Label Printing in Kolkata
Label Printing supplied into Kolkata, alongside the ranges that make up the bulk of our work there.
Label Printing for Kolkata
Demand in Kolkata is built on tea packing and export, jute and leather goods, engineering and food processing. Food processing draws on this range, though it sits alongside rather than ahead of the lines listed below. Label Printing are quoted per job for Kolkata rather than against a price break, so a smaller run is normal work there.
What decides the specification
With label printing the question is always artwork proofed and colour recorded, so a reorder matches the first run. Humidity is the constraint in Kolkata. Lamination keeps the print from going soft, and an adhesive rated to 45°C keeps the corner from lifting before the pack reaches a Kolkata shelf.
Most food work comes to us as a family of SKUs rather than one label, so the sensible economy is a common die and a shared base plate with only the variable panel changing.
When label printing are ordered from Kolkata they come against a seasonal pack calendar, the same way the rest of that trade buys. What already moves from our floor to Kolkata is tea carton and pouch labels and export shipper labels, so a label printing enquiry from Kolkata is normally priced and consolidated alongside those. It goes out by road — 1,500 km — and a humid destination is what the adhesive bond has to be specified against for Kolkata.

Questions
Label Printing in Kolkata — questions we are asked
Do you supply label printing in Kolkata?
Yes. Everything is manufactured at our own works in Rajouri Garden, New Delhi and despatched from there. Road, 1,500 km — 3 to 4 working days.
What do Kolkata customers use label printing for?
Food processing mainly. Tea carton and pouch labels, export shipper labels, leather goods branding, barcode media — this range covers the part of that list it applies to.
What is the lead time for label printing to Kolkata?
Road, 1,500 km — 3 to 4 working days. On top of that allow for proofing: label printing artwork for Kolkata is approved digitally before any plate or die is cut, and on a repeat Kolkata order that step drops away because the die is already on file.
How do Kolkata buyers usually order label printing?
Against a seasonal pack calendar, so the reorder is usually the same die with a new flavour panel — that is the pattern across most of our Kolkata work in this range. Tell us the quantity and the reorder interval and we will quote the die and the material once, then hold both on file for Kolkata repeats.
