Hot Foil Printing <\/h2>\n <\/header>\n\n
\n

Hot Foil printing is the process of using heat and pressure to apply coloured foils to materials such as paper, vinyl, polyprop & polyester etc. Adhesive backed rolls of material are fed through a printing press & follow a sequence of operations \u2013 Print is applied using an upward\/downward print ram with the heat releasing the colours on to the label stock \u2013 Material is then over laminated (if required) to create a durable finish totally over protecting the whole label from rubbing, cleaning & solvents \u2013 The label then passes through an upward\/downward cut ram where the label is cut to size \u2013 The waste is then stripped from round the label with the finished labels wound on to rolls.<\/p>\n <\/article>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \n\n \n

Flexo Printing <\/h2>\n
\n

Material is fed into the press from a large roll. The image is printed on the substrate as it is pulled through a series of stations, or print units. Each station prints a single ink colour. The various tones and shading are achieved by overlaying the 4 basic shades of ink – Magenta, Cyan, Yellow and Black.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n \n\n \n

Thermal Transfer Printing <\/h2>\n <\/header>\n\n
\n

Thermal transfer printing is a digital printing process in which an image\/text\/barcode is applied to paper, vinyl & polyester etc by melting a coating of ribbon that stays glued to the material on which the print is applied. This process allows a label to contain variable data such as sequential barcode\/Asset No.<\/p>\n

It contrasts with direct thermal printing where no ribbon is present.<\/p>\n <\/article>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/section>\n ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":19,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-6106","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAbout Our Printing Processes -
