Materials used to make self adhesive labels

 
whisky labels picture from mercian labels Self Adhesive Label Printing

There is a very wide range of self adhesive label materials to choose from which can broadly be divided into paper, plastic, fabric and different metallic types.

If you are looking to see if the material you want is available from a UK label printer, then you can contact us by email or phone to be sent our complete material list.

 
Do you want cost effective stock materials or exact pantone matches?

Many label applications require coloured inks to be printed on white base materials. However, if you want a coloured background, then there are 2 ways to achieve this:

If you are looking for an exact colour match, then we will colourwash basic white material to your chosen colour. This is a very high quality process, but is sometimes not cost effective for small runs. As a specialist short run label printer, we therefore offer an alternative.

A more common alternative is to use one of our standard material colours. These are listed below. In addition, our standard foil colours are also listed below that are used exclusively in the hotfoil printing process.

Please note that we cannot communicate exact material colours on a website due to the way computer screens display colour, but these are the closest approximations we can display and are sufficient for most purposes.
