RPC Blackburn - Wilko Timbercare label

RPC Blackburn - Wilko Timbercare label

Project overview

  • To produce a very high quality label using the latest UV flexo technology that would match, even surpass, the standard set by offset litho and all within a very tight timescale.

Challenges

  • The label was exceptionally large and required AJS to invest in new cylinders.
  • The tight deadline meant the labels were required within three working days of AJS receiving approved artwork.

Solutions

  • Great skill was needed in developing the plates for this label. Our repro team worked closely with the printers to produce artwork with a clear image and perfect green vignettes. Our computer-to-plate-making equipment was essential.
  • The large plates were particularly difficult to align and mount but this was vital in ensuring a sharp image.

Print data:

  •  5 flexo + turbo laminate to give a strong and easy-to-apply label.
