Combination Printing Opens New Markets

Star Label didn't have many problems starting up this new press, just a normal learning curve for the combination printing aspects. They had to learn which inks worked well together and what types of foil to use for certain materials, or if they were printing on top of the foil.

Okumus does point out that operating costs are higher due to the different processes. This translates to additional set-up time and waste. "But the end result is a beautiful, vibrant label that stands out on the product. You can not achieve the same results with conventional flexo."
