Yes, labels are produced from start to finish (receipt of artwork to boxed labels) at our Croydon facility. Find out more about how Why Label Express keeps everything in-house.

We hold certifications for BRCGS, ISO 9001 and ISO 14001. See our Accreditations page for what each one means.

Our first question is, what are you using the labels for? What is the application? We can then make recommendations on material and adhesive, among other things. From there, we need to know the quantity, label size and the number of colours plus the varnish finish, and whether they will be hand or machine applied.

We have varied capabilities with the use of our digital and flexo presses, we can produce labels across the full colour spectrum. We also hold thousands of cutters in stock for each press. If we do not currently have a cutter that matches the exact size or shape you require, we can source this.

As our labels are supplied on reels, we will ask for confirmation of the winding direction, in other words, which way the labels need to come off the reel. The required winding format depends on the applicator used during final product labelling.

The cost for standard delivery within the UK is included in the price. For same day or expedited deliveries, these may incur costs.

Yes. We can produce shorter run requirements on our inkjet digital press.

Yes. For high volume requirements we can produce up to 8 colours on our flexo press.

Yes, we can offer press proofs before production and a PDF proof is always supplied for new or amended labels before production.

Some surfaces and packaging require specific types of material and adhesive. We are here to help guide you to the best possible solution.

Labels must be stored at 20–22°C and 50–55% relative humidity. Reels should be stored flat and not on their sides and kept away from direct sunlight and heat sources. A first-in, first-out (FIFO) stock-rotation system should be used.

Material manufacturers generally warrant materials up to two years, and so our recommendation is that labels remain usable for up to 18 months after the date they were manufactured, as long as they are stored under the recommended conditions.
