Finishes (colours and varnishes)

Our state-of-the-art Heidelberg print presses allow us to print labels with up to seven colours...

…with finishes and varnishes including spot UV, foil blocking, embossing, metallic papers and gloss and matt finishes. We can also add security details and duty declarations with special inks and coatings.

Our repro and pre-press facilities are on site, meaning every one of our jobs is characterised by colour consistency, rigorous quality control and attention to detail.

Label shapes and cutting

The Tipografic factory boasts four automated Polar finishing lines, with two square cut and two punch finishes.

We also have a Lombardi label punch, giving us the capacity to print large and over-sized labels, with a maximum punch size of 360 x 360mm.

All of our finishing machines are designed to get the most out of each sheet, making your job more cost effective, and environmentally responsible: we currently recycle 100% of our factory waste.

Fully Automated Litho Packing Inspection Units

Complementing our automated finishing lines, we have two camera driven fully automated inspection units which check each pack of litho labels for accuracy. They will reject any packs which do not match the specified standards giving you the ultimate reassurance that every stack and pack of labels is 100% accurate and labelled correctly.

Gift and phonecards

Tipografic prints a range of base cards for both the phone and gift markets, using a choice of durable materials ranging from board, PVC or polyester materials, from 240 to 800 micron.

Gift and phone cards can be printed in up to six colours, with spot UV, all over UV or laminated finishes.

Colour mixing and spectrometry

Many of the colours used at Tipografic are blended on site, in our ink laboratory.

On press, wet glue label jobs are controlled by our spectrophotometric colour management system for brand accuracy and outstanding printing, while our flexo-printing is controlled by Windmöller and Hölscher’s Easy-Col system – the first in the UK.

Tipografic also offers fixed colour palette printing for both wet glue and reel-fed production.

Marketing innovations

Printing labels has changed a lot since we started. So we’re the first to make sure we can offer clients the latest marketing innovations and technology.

Techniques include everything from inline perforation and unique numbering to peelable labels, instant wins, scratch-off boxes and random collation – perfect for giveaways, competitions and special offers. And, of course, we provide special inks for printing HMRC Excise Duty declaration marks.

Quality standards

Tipografic invests in the training and ongoing professional development of all of its staff members...

…and holds International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) certificates in both Quality Assurance (ISO9001) and Print Colour Management (ISO12647-2), plus the BRS/ IoP Global Standard for Packaging and Packaging Materials (Category 1).
