Label Graphics and Prepress

Master Impressions has been printing labels for over 30 years. Our prepress department has grown from a world of galleys and paste-ups to an innovative digital world. Our prepress staff can assist you with cost savings ideas for your design and barcode label requirements as well as make suggestions based on your packaging label application and wrap label or pressure sensitive label material choices. We have seen and worked with thousands of custom label designs and want to share our knowledge with you. We have many Technical Bulletins from our Prepress Department that we believe you will find helpful.

Custom Label Printing

Although we started out as a commercial printer, Master Impressions, Inc. has grown into a full service packaging label supplier. Our niche in custom labels and packaging labels started with the aerosol labels that were cut and stack labels run on sheet fed offset presses. Our primary printing process today is flexographic. This added the ability to produce pressure sensitive labels. This more environmentally friendly process uses water based inks and have given us the capabilities to expand our services. We have since grown to include roll fed unsupported custom labels, pressure sensitive labels in a variety of label materials, adhesives and coatings, custom die cut labels, coupon labels or instant coupons, piggy back labels, 3 page fold out labels and many others. If you have an application that needs a label, we can provide it for you.

We have eight options for label roll directions (PDF, 417K) from which to choose. You must use Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this file.

Specialty Labels

Our 3 page custom fold out labels offer the opportunity to use extra space for multiple language labels. As global marketing is expanding, we have to come up with new ways to include all the details you need to include on your custom label – without the can or bottle getting any bigger. The custom label looks very much like a book when laying flat. The top label or cover is your usual label. On the back of that label, there is room for further instructions, a recipe, MSDS information – you name it. The top label is hinged to allow for multiple layers of information. There are so many uses for this type of label.

Our dry release custom label is similar to the 3 page fold out label; however, it does not have a hinged side. The top product label simply comes off of the permanent bottom label. The adhesive is dry so you can use the top label for another use (directions, coupon, or recipe) and the bottom label stays attached to the product. Dry release labels are also referred to as coupon and piggyback labels.

Our inventory of custom label dies includes standard rectangles, circles and squares as well as custom shapes. If you cannot find a label to fit your container, our staff can work with you to design a custom shape of your own. Our cut and stack custom labels can be die cut as well to insure size and help to increase line speed of your labelers.

Just In Time Label Shipment

Master Impressions has a Just in Time or JIT Program for you. By placing a blanket order for one year’s usage and supplying release dates, you can save yourself time and money. Imagine only having to write one purchase order for a label line! You will be able to utilize a high price bracket thereby lowering your cost per label. Not only do you save time and money, but also save label warehouse space. With a JIT program, you decide the release dates and the labels arrive just when you need them. Instead of storing the labels, they arrive just in time to run on your line. How can you beat a deal like that?

Combination Label Printing

With Master Impressions’ Combination custom label Printing program, you can combine labels that are using the same die and number of colors. For example, if you have 5 labels that are all the same size and print in 3 colors, you will be able to combine the run and get a lower price per thousand custom labels. Not only are you saving money on printing but you are also processing fewer purchase orders.

Technical Bulletins

Our Technical Bulletins answer many of the questions our customers have in regards to label design and printing. It also keeps them informed of new items of interest in the packaging label industry. Our Technical Bulletins are available in PDF form for you to read. Simply call us and we will be happy to send you the ones you are interested in.
