Question
|
Answer
|
|
What
kind of stock do you use for your
labels?
|
All
of our label stocks are purchased from
manufacturers of quality pressure
sensitive materials. At Partners, we offer
a complete line of paper, foil, film, tag
and synthetic materials.
|
|
What
is the maximum size label you can
print?
|
Our
presses are capable of printing and die
cutting labels up [to] 15" x
24".
|
|
Do
you manufacture labels which are suitable
for exterior use?
|
Yes.
Partners supplies a complete line of
synthetic face materials, adhesives, inks
and top-coatings for out-door label
applications.
|
|
What
kind of inks do you use?
|
Partners
offers a wide range of ink options from
water based, solvent based, uv flexo and
uv letterpress, plus overprint top-coat
and uv top-coat varnishes.
|
|
What
is the maximum number of colours that can
be printed on a label?
|
Well
that's a tricky one. The answer is 8 but
CMYK combinations number in the
thousands.
|
|
What
does CMYK stand for?
|
CMYK
is the basis for the four process colours,
Cyan, Magenta, Yellow
and blacK.
|
|
What
are the smallest and largest quantities
you can run?
|
This
is another tricky question. Since the cost
of production is volume related, minimums
and maximums are frequently decided by
you, the customer. The smaller the run
quantity, the greater the individual label
unit cost becomes. In short, we can run
one hundred labels or five million
labels.
|
|
What's
the average turn-around time?
|
Normally,
we request two weeks. However, we
appreciate that sometimes this schedule
may not align with our customers' needs.
In these situations, we guarantee to do
everything possible to satisfy your
time-lines without sacrificing quality or
impacting the overall cost.
|
|
Okay,
I'm ready to send you my artwork. What
format do you require?
|
MAC
format is preferred, however, PC can be
received. And yes, we still can work with
art-boards and film.
|
|
Will
I receive a proof, prior to printing my
labels?
|
Yes.
All production runs require a signed proof
by the customer. Proofs may be in the form
of black and white or colour out-puts,
colour keys or cromilins.
