Frequently Asked Questions

What finishes can you apply to a luxury cosmetic label?

Metallic foiling, embossing and debossing up to 250 micron relief height, soft-touch and scratch-resistant varnishes, and matte, soft-touch or holographic lamination.

How fine can the registration be on an intricate design?

We hold ±0.1mm alignment accuracy, which is what intricate cosmetic artwork and clear-on-clear constructions need.

They are built to support EC Regulation 1223/2009 for Europe, GSO and ESMA norms across the GCC, FDA 21 CFR Part 701 for the USA, INCI ingredient nomenclature at legible sizes, and Braille embossing for accessibility.
