Creating Top Shelf-Appeal for Brands with Food, Beer, Beverage and Nutraceutical Custom Labels

Brand owners, across many industries, seek differentiation as well as speed to market.  Consumers expect appealing yet food safe packaging they trust.
 

In this webinar, you’ll learn from Gary Moody of Premier Markings as to how he works with his brand customers in meeting the needs of consumers.
 

Premier Markings is a manufacturer of top quality digitally printed labels and recently added flexible packaging pouches to their offering.
 

Digital printing enables Premier Markings to provide fantastic quality labels and pouches with small quantities and no press plate costs enabling quick and cost effective runs to meet demand.

Just about everything can be digitally printed at a lower cost to you!
 

If your work requires multiple colors and you’re starting out with low quantities or have many variations of the same label, then digital printing can save you money and still have a great looking output.
 

There are many advantages of digital printed labels and flexible pouches but number one is the quality. In years past, the only way to achieve this litho type quality was to print litho. The problem with litho is if you require or prefer a roll format that is not possible. As well die cutting, scoring and any other process is done secondary, which leads to increase in production, time and price.

Tune in to this webinar to learn:

• Learn how Premier Markings works with their customers to achieve high marks in customer satisfaction.

• Gain insights on how Gary and his team go beyond just print by offering value-added specialty labels and flexible pouches.
• Hear about Premier Markings turnkey output processes to best serve its customers

Flat Release – The Secret to Improved Label Converting

Labels have become a ubiquitous product as every generated good requires some form of identification from providing product information to ensuring proper receipt from deliveries.  Label usage continues to grow.  This demand must be delivered by those supporting the label production process.  

Substrates coated with the proper silicone can generate a release liner that provides the answer to a converter’s need for faster speed.  Having a stable release profile from process start-up through full run speeds, accounting for varying needs across end use applications, is critical for ensuring uninterrupted workflow.  Achieving flat release imparts consistency that allows for faster run times, increased throughput, and satisfies new demand on label converters.             

During this webinar, our team of experts will focus on understanding label construction, the label conversion process, and silicone solutions for those potential conversion problems.

Meeting the Challenges of Diecutting New Thinner Liners

Thursday, April 15, 2021 / 2:00 PM EST

New thinner film and paper liners are becoming more popular and may offer advantages to the converter, include cost savings, an increased number of labels on a specific size roll, and weight reduction.   

Whether you’re considering a thin 92 gauge or thinner filmic carrier, or a hard, dense Hi-impact liner, converters may run into similar challenges. We will discuss these challenges and the solutions in this webinar, including: 

• How are the changes in Packaging playing a part in thinner liner product interest?
• Anvil roll condition and the importance of it
• Press maintenance and the important role it contributes
• What effects do press components play in success?
• Heat and thermal expansion concerns
• Ideas to implement to increase productivity and success
• Maxcess solutions to increase output, including RotoRepelTM Adhesive Control

Inkjet Advantage: Automated Performance

WATCH NOW ON DEMAND

Inkjet technology is relatively straightforward and lends itself to automation. Many of the required functions of the press which were previously controlled by manual and mechanical actions are electronically monitored and necessary adjustments made with a robotic controller.

This means for the label convertor accurate registration resulting in repeatable colors and fine resolution text, high throughput with volumes of more than 1 million square foot/ month and less labor input for running and maintaining the press.
