Flexographic Printing
Digital Labels
Digital technology has allowed printing to evolve to the point where your designs can be printed directly onto the substrate without the need for printing plates or complicated set up.
Our Xeikon digital press offers the latest technology and most versatile printing solution available at Douglas Storrie Labels. (Read more here).
Your digital labels will be printed using the full-colour process: CMYK and printed in up to 1200dpi for high-quality images and text. This can be achieved on a variety of materials; perfect for testing out a new label design or creating sample labels for a new range or limited edition product. A range of laser approved, matte, semi-gloss and high-gloss materials can be made available, allowing us to match substrates to your specific label requirements.
Digital labels are quicker to produce than flexographic because it avoids the need for plates, set up, and washing down. Running directly from your artwork the only setup cost involved may be that of a new die cutter to trim the finished labels to size and shape - that is if we do not already own one to suit!
The Xeikons programme means sequential numbering and barcodes can be added to the artwork and printed at the same time.

Direct Thermal Label Printing
A direct thermal label is chemically treated and heat-sensitive, allowing it to darken under the thermal printhead to create your printed label. Direct thermal label printers do not require ink, toner, or ribbons. This makes thermal labels both durable and easy to use, while also being more cost-effective to produce compared to inkjet, laser, impact, and thermal transfer printers.
Tickets
Tickets are available with or without holograms, pre-numbering on the front or back, ultraviolet security inks, custom perforations, and nearly any other security feature you require. Direct Thermal tickets can be Eco or Top Coated, printed in 1 to 6 colours on both sides, and can also be multi-layered with a coloured middle layer. Additionally, they can be produced in unique shapes or customised to specific width and depth formats.

Printed A4 label sheets can be customised with any design or size, such as return address labels or company details.
