What It's Made Of: Three Layers, Three Functions

Top Layer
Face Material

The surface that gets printed and what the customer sees on the shelf. It determines the label's appearance, resistance, and durability.

Paper: cost-efficiency, FSC option PP synthetic: moisture, refrigeration PET: chemicals, UV, durability Film: metallic, premium
Middle Layer
Adhesive

Invisible but critical. It determines what the label sticks to, how long it holds, and whether it can be removed.

Permanent: long-term bonding Removable: promotions, pricing For the cold chain: down to -40°C Wash-off: for packaging recycling
Bottom Layer
Liner (Backing)

A protective silicone backing that holds the label until the moment of application. It's separated at the labeling machine and sent for recycling.

Glassine liner: standard PET liner: machine stability We separate and recycle the liner

01Product

A Label That Declares the Finished Product on the Shelf and Speaks Directly to the Consumer

By an industrial printed label, we mean any self-adhesive label in roll form used to mark or declare a finished product entering the open market. These are products that communicate directly with consumers, so print quality and the faithful, real-world execution of the designer's concept are extremely important.

For mass-consumption products, this usually means large production runs where the print must be flawless and consistent: from the first label in the roll to the last, and from the first production run of the year to the last.

Industrial self-adhesive labels on finished products
Flexo printing in up to 9 colors in a single passCMYK process colors, Pantone spot colors, white underprint on transparent material, and UV protective coating, all in a single pass through the machine. MPS EF 340 and EF 330 lines with Crisp.Dot HD technology for detail and fine-text sharpness that approaches offset quality.
Roll-to-roll production for machine applicationLabels are delivered in roll form, ready for automatic application on the customer's line. The core, unwind direction, roll diameter, and label spacing are matched to the specific labeling machine, so the line operator just loads the roll and the machine does the work.
Consistency across large production runsThe iControl system automatically monitors color register throughout the entire run. There's no gradual quality drift: the last label in the roll looks identical to the first. For repeat orders, all parameters are stored in the ERP system and reproduced exactly.
Web width up to 340 mmThe MPS EF 340 machines print on a web up to 340 mm wide, which covers the vast majority of industrial label formats: from small cosmetics labels to large declarations for canisters. Multiple labels are arranged across the web for maximum material efficiency.
02Materials

Material and Adhesive Determine Where a Label Can Live, and for How Long

The choice of material isn't an aesthetic decision, it's a technical one that depends on the packaging the label sticks to, the environment the product lives in (cold, damp, chemically aggressive), and how the label is applied. We work with materials from leading European manufacturers that cover the full spectrum of applications.

Materials for self-adhesive labels: paper, synthetic, film
Paper materialsThe most common choice for the food industry and dry environments. Matte and gloss papers, coated and uncoated. FSC™-certified papers available for customers for whom origin traceability matters. Good printability and cost-efficiency for large runs.
Synthetic materials (PP, PE, PET)Resistant to moisture, chemicals, oils, and mechanical damage. Polypropylene (PP) for standard moisture resistance, polyethylene (PE) for flexible packaging, polyester (PET) for maximum durability and chemical resistance. Transparent variants for a no-label look.
Metallized and film materialsFor a premium look: silver and gold metallized surfaces combined with printing for a luxury effect. Used in cosmetics, alcoholic beverages, and premium food products, where the label has to convey high value on the shelf.
Adhesives: permanent, removable, specialtyPermanent adhesive for long-term application. Removable adhesive for promotional labels. Cold-chain adhesives that hold at temperatures down to -40°C. Adhesives for damp surfaces. Recycling adhesives: wash-off variants that release during the packaging washing process. Choosing the adhesive is just as important as choosing the material.
Suppliers: certified European manufacturersRaflatac (Finland), Fasson (Germany), Tores (Spain), and Intercoat (Germany). Each of these manufacturers holds its own environmental certifications and complies with EU regulations for materials in contact with food (EC 1935/2004).
03Finishing

Finishing Turns a Label From Information Into an Experience on the Shelf

Printing provides color and information. Finishing provides texture, shine, depth, and a tactile experience. UV coating protects the print and gives it a gloss or matte effect. Foil adds metallic accents. Embossing creates a three-dimensional quality the consumer can feel with their fingers. All of this is done in one or two passes through the machine.

Label finishing: UV coating, foil, embossing
UV protective coating: gloss and matteGloss UV coating intensifies colors and gives the label a premium look. Matte UV coating gives it subtle elegance and a soft-touch feel. Selective (spot) coating combines both effects on the same label, for example a glossy logo on a matte background. UV coating cures instantly under a UV lamp, so it doesn't slow production.
Hot foil and cold foil: metallic effectsHot foil transfers metallic foil onto the label using a heated die: gold, silver, hologram, copper. Cold foil uses a UV adhesive and requires no heating, so it's faster and suited to larger runs. Both processes produce metallic accents that are visible even from a distance, which matters on the shelf.
Embossing die: embossing and debossingThe Frankini DIE ROLL DMR machine presses a three-dimensional relief into the label material. Embossing (raised relief) highlights a logo or key element. Debossing (recessed relief) gives subtle elegance. This effect is felt with the fingers, a form of tactile communication that printing alone can't achieve. Required for tactile markings in the chemical industry (EU CLP regulation).
Die-cutting: a custom label shapeRotary die-cutting on the machine cuts the label into any shape: rectangle, oval, circle, or an irregular shape following the design's contour. Die precision is critical for machine application, because if the die isn't accurate, the labeling machine won't separate it properly from the liner, and the line stalls.
Combined effects in a single passMPS machines make it possible to combine printing, coating, foiling, and die-cutting in a single pass. That means a label with 6 colors, selective coating, and a cold foil accent comes out finished with no additional operations: shorter production time, lower costs, and consistent register across all operations.
04Application

A Label Isn't Finished Until It's on the Product, and the Roll Format Has to Match Your Line

The most beautiful label in the world is useless if it can't be applied on the customer's line without stoppages. That's why the delivery format matters just as much as print quality: the core, roll diameter, unwind direction, label spacing, and sensor mark position all have to match the specific labeling machine on your production line.

Machine application of labels on the customer's production line
Cores: 40 mm, 76 mm, or to your specificationStandard cores are 40 mm (1.5") for smaller labeling machines and 76 mm (3") for industrial lines. We can deliver on whatever core your labeling machine requires. From our own core inventory, we don't order them per job, so there's no waiting.
Unwind directionLabels can unwind from the roll in different directions, depending on the type and orientation of your labeling machine. Tell us the direction, or send us a photo of your existing roll and a label sample, and we'll match the delivery to your equipment.
Roll diameter and label countThe maximum roll diameter depends on your labeling machine's capacity. A larger roll means fewer changeovers on the line and less downtime. Tell us the maximum diameter your equipment can take, and we'll adjust the number of labels per roll for maximum efficiency on your line.
Sensor marks and spacingAutomatic labeling machines use optical sensors to position the label on the product. The sensor mark (black mark or gap detection) has to be positioned correctly so the machine knows exactly where one label ends and the next begins. Label spacing is adjusted to match the speed of your line.
Trial roll before the production runFor new customers or new formats, we recommend a trial roll before releasing the full production run. The trial roll is tested on your labeling machine: you check the application, positioning, sensor, and liner separation. Only once the trial roll is confirmed do we start full production.

Flexo printing is cost-effective for medium and large production runs. The minimum quantity depends on the label's dimensions and number of colors, since a smaller label with fewer colors has a lower minimum. Contact us with your specific requirements (dimensions, material, number of colors, approximate quantity) and you'll get an exact quote within 24 hours. For small batches below the economical minimum, we'll discuss the options openly.

Ideally: a design file in vector format (AI, EPS, PDF), the label dimensions, the material you want (or a description of the product and packaging, and we'll recommend one), an approximate quantity, the core and unwind direction, and your desired delivery time. If you don't have all of this information, send us what you have. Even if all you have is an idea and nothing more, reach out and we'll help you define the specification step by step. You'll get a quote within 24 hours.

As a rule, it costs less. Prepress preparation is no longer needed, since all files, separations, and parameters are stored in our ERP system. For the same design and the same quantity, a repeat order costs less and has a shorter lead time, because you skip preparation, proof approval, and tooling all over again. If you want a small correction to an existing design (a text change, a barcode, an expiration date), we start from the saved file, not from scratch.

It depends on three things: what the label sticks to (glass, plastic, cardboard, metal, an uneven surface), the environment the product lives in (dry, damp, cold, chemically aggressive, exposed to UV), and how the label is applied (by hand or by machine on a fast line). Paper for dry environments and cost-efficiency. PP synthetic for moisture. PET for chemical resistance and durability. Tell us what your product is and where it ends up, and we'll recommend the optimal material and adhesive with no obligation.

Yes. We hold an FSC™ Chain of Custody certificate (BV-COC-221179, Bureau Veritas, valid through October 2030) that covers the purchase and sale of FSC Mix and FSC Recycled materials. If you need the FSC mark on the label for your customer or for the EU market, mention it in your inquiry and we'll deliver the labels with an FSC declaration on the shipping documentation, which entitles you to use the FSC mark on your product.

Up to 9 colors in a single pass, which includes CMYK process colors, Pantone spot colors, a white underprint on transparent material, and UV protective coating. In practice, most industrial labels use 5–7 separations. If your design requires more than 9, contact us for a consultation, since it's often possible to optimize the number of separations without losing visual quality.

Yes. Rotary die-cutting on the machine cuts the label into any shape: rectangle, oval, circle, or a completely irregular shape following your design's contour. For standard shapes, we use existing dies from our tooling library; for non-standard shapes, we make a new die to your specification. The cost of a new die is one-time, and for repeat orders we use the same die at no additional cost.

All finishing is done on the machine, most of it in the same pass as printing. UV coating (gloss, matte, or selective) doesn't slow production down and doesn't add significantly to the cost. Hot foil and cold foil add metallic accents: gold, silver, hologram. Embossing (embossing/debossing) is done on the Frankini DMR machine and adds a tactile dimension. For the chemical industry, tactile markings are a regulatory requirement (EU CLP). Mention the finishing you need in your inquiry and we'll include it in the quote with an exact price.

For repeat orders with saved parameters, the standard lead time is 5–7 business days from order confirmation. For new designs that require prepress preparation and proof approval, add 2–3 business days. For urgent orders, call us (+381 32 720 120) and we'll arrange priority production if capacity allows. We plan delivery in advance through our ERP system, so transport is scheduled before the labels come off the machine.

Tell us the type of labeling machine, the core (most often 40 mm or 76 mm), the maximum roll diameter, and the unwind direction. If you're not sure about these parameters, send us a photo of your existing roll and your labeling machine, and we'll work out the specification. For new customers or new formats, we recommend a trial roll before the full production run, so you can test the application on your line, and only once you confirm everything works without stoppages do we start full production.
