Welcome to Label Apeel Ltd., the home of world-class decorative labels. In this video, we’ll explore the power of screen printing in label production—how it can bring depth, texture, and vibrant finishes to your brand. From glitter varnishes to scratch-and-sniff coatings, we’ll show you how screen printing elevates labels to the next level.
Screen printing is a versatile print technique that applies thick layers of ink or varnish onto labels. Unlike other methods, it
A mesh screen is used to control the flow of ink, allowing for precise application. This technique is ideal for adding texture, depth, and special effects that make labels stand out. Creates bold, tactile finishes that engage both sight and touch.
For a dazzling effect, glitter varnishes add a sparkling dimension to labels, perfect for premium and celebratory products. The screen printing process allows for a high concentration of glitter particles, ensuring a rich and eye-catching finish
If you want labels that feel as good as they look, high build varnishes create raised textures that add depth and emphasis to logos, text, or patterns.
Engage your customers with interactive labels! Screen printing allows for microencapsulated fragrances that release scent when scratched—ideal for scented candles, personal care products, and more.
For deep, vibrant colours that stand out, screen printing enables a thick ink laydown that enhances opacity, making it ideal for bold designs and striking visuals.
Now, let’s take a quick look at how these effects are achieved.
First, the screen is prepared with the design, blocking areas where ink shouldn’t pass through.
Next, ink or varnish is applied and pushed through the screen using a squeegee, layering the material onto the label.
Finally, the label is dried or cured under UV light, ensuring durability and a premium finish.
So, why choose screen printing for your labels? Here’s what makes it stand out:
It creates bold, high-impact designs with vibrant colors and textures.
It enhances the sensory experience—whether it’s the sparkle of glitter, the texture of high build varnish, or the surprise of a scratch-and-sniff label.
