In-house Prepress
Artcraft understands that Prepress is where print quality begins. In simple terms, the Prepress department takes your label design apart so that it can be put back together on press. In reality, the process is far more complex than this simple explanation suggests, and our attention to excellence in the Prepress department is part of what distinguishes us in the industry.
Printing
Artcraft runs both Flexographic and Digital printing processes on our printed labels. For our Flexographic printing process, we use HD plate technology allowing us to produce print quality that rivals some of the most advanced print processes. Whether Flexo or Digitally printed, we pride ourselves on our ability to produce colour consistency and visual quality.
Silkscreen Printing
To complement our print processes, we have a Rotary Silkscreen process available. Whether to embellish a wine label or print fine details on cosmetics such as opaque white, our Silkscreen can be fitted at any areas of the print process. Ask us for some of our samples.
Hotstamp and Emboss
Either Hot or Cold foil, we have equipment to do both. Ask us about our embellishment capabilities.

Our Sustainable Solutions
Artcraft Label is committed to providing sustainable labelled packaging. All our plate making, and washing is water based generating no more waste than a load of laundry per day!In 2015 we developed environmentally sustainable label constructions that meet the Association of Plastics Recyclers, APR Design® Guide guidelines for recycling PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) Clamshells called ProPETE™.All 4 constructions have met the criteria established in the Association of Plastics Recyclers, APR Design® Guide.
ProPETE™ F series
Label and adhesive cleanly separates from the PET in the hot wash step
The label face stock is film based and will not pulp when wet
The separated label will float in the wash system sink/float tub which allows label pieces to separate from the flake materials
Inks are sealed onto the label Face Stock through either the use of a coating or a laminate layer preventing colour contamination of the RPET
ProPETE™ P series
Label and adhesive cleanly separates from the PET in the hot wash step
The label face stock is a specialty paper-based product that breaks down when wet. The residual paper and inks are removed by the rinse system filtration
For P200 over-laminate floats to the surface and is removed in a sink/float tub which allows label pieces to separate from the flake materials
