Thermal Ribbon
Wax, wax-resin and resin ribbons slit to your printer's exact width and core.
Barcode Solutions
Blank and pre-printed label stock for barcode printing — on reels, in sheets, or punched and strung as tags.
Every barcode system starts with the label itself. We supply plain stock for you to overprint on your own thermal printer, and pre-printed stock carrying your logo, fixed text and colour panels with the variable barcode left clear. Facestock and adhesive are chosen for where the label actually lives — a chilled store, a dusty rack and an oily component each behave differently. Where there is nothing to stick a label to, the same artwork goes onto punched board tags instead.

Questions
Vellum and semi-gloss paper, PP, PET, polyimide, 250–400 gsm board. We specify the material against the job it actually has to do rather than supplying a single default — tell us the application and the conditions it will see, and we will confirm the build.
Permanent, freezer grade, high-tack, removable. The adhesive matters more than most buyers expect: a label that curls off a cold or oily surface is almost always an adhesive specified for the wrong job, not a printing fault.
Yes. Cutting tools are made on our own premises, so a custom die profile is a matter of days rather than a wait on an outside toolmaker. Send the dimensions, a drawing or a sample of the container and we will confirm the tooling and quote it.
Quantities are quoted per job rather than fixed, because the economics change with the size, the number of colours and the material. Tell us the run size you have in mind and we will tell you honestly whether it is viable and what it costs.
Print-ready PDF, AI, EPS or CDR with 3 mm bleed and fonts converted to outlines. If you do not have artwork we can set it from your logo and copy. Nothing goes to plate or die until you have approved a digital proof.
Send us the size, the material and the surface it goes on. We will quote with a lead time, and make a sample before you commit to a production run.
