Label Printing Options
Whether you’re printing product information, branding, warnings, or anything else on your plastic
labels, there are several printing options to choose from. We’ll help you decide which one is right for you based on your chosen label material, the number of colors you want to print, your budget, and more:
- Screen Printing. This process involves applying a mesh pattern over the substrate and then pressing ink onto the substrate to create an image or text. With in-house capabilities including solvent, water-based, epoxy, UV, and enamel ink systems, we can accommodate all types of shapes, textures, and print sizes for custom labels.
- Digital Printing. Cost-effective and reliable, digital printing allows for crisp text and
vibrant colors. Digital printing is the way to go if you want to print photo-quality
images—we can achieve up to 2,880 DPI resolution for special projects, using both solvent and UV systems - Roll Labeling. Using dedicated inkjet roll printers, transfer printers, and direct thermal
printers, we can create full-color roll labels, compatible with a variety of dispensers, in all
shapes and sizes.
In addition to these options, Specialty Printing & Processing also offers direct printing on products as an alternative to custom plastic labels.
