Processing Sequence
The manufacturing process for your order depends on the printing machinery we are using to fulfil your order. The email updates you receive will be triggered when your order moves from one process to the next:
Flexographic Labels – Target 7-10 working days
These are generally printed on our MPS press. The workflow for this press is:
- Placed in production for printing
- Rewind
- Despatch
Plain Labels – Target 3-10 working days
Unprinted labels are processed in a single sequence on one machine. Predominently, this will be a Daco plain label converter or our semi-rotary GM converter. The workflow for this press is:
- Placed in production for conversion
- Despatch
Digital labels – Target 3-5 working days
Digitally printed labels are processed on one of three machines: The Xeikon, Screen or Jetrion. The Jetrion is a single print process, whereas the Xeikon and Screen use a three step process:
The workflow for the Jetrion press is:
- Placed in production for printing and cutting
- Despatch
The workflow for the Xeikon & Screen presses is:
- Placed in production for printing
- Finishing (application of varnishes, laminates and cutting the labels)
- Rewind
- Despatch
Price Gun Labels – Target 3-10 working days
2612 and 2616 labels are processed in a single sequence
The workflow for this press is:
- Placed in production for conversion
- Despatch
All other price gun labels (2212 Punch holes), 3021s, 2928s etc.) are processed in a 2 step production sequence.
The workflow for this press is:
