Materials
Our paper labels are made from the highest quality materials that not only look attractive, but also ensure durability and technical reliability.
- Metallised Label Paper - Ideal for creating a luxurious and exclusive look. The intense gloss combined with offset printing helps to highlight the brand and attracts attention on the shelves.
- Non-metallised Label Paper - ensures high print quality and durability. It is particularly suitable for the beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks industries as it meets all technical requirements.
- Moisture and temperature resistance - our labels retain their quality and shape perfectly even under extreme conditions (e.g. refrigeration, logistics or condensation). Labels remain bright and robust throughout the supply chain, ensuring long-term reliability.
- Special Effects - In addition to metallic and textured papers, we use a variety of special effects such as metallic inks, UV partial gloss varnishes and thermochromic inks, which change colour depending on the temperature of the drink. This allows us to create even more distinctive and intriguing products that attract the consumer's attention.
