Labelling & Packaging

Contract Labelling & Final Packaging

The professional finish your brand deserves. Crooked labels, bubbles, or poor batch codes can undermine premium positioning - We combine accurate application with coding and sealing options so packs leave retail-ready.

Design & Compliance Support

One of the biggest delays in contract packing is label artwork that is beautiful but not buildable for high-speed application. We offer in-house design support so branding is both striking and mechanically correct for our lines.

  • Technical templates - Artwork built for our applicator sensors, including gap, bleed, and roll-wind direction for reliable runs.
  • Regulatory compliance support - Batch code placement, weight declarations, allergen emphasis for food where applicable, and CLP-oriented guidance for chemicals and fragrance (your legal advisers remain responsible for final claims).
  • Material expertise - From clear “no-label look” films to moisture-resistant industrial vinyls and premium papers for retail packs.
  • Prototyping - Digital mockups on your chosen bottle profile before we commit to a full print run.

High-Accuracy Bottle Labelling

We run cylindrical labelling on professional equipment (for example Afinia-class bottle labellers), tuned for consistent tension and alignment - Always qualified against your samples on RFQ.

  • Bubble-free application - Media sensing and tension control for a clean finish on glass, plastic, or metal.
  • Versatile container sizes - From small fragrance cylinders through to larger industrial cans, within agreed mechanical limits.
  • Wrap-around or dual-sided - Front/back or full wrap applications with millimetre-level alignment targets.

Industrial Batch Coding & Traceability

Traceability is both compliance and trust. We integrate continuous inkjet (CIJ) coding into finishing so permanent data is crisp and readable on every unit within agreed layouts.

  • Batch & Lot numbering - Traceability and recall readiness.
  • Expiry & Best-before dating - Printed on bottle, jar, or label as agreed.
  • Multi-surface printing - Inks formulated for common packaging substrates used in your category.

Induction Heat Sealing

For e-commerce and industrial shipping, leak prevention matters. Where packs and caps are compatible, induction foil sealing can add a hermetic, tamper-evident closure under the cap.

  • Hermetic sealing - Foil induction creates a leak-resistant barrier under the cap where the pack and cap design allow.
  • Tamper evidence - Supports consumer confidence, especially for e-commerce and retail channels.

End-to-End Packaging Solutions

We do not stop at the bottle - We support kitting steps that get your product ready for the pallet and the courier.

  • Outer case packing - Bottles secured into outers for transport.
  • Palletising - Stacked, wrapped pallets ready for your carrier or ours.
  • Small-batch flexibility - The same technical care for limited runs and ongoing contracts.
