Printing production Martin Peroutka

Flexographic technology is used to produce the following types of labels:

• self-adhesive labels (in rolls or separate)
• shrink sleeves
• labels with perforation
• labels for additional printing of information (thermo-transfer labels, thermo-labels)
• cardboard labels
• lacquered and laminated labels
• holographic labels
• security labels
• labels for ink-jet and laser printers and copy machines
• etc.

In addition to label production, Flexographic printing is used to manufacture tags (for instance, for fruit, clothing, tea), lids (cardboard, aluminium), flexible packaging and shrink packaging.

This important component of Flexographic printing is used on three machines that can be connected to a UV screen printing unit suitable above all for applying:

• thick layers of paint – relief effect (letters, characters, blind embossing)
• lacquer layers in selected parts of label – gloss effect (emphasizing and drawing attention)
• thick layers of white covering paint on transparent foil
• metallic paints (instead of metallic imprinting)
• fluorescent paint (visible in the dark)
• covering layers in selected parts of label that can be scratched off – lottery tickets or competition cards (it is possible to use a special database generating winning combinations of numbers, codes, images, etc. in the course of printing; such labels can be used, for instance, for consumer competitions with instant response)
• thermo-chromic paints changing their shade in accordance with temperature (colours may, for instance, become transparent and reveal certain data or indicate the right product utilisation temperature).

When printing competition labels, it is possible to combine the respective advantages of Flexographic print and digital print.

Martin Peroutka Co. specialises in rotation printing.

Apart from standard forms, it concentrates on manufacturing the following products:

• carbon copy forms with guiding perforation used for computer printers
• separate carbon copy multi-sheet files of the Snap-Out type
• discreet envelopes for hidden printing of additional data
• blocks and sheets with the possibility of numbering

• Production of small volumes of self-adhesive labels in professional quality and at a low price. We guarantee the same cut-out quality as in the case of large rotation printers, i.e. rounded edges, various cut-out shapes, cutting faces preventing removal, etc.
• Digitally printed labels may be supplied in rolls or sheets. If supplied in rolls, they can be used for both manual and mechanical labelling. Sheet labels are slightly less expensive.
• Additional treatment (lacquering, lamination, lacquering + polishing) of labels after printing is possible.
• Thanks to our Variety program, we are able to print a wide range of bar codes and other groups of variable data. UCC-, EAN- and UPC-type bar codes, ISBN numbers are coded as EAN-13 symbols with computed end character (the last digit having controlling function), ITF, codes generated by algorithm 128, code 39 and special CODABAR, PLESSEY, MISI or CODE 93 codes. The end digits used for controlling purposes are generated automatically (they do not form a part of continual numerical series).
• Our offer of free graphic design also extends to digitally printed products.
