Precision-converted labels for the most demanding application lines.

We engineer our labels exclusively using substrates from tier-one innovators like Avery Dennison and Arconvert. We do not gamble with raw materials because consistent tension control and adhesive stability are non-negotiable for high-speed dispensing lines.

Why our labels eliminate downtime:

  • Perfect 'Kiss-cut' Engineering: The most critical failure point in automatic labeling is the liner breaking due to irregular die-cutting pressure. We use high-precision rotary tooling to ensure the face stock is cut cleanly while the silicone liner remains 100% intact. This guarantees zero web breaks.
  • Tailored Adhesive Stack: Instead of a generic "permanent" glue, we engineer the adhesive to your specific environment. Whether it’s Deep-freeze (sub-zero), Hot-melt (rough surfaces), or Wash-off (recycling), we match the adhesive chemistry to your container’s surface energy.
  • Adhesive Bleed Control: We use substrates with optimized flow characteristics to prevent "adhesive bleeding" (oozing) at the edges, which causes sticky rolls and jams print heads or applicators.
  • Premium Converting: Beyond print, we integrate complex finishes like Cold Foil, Embossing, and Silk Screen inline, maintaining tight registration without slowing down your application process.

Target market

Premium Food & Beverage, Cosmetics, Chemicals, and Industrial manufacturers requiring complex, high-reliability labeling.

Labels that perform on the line and on the shelf

A printed label has two jobs. On the shelf it carries the brand, the product information and often the first impression of quality. On the packing line it has to dispense, apply and stay in place at full speed, shift after shift. Our custom printed self-adhesive labels are built for brands and manufacturers who cannot afford to compromise on either of those jobs.

Who these labels are for

We work with manufacturers whose labelling needs to be both distinctive and dependable:

  • Premium food and beverage brands labelling jars, bottles and containers on automatic lines.
  • Cosmetics and nutraceuticals, where finishes such as cold foil and tactile varnish help a product stand out and support brand protection.
  • Household and industrial chemicals, where labels on plastic containers need moisture-resistant synthetic face stocks and a strong bond.
  • Industrial and medical manufacturers, where a label can be a functional component, such as a safety warning or a marking on a device.

How we build a label

A self-adhesive label is a stack of layers: the printed face stock, the adhesive and the silicone-coated liner that carries it through the applicator. Each layer affects how the label prints, converts and dispenses, which is why we treat the whole construction as one engineering decision.

Printing

We print with high-definition flexography, a process suited to consistent colour across longer runs. If you are weighing printing technologies for your volumes, our guide to flexography for high volumes explains when it pays off.

Adhesive selection

The adhesive is chosen for the surface and the conditions the label will meet. Beyond deep-freeze, hot-melt and wash-off options, our project work includes ultra-aggressive adhesives for low surface energy (LSE) coatings and high-tack, low-peel systems that release cleanly from delicate films. For a global home furnishing brand we converted an ultra-aggressive adhesive at industrial volumes for permanent safety labels on LSE furniture surfaces, calibrating die-cutting and waste stripping so the material ran without defects on automatic lines.

For ultra-thin 7-micron refuse bags we engineered a high-tack, low-peel adhesive system that bonds instantly on the production line but peels away by hand without tearing the bag. On the most sensitive lines the adhesive is applied only in strips, leaving the lift tab dry.

Converting and finishing

After printing, the label is die-cut, stripped and slit into rolls that suit your applicator. Precise slitting matters as much as the cut itself. For automated medical assembly we developed a proprietary Zero-Drift slitting process that holds a ±0.1mm tolerance, compared with the roughly ±1.0mm drift typical of standard equipment. Read how this supports high-precision labels for medical robotics.

How to choose the right construction

A short brief helps us recommend the right materials from the start. Useful information includes:

  • The container: glass, plastic, cardboard, flexible film or a coated surface, and whether it is flat or curved.
  • The conditions: chilled or frozen storage, moisture, contact with chemicals, or a need for the label to wash off in recycling.
  • The removal behaviour: permanent and tamper-evident, or easy to peel without damaging the pack.
  • Your applicator: line speed, roll direction and any tolerances your equipment needs.
  • The finish: whether the design calls for cold foil, embossing, silk screen or tactile effects.

Sustainability and end-of-life

FSC®-certified paper is available on request under our licence FSC-C132885, and recyclable film materials are available where a film face suits the pack better. Wash-off adhesives are designed to separate from the container during recycling. In practice, matching the label material to the packaging it sits on is one of the simplest ways to keep the whole pack easier to sort and recycle.

Regulatory context

The EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) has applied since 12 August 2026. It brings closer attention to every component of a pack, including labels and their adhesives. Reviewing label construction alongside the main packaging is a sensible step for brands preparing for the new rules.

Working with Leoprint

Our projects often start with a specific problem: labels that will not stay on a surface, liners that break on the applicator, or tolerances standard converting cannot hold. We test solutions in real production conditions, not only in the lab, and then scale them for repeat supply. Share your container, line and design with us, and talk to our team about the right label construction for your product.

Frequently asked questions

Which label materials do you use?

We build our labels on substrates from Avery Dennison and Arconvert. Depending on the application, the face stock can be paper, with FSC®-certified paper available on request, recyclable film, or a moisture-resistant synthetic material for containers such as household chemical bottles. We select the face stock, adhesive and liner together, because each one affects how the label prints, converts and dispenses on your line.

What does kiss-cut mean and why does it matter?

Kiss-cutting means the die cuts through the face stock and adhesive but leaves the silicone liner intact. On automatic labelling lines the liner carries the labels through the applicator, so a liner damaged by uneven cutting pressure can break the web and stop production. We use high-precision rotary tooling to keep the cut clean and consistent, which supports uninterrupted dispensing at high speed.

Can you make labels for difficult surfaces?

Yes. We match the adhesive to the surface and conditions, with deep-freeze, hot-melt and wash-off options. Our project work also includes ultra-aggressive adhesives for low surface energy furniture coatings and high-tack, low-peel adhesives for ultra-thin bags, where the label must hold during production but peel away without tearing the film. Tell us about your container and we will recommend a construction.

Which finishes can be added to printed labels?

We can integrate cold foil, embossing and silk screen inline with printing, while keeping tight registration between print and finish. Tactile varnish is also used to add a distinctive feel, for example on premium nutraceutical labels. Combining these finishes in one process means you get a premium look without slowing down your labelling line. Share your artwork and we will advise on the options.

How precise can roll slitting be for automated application?

For automated medical assembly we developed a proprietary Zero-Drift slitting process that holds a ±0.1mm tolerance in web width and label position, compared with roughly ±1.0mm typical of standard converting equipment. Not every application needs that level of precision, so let us know the tolerances your applicator or robotics require and we will confirm the right approach for your project.
