We offer a wide variety of label embellishments, designed to ensure your labels stand out on the shelf, catching the eyes of passers by.
Embossing
Embossing creates a raised effect on specific design elements, such as logos or patterns, adding texture and a premium tactile feel. This technique is ideal for luxury brands, such as high-end cosmetics or spirits, as it enhances brand perception and makes labels stand out on shelves.
Hot foiling
Hot Foiling applies a metallic finish, often in gold, silver, or holographic tones, to selected areas of a label. It exudes elegance and prestige, making it popular for wine, perfume, and premium product packaging. Hot foiling also increases the visual appeal of labels by reflecting light and drawing attention.
Varnishing
Varnishing involves coating the label with a protective or decorative layer, such as gloss, matte, or spot varnish.
Gloss varnishes provide a vibrant, polished look, matte varnishes offer a sleek, subdued finish, and spot varnishes highlight specific elements for contrast. Varnishing is widely used across industries to protect labels from wear and tear while enhancing visual depth.
Duplex Labels
Duplex labels feature double-sided printing, allowing you to include additional design elements or information on the back side of your labels.
This allows for some incredibly unique label designs (especially popular with our clients selling clear spirits!).
NFC/RFID Smart Labels
NFC/RFID Smart Labels incorporate near-field communication (NFC) or radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology, enabling features like inventory tracking, product authentication, or consumer engagement via smartphones.
They are highly effective in industries like retail, logistics, and high-value goods, where interactivity and traceability are key.

Yes, many embellishments, such as varnishing and hot foiling, also protect labels. Varnish adds resistance to scratches and moisture; while embossing and foiling maintain their integrity under regular handling.
Absolutely! Many designs use a mix of embellishments, such as combining embossing with hot foiling or adding spot varnish to highlight embossed areas. This creates a sophisticated, multi-dimensional effect that enhances the label's visual and tactile appeal.
