Pharmaceutical Labels
Pharmaceutical labeling requirements are stricter than those for other products. In fact, pharmaceutical products require extra steps administered to ensure consumers get the right information. The label must remain in place on the container and be legible across its lifespan, including distribution, storage and use.
This will mean producing labels that have strong adhesive strength and are resistant to a number of extreme environments including water, UV light and cryogenic temperatures.
We can provide accurate serial numbering, barcoding and tamper evidence mechanisms to labels.

Bar Code & Asset Labelling
Bar codes are almost standard on most product labels. QR codes and bar codes can be created in-house. Standard static codes plus full variable, consecutive and random are all possible.
Asset labels can be personalised with business or organisations name, logo and sequential numbering/barcode and then applied to your property, equipment or fixed assets.

Environmentally Friendly Labels
We are frequently asked for advice and guidance on producing environmentally friendly labels.
Customers, producers, brand owners and consumers all have a different understanding of what they think they are asking for when they want their labels to be more environmentally friendly.
The first thing to do is clearly identify what they really want to achieve and if they understand the options available for their product.
A label usually becomes an integral part of the product to which it is applied. It is therefore important that both the packaging design and choice of label materials are compatible with what they are trying to achieve.

Digital Printing
The HP Indigo WS6900 Digital Press is the market-leading narrow-web printing solution for digital labels and packaging production, delivering high productivity, wide versatility, and intelligent colour automation. At Bakers we now have 3 of them running side by side to provide new capabilities. The presses use the indichrome system, which is orange, violet and green as well as the conventional four colours CMYK; this gives a wider gamut of colour when reproducing pantone colours. The press also has a white channel for clear substrates but we can also add spot colours and specials such as fluorescent pink, silver or invisible blue and yellow. There is also a new metallic series of inks that will open new applications. The 6900s offer pioneering SmartStream Mosaic and Collage software allowing every label imagery to be unique − a commercial capability that our customers will truly be able to benefit from. In addition it facilitates synchronisation across all digital processes enabling greater consistency through small, medium and large print runs. The multi-threaded RIP reduces lead times whilst increasing productivity.
Flexo Printing
Nilpeter FB-3
The printer of choice for larger runs and for complex multi-layer, multi pass constructions. Featuring a rail system which contains De-Lam/Re-Lam, turner bar, 4 towers for over-laminating substrates and a crossover unit. We have also installed a servo re-insertion unit with web guide and a corona plus a rotary screen unit for embellishments, fluorescents etc.
The dual axis servo transport system ensures that the FB-3 will continuously deliver the highest level of print reproduction as well as unparalleled registration performance.
We’ve also installed a new rotary screen unit − the first one to be fitted to a FB3 Nilpeter. The main plan for the Stork unit is for re-registering work from the digitals to give high build and tactile effects but there are also opportunities to do more specialist work.

Rewinders
We use both the HSR330 Rewinder and the Omega SRI Rewinder − the new generation of label converting and finishing with rewinding speeds of up to 350m/min. Fully integrated FleyeVision 100% inspection control with screen operation, connected with an integrated work flow for waste management. The SRI range uses the latest servo drive technology combined with PC/SPS based control resulting in a new level of sophistication to meet today’s ever increasing demands. In February 2018 we also installed an Auto Set Vectra SGTR glueless turret rewinder from AB Graphics.The Vectra SGTR holds the substrate to the cores at the start of a new roll without stopping or slowing down the converting equipment. In addition, it is fitted with a print and apply label applicator to close the finished roll with a label. Quick, fast and clean, it is especially suitable for rewinding labels which have been printed on heat sensitive substrates, or using heat sensitive inks, finishes or decorations.
HP Smartstream Mosaic & Collage
Similar to variable data printing, but on a whole new level. Rather than using a database to swap out variable text and images, HP Smartstream Mosaic and Collage transforms artwork randomly. The result? Every single label can be unique. Using one or many vector PDF files or “seed files”, the software generates a large number of file variations by scaling, rotating, and transposing the images. This creates variable image assets which are then printed on one of our HP Indigo digital presses.
Truepress Jet L350 UV & L350 UV+LM Inkjet Digital Presses
The Screen inkjet presses complement the Indigos. They are faster, with excellent up-time and eat the work, with a very good white for clear and silver stocks. High pigmented colours with a combination of advanced print heads & screening can produce smoother gradations resulting in truly stunning photo quality detail that’s up to 600 dpi at a top speed of 50m p/m or 30m p/m with white. The L350UV+LM offers an increased colour gamut including orange ink along with the C, M, Y, K set and white ink. Orange ink enables richer reproduction of vivid colours, adding to the visual appeal of fruits and other foods.
Ideal for top quality high scuff resistant products on multiple substrates with possible savings on over-laminates or even varnishing. We have introduced fully variable capability on the machine, now able to print complex multi-page PDFs. The UV cured ink has a much higher build than the Indigo with the result being more of a screen label look than litho with very wide colour gamut, giving a high gloss, durable and lightfast result with great scratch resistance. In addition, the L350 UV+LM has an incredibly stable transport mechanism that tightly controls paper feeding to maintain optimal transfer conditions. This precision is essential for producing detailed dot codes such as QR and barcodes, as well as any other security printing requiring a high level of accuracy.
