History of labels

The first known label appeared around the year 1700. Can you guess what they were mainly made for?

Printing methods

Several types of print techniques are used in the production of self-adhesive labels, and Ellco Etikett covers many of these techniques. Read more about which methods we use and what is out there.

Colors

The colors of a label decide which printing method we should use, to achieve the best possible result. Is it a photograph, an illustration or a solid color? We can help you understand the differences in the methods.

Substrates

The substrates used in making labels are made out of three layers. The combination of these three layers are almost endless.

Varnishing

Do you want to protect your labels or maybe give them an eye-catching effect? Varnishing is important to make your labels the best!

Post-press

When your labels are printed and have reached the end of the press, the last step is decided by how you want them delivered.
