FAQ
We have machines that can apply self adhesive labels (also called pressure sensitive labels) & shrink sleeves to decorate containers.
The other forms of decoration have limitations in the form of excessive cost of tooling & limitations in the no of colours possible.
Screen Printing: Excessive cost of tooling & limitations in the number of colours possible & the also limitations in the type of art work that can be printed.
Heat Transfer ( Also called Therimage Lablling): There is no manufacturer in Australia for this kind of labels any more. Cost of tooling is excessive. Not suitable for small run sizes.
In Mould Labelling: Can only be done while moulding the container. Makes the moulding tool very expensive.
Offset Printing: Excessive cost of tooling and limitations in the number of colours & type of artwork that can be printed.
At Beau-Pack we used to provide screen printing & heat transfer decoration as well but due to the above reasons have moved away form it.
Labels: We can label containers from as small as 10ml to as large as 20L.
Sleeves: We can apply sleeves to containers as small as 50ml & as large as 10L.
We can label any shape containers from round to square to oval. We have machines that apply labels to the side of containers as well as to the base & lids as well. We can also label tubes & conical containers.
Depending on the shape of the container we could decorate the whole surface of the container with a self adhesive label. If this is not possible, we can use a shrink sleeve to decorate this container.
Yes we can apply labels or sleeves to full containers as well.
Yes, besides labelling & sleeving we have a packaging section as well where we can pack containers into 2 packs (twin packs), 6 packs, 12 packs or any other form that is required. This can be done as an add on after we have labelled / sleeves the containers or as a separate service.
Yes, we are geared up to do small & large runs. We sometimes also do small trial runs before the job if needed to satisfy the customer & ourself that our machines are capable of doing the job.
No we don’t manufacture labels or sleeves, but we can guide you & recommend some label & sleeve printers depending on your requirement.
For us each job is different. We do a cost analysis for each job depending on the size & shape of the bottles & labels / sleeves, run size, machine to be used etc.
