Laser & Stock Labels

Laser printing is an ideal printing process for pressure sensitive labels due to its operating simplicity and cost effectiveness. However, utilizing sub-standard label stock will cause poor print quality and increase printer maintenance. Here at Global Venture, made from the highest quality base material, our Stock Labels gives our customers peace of mind.  We offer 24-hour shipment on our comprehensive, stocking programs for thermal and laser labels. Our wide variety of thermal ribbons makes our offering complete and competitive, which will satisfy all your requirements.

Our Laser & Stock Labels have:  

• High imaging face stock allowing smudge proof printing and excellent bar code definition.
• High Opacity
  
• Aggressive Standard adhesives which can adhere to both recycled corrugated cardboards and poly bags
• Been Formatted to meet specific; Point of Sale, Carton Making and Shipping Label requirements detailed in the GS1 General Specifications

When you have decided what material and design you need, just let us know what label size you need.  We have hundreds of tools on hand so it’s likely we have the size you want or something very close.  If not, and you need something exact, we offer reasonable one-time tooling fees and can even do prototype, die-less samples to make sure the layout will work for you.   Our laser and inkjet products come both in 8.5” x 11” and 8.5” x 14” sheet sizes.

*   Please Note:  The choices of Laser and Inkjet label materials are somewhat limited.  There are special reasons for this:

Laser Label Printing uses a heating process that transfers toner to a laser sheet.  Unfortunately, it also heats up the label material and causes certain substrates to curl or melt as they pass through the fuser process. Additionally, special thick adhesives suitable for temperature extremes, chemicals or textured, rough or dirty surfaces tend to ooze as they heat up and may cause jamming.

Inkjet Label Printing uses a wet ink process that requires label materials to quickly absorb and dry the ink as it passes over the labels.  Hard synthetics such as polyester simply do not let the ink penetrate the label surface.  With a limited number of paper and synthetics, there is a comparable limit to the choices of adhesives and until there is more demand, raw material suppliers are not producing a wide selection of label materials and adhesive combinations.

If you can’t find exactly what you need in laser labels, we suggest switching to Thermal Transfer Labels.  Thermal transfer printing does not require printing temperatures as high as laser printers and therefore there is a much wider selection of label materials and adhesives available.  This technology uses printing ribbons that come in a wide range of formulas and colors to match label substrates and tougher label applications.  With thermal transfer labels, you can get high quality, very durable images that hold up against not only water, but many chemicals, UV light and other tough conditions.
