Material Flexibility - Within the ever-growing consumer market, label application demands continue to become more complex and diverse. Many products require their own custom labeling solution. Etiquette Systems offers a number of options that can ensure that our labels are compatible with our customers’ product(s).
We supply labels composed of:
We offer the following adhesives:
- Permanent - designed to stay affixed.
- Removable - can be removed after application from almost any surface, including textiles, cardboard or glass.
- All Temp - extra stickiness for a broad temperature range.
- Freezer - designed to be applied at sub-zero temperatures.
- Repositionable - allows the product to be placed on a surface, removed and reapplied without tearing the label We also offer a number of specialty adhesives or the option to print labels without adhesives (i.e. ‘tags’). With the right pairing of labeling material and adhesive, we can supply labels that can be applied to almost any surface.

Advantage of being a full UV shop – We have invested considerably in setting up our label machines to print with UV flexo inks, which can image on various substrates then cure by means of UV light. We are using the latest in curing technology developed by GEW ... engineering UV. Essentially, our equipment cures ink, not dries it. The majority of the inks we pour are made using automotive pigments making them UV stable (fade resist). Also, because UV inks are 100% solids, color consistency is superior than that of water based systems. UV inks also have reduced dot gain, meaning a better quality print. This is the next best method to screen printing systems in terms of achieving longevity. However, our advantage is not only the quality of product they produce but also the speed at which they produce them. These lamps will cure ink that passes by at 200+ meters per minute. In the litho world, that equates to about 43,000 impressions an hour. Just imagine a laser printer printing over 700 letter size sheets a minute. Its quick to say the least and this automation enables us to be cost effective because of time saved. Lastly, from an environmental aspect, UV curing uses less energy to operate over infrared or hot air. This is simply the way to go.
