Stock types are as follows:

e.g. A bronze stock is created from the metallic gold stock being coated with red/brown ink.

CMYK or process printing is generally used for printing of more than four colours. A photo or scenery is a good example.

Printing with Pantone colours is generally used for solid line work such as text and objects. We have the latest Pantone booklets for Solid Coated, Solid Uncoated, Pastels and Metallics.

We use KURZ foils, a world leading manufacturer.

The first and easiest is Blind embossing. This is exactly the same as foiling only without the foil ribbon and will leave and imprint or deboss of the shape or design in the stock. This works best with thick stocks.

The other uses a 'Male' plate with the shape or design and squashes the stock into its 'Female' counterpart to create a lifted emboss that stands out from the stock.

These single colour labels are perfect for applications such as a senders address on an envelope, covering up old information, product labelling, the options are endless!

Various label sizes and stocks are available as well as coloured and specialty ribbons. Please contact us to discuss options.

These printers also work with thermal papers, burning the image directly onto the paper eliminating the need for a ribbon.
