more efficiently.
Order free test labelsA dedicated account manager knows your order history and the arrangements for your labels. We coordinate deliveries with your production schedule. For the first order we can start with a smaller batch, which you test on your own line before ordering the full run.
From verifying materials to archiving finished designs, every step has a defined purpose. Below we show how your order is carried out.
