This great label shows not only the power of digital printing, but the POWER of the Rose City Label team to make things happen for our customers.
We got a panic call from a very good customer that had failed to order labels over a month ago, and now they were about to shut down their line and make their good customers wait for product. Luckily, that didn’t have to happen!
Besides amazing digital printing, this label had several other steps to make it a reality:
Since it is ultimately delivered in single cut pieces (not on a roll) the stock had to be back-slit and sized for the press
The job was a repeat print, so the we were able to fire up the digital press and print 10,000 labels very quickly
but… then the label had to be laminated and cut to individual labels
and… finally the label had to be inspected and trimmed to the exact size required by the customer…
While we very proud of the TECHNOLOGY used to make this label – we are even more proud of the PEOPLE that make it happen. Each of these steps was performed by a different person on a different machine. And the whole job was complete in about 4 hours!
The people that stand behind the technology are the difference – and the competitive advantage we have to offer your company.
If you would like this dedicated team making sure that your line never goes down, please call us today.
Like so many of the new techniques we learn to improve your labels – this one was brought to us by a good customer. We were challenged to match a very beautiful, simple label. And, we had to do it for a competitive price, with much better service than the previous vendor.
Using our new digital press, we were able to match the background color and run the job economically – even though it was a very short run of a premium wine. Once the background was approved, we were able to foil stamp and emboss the label – in perfect registration! This simple design looks amazing on the label – and even better on the bottle.

This is one of the specialty areas that other label companies come to us for – we are the experts!
Foil stamping is another strong specialty area for Rose City Label. Using a pre-printed label with a special eye-mark, our semi-rotary, foil stamping press reads the eye-mark and stamps foil onto the pre-printed label in precise registration.
Foil Stamping is a great way to set your label apart from the competition. Using our eye-mark technology, we can register a detailed foil stamp to a preprinted label. The label can be simple or complex – and Foil Stamping will add a touch of class to help your product get noticed on the shelf!
This is a great way to dress up a label from one color to eight colors and add an extra touch of class. This process is a great way to make your label distinctive and stand out on the shelf. Call us today to find out about hot stamp for your labels.
Rewind and Final Inspection are the final check to ensure top quality for our customers!
Rewind is the final step in high quality, custom label production. Since the press runs in long, 5000 foot rolls, it’s important to have a final step where the operator can inspect and wind the labels down to the quantity requested by the customer.
Sometimes that’s as few as 50 labels per roll. This also gives the operator a chance to inspect any defects out and make sure that the final product is all top quality labels for our customers.

Full Color Flexographic Beer Label printing is a big part of what we do at Rose City Label!
If you have longer run sizes, or items that will repeat over and over again, the traditional high-speed flexo press is the answer.
Full color, flexographic label printing is a huge part of what we do atRose City Label. By printing with the various process colors, our inline label process combines yellow ink with the other colors to put together a beautiful, full color label. Magenta, then cyan, and finally a spot color of blue complete this label, which is then overlaid with a black text shown here.
Once all these colors are laid down, a high quality UV varnish is added to protect the label and keep it from scuffing. Because the label moves so fast, a freeze frame camera is used to ensure that the entire label is kept in perfect registration. Die cutting is handled at the end of the press so the final labels are finished in a press roll ready to be finished, inspected, and sent to you.
We still make most of our amazing labels on traditional, flexographic presses. If your label will print in large volume, or will repeat over and over again, traditional printing may be for you.
Traditional printing is alive and well at Rose City Label. Many longer run,
simple labels print better on a traditional printing press. Printing, die
cutting, and waste removal are all handled in one step at over 200 feet per
minute. This label, which has been printed dozens of times over the years,
is certainly more economical on a long run, traditional, flexographic
press.
Call us today. We can help you with all your label needs, short run, full
color or simple one color industrial labels for your products.
