• Dye-Sublimation

    Full colour, abrasion and chemical resistant

    Dye-Sublimation works by printing onto a carrier substrate, this is then heat fused onto a thin metallic sticker. This is then bonded directly onto a machine or onto a control panel.

     

    This offers a more cost effective way of producing premium labelling that is more resistant to abrasion and chemical damage, but without the cost of ano-printing. We used to outsource this process, but realising that this was very valuable to our clients we acquired a company that specialised in this service so that we could bring it in house.

    Made In Britain

    We are proud to make all our products in the UK, sure we bring in raw materials, but all the processing is done here. As much as we love real ale and sausage rolls, our pride really comes from the power of distributed, lean, on demand manufacturing. Making locally means supply chains are more secure, transport CO2 is dramatically reduced and Just In Time becomes much more feasible.

  • 4 ways we make things better for manufacturers

    1

    Consolidate Supply

    Are labels a small but critical part of your BOM?

     

    Consolidate your signs, stickers, labels and industrial engraving with us, freeing you up to focus on bigger fish.

    2

    Buy Flexibly

    We use our Lean, on demand set-up to offer you flexibility in how you buy.

     

    Would it be helpful to order in singles, but still get volume pricing?

     

    Move to consolidated label sets?

     

    If you want to change how you buy, we will work with you to find a way that works.

    3

    Reduce Lead-times

    Our setup means we can typically reduce your current label lead-times from months to weeks and from weeks to days.

     

    Cutting lead times often means reduced stock holding & less obsolescence if specs change.

     

    Shorten your critical path, move to Just in Time or just solve that emergency.

    Talk to Manufacturers

    Created and owned by engineers, we stand apart from the graphic designer who owns a sign franchise.

     

    We understand manufacturing processes, specifications, materials and drawings in a way that is often a welcome relief for new customers.
