What are full colour labels?

The full colour printing process (using up to six colours and a varnish) adds orange and green to the traditional cyan, magenta and yellow (CMYK) inks for a larger and more vibrant gamut, or colour range.

Infalabel Ltd can provide you with the ultimate bespoke full colour label - from the artwork stage to the finished product. We will take time to work with you to understand your bespoke requirements before designing and/or printing your labels.

Bespoke designs can be created and printed onto labels with permanent, removable, or freezer adhesive. Our friendly team can recommend which solution will be best for you.

We can print your full colour labels in up to 6 colours (plus a varnish), and deliver them directly to you or your customers, anywhere in the UK. Full colour labels can be made with a vellum or gloss finish, as required.

How does the full colour printing process work?

In this type of industrial or commercial printing, the technique used to print full-colour images, is referred to as full colour process (traditionally called four colour process printing).

Two graphic techniques are required to prepare images for full colour printing. In the "pre-press" stage, original images are translated into forms that can be used on a printing press, through "colour separation," and "screening" or "halftoning." These steps make possible the creation of printing plates that can transfer colour impressions to paper on printing presses based on the principles of lithography.
