Start-up Company Harkwell Labels Chooses UV Letterpress

The company is somewhat unique in that it relies solely on the letterpress process to produce its products. Where many label printers today lean heavily on flexo or litho printing for label production, Harkwell is firmly committed to the letterpress process. States Tim Fountain, owner, “We are not interested in getting into the commodity market and we have many local businesses we can serve. The letterpress technology we have is cost effective and great for handling dedicated, short runs with consistent, high quality printing job after job. We can combine that quality consistency with hot foiling, laminating, custom die cutting and sheeting. We know and work with our customers as partners and they know we are available for them at all times and passionate about labels.” General Manager Jon Cooke adds, “Harkwell has identified a niche area delivering high quality, attractive labels to both small and large organisations that help them to brand and advertise their products at a reasonable cost. We always recommend our ultra high gloss varnishing for that added eye appeal and provide this service free of charge, as it has become a more affordable and flexible alternative to overlaminate.”
