A label printer
can produce custom self adhesive labels for short
runs at impressive prices. There are different
types of label printers for different types of
label printing processes.
A digital label printer
allows for the customer to change their design
each time that they order if required, without
any extra origination charges for a printing plate.
This is an ideal solution for companies that need
to alter their designs.
Hotfoil label printers
can manufacture self adhesive hotfoil labels in
a variety of sizes, shapes and colours and onto
many different materials. The label printer can
economically produce high quality labels with
up to 6 spot colours with a range of effects,
such as holographic and metallic. The hotfoil
label printer is popular for use, as it can frequently
be used by major brands to advertise their products,
however it is equally cost effective for short
run label printing.
A microembossed
label printer can produce microembossed self
adhesive labels. Microembossing creates a textured
finish to the label, as it is raised in certain
areas. There is an innovative type of microembossing
print finish, which is applied using optically
variable label printing. Microembossed labels,
produced by a label printer can be used as a security
feature, to eliminate counterfeiting and fraudulent
use of company products, or at least make it much
more difficult.
A thermal transfer label
printer can produce self adhesive labels through
the application of heat and pressure. There are
two types of thermal label printer, a wax transfer
label printer and a direct thermal label printer.
A wax transfer label printer produces the design
impression by the application of pressure to melt
a wax-based ink. Once the wax is melted it is
transferred onto a ribbon in the label printer,
which is subsequently transferred onto the printing
material. A direct thermal
label printer perforates small marks onto
the printing material, by use of heat, to create
the design.
