Specifications

Selection of paper stock, printing process, and finishing details will determine the final look and durability of your printed items.

Ink Selection

You should specify what colours you will be printing and how many. You will also need to decide on the printing process you will use such as four colour process (CMYK) and/or spot colour (PMS).

Paper Stock

You can either specify the stock name, weight and colour, or submit a sample for us to match. The selection of paper and any coatings applied will determine the final outcome and look of the design being printed.

Cutting & Holes

Tags can either be cut or die cut into various shapes. Most tags have a hole punched or die cut to allow for stringing or other application techniques. Eyelets can be used to reinforce the hole and for effect. Eyelets come in a variety of different colours.

Coatings or Varnish

These can be added for gloss, durability and to prevent finger prints.

Other Finishes Available

Embossing or debossing, scoring to make for an easier and/or better quality fold, applying eyelets, stringing, hot and foil stamping, and double mounting for a thicker tag are all techniques that we can apply to achieve the effect that you want.
