Frequently Asked Questions

Flexography uses flexible printing plates to transfer artwork onto a label web. An anilox roller controls the ink supplied to the plate, and separate printing units align the colours to create the final design. It is well suited to repeat and high-volume roll-label projects.

Flexographic printing can be used for printed roll labels for food, beverages, cosmetics, household chemicals and industrial products. Tagora Etiket & Ambalaj uses flexography for high-volume projects. Quantity, colours, label dimensions, artwork and material determine its suitability for the particular project.

Plate preparation creates an initial setup cost. As order quantities increase, that cost is spread across more labels, while efficient web production can improve unit economics. The specification, number of colours and finishing requirements all affect the quotation.

Printed labels can be enhanced with gold or silver foil, varnish and spot varnish. The finish is selected alongside the label material, artwork and packaging surface to achieve the intended visual effect and practical performance.

Yes, a printed label can include an area for variable data. That area, the substrate and any varnish must be compatible with the intended printer or coding system. Planning this during artwork preparation helps avoid print-adhesion or legibility issues.

Paper is a versatile option for many dry applications. PP and PE synthetics can suit situations involving moisture, flexibility or greater resistance to tearing. The packaging surface, application temperature and expected exposure guide the final choice.

Not automatically. Container colour, curvature, surface texture and adhesive appearance influence the result. White ink, if specified, can improve the visibility of artwork on a transparent material. The combination should be assessed on the actual packaging.

Application temperature and service temperature are different considerations. Condensation, freezing and the container surface can affect adhesion and print performance. We use these details to discuss an appropriate material and adhesive combination.

Our range includes direct thermal, coated thermal, vellum, coated paper and PP–PE synthetic labels. Dimensions, form, roll length and core diameter can be specified to suit the application and compatible printer.

We consider the printer make and model, label width and length, core diameter, maximum roll diameter, winding direction, gap or perforation and sensor requirements. These details help the roll feed reliably and the printer detect each label correctly.

Direct thermal printing activates a heat-sensitive label coating without a ribbon. Thermal transfer printing uses a ribbon to transfer the image onto a compatible surface. Required image life and environmental conditions help determine the appropriate method.

Wax is commonly used with compatible paper labels. Wax-resin offers a balance of versatility and resistance, while resin can provide greater durability on suitable synthetic materials. Results depend on the specific label, ribbon and printer combination.

Symbol size, contrast, quiet zones, print quality and surface condition all matter. The selected barcode type and any GS1 requirements should be considered alongside the scanner and real handling conditions.

Label dimensions, quantity, substrate or packaging surface, artwork and finishing needs are a useful starting point. For blank labels, include the printer make and model and any roll specifications. An existing label sample can also help explain the requirement.

These vary with the material, label size, printing and finishing requirements, and current production planning. We confirm the quantity, delivery expectations and commercial details for each project rather than applying one fixed figure to every product.

Yes. We support the process from design and material selection through printing and delivery. Reviewing artwork, variable-data areas and application conditions together helps align the finished label with its intended use.
