What is Double-Bump?
 |
|
| Double-Bump Labels use 6 layers of materials. |
As shown in the illustration at right, Double-Bump is a process
by which we place two layers of UV ink on a pressure sensitive
film substrate in order to simulate the density, opacity and durability of screen printing.
The immediate benefit is that now you can offer smaller manufacturers a product that will allow them to compete with larger manufacturers by obtaining the look
and shelf-appeal of screen printed labels.
To create the Double-Bump effect, we will back up each color with an initial layer of
white UV ink. With this step, we can then proceed to add any chosen ink color over the initial layer of white ink. Once the process
is complete, you will then have a label that has comparable characteristics to a traditional Screen Printed Label. The inks will have
the opacity, density, and more importantly, comparable durability of a Screen Printed Label. If added resistance is required, we can
also add UV Coating to the label.
The tight registration variance of our proprietary flexographic label presses, enables you to provide
a product that gives your customer unlimited design options. From detailed artwork and thin-lined typestyle, to complex screens and
color mixes, it can all be done with Discount Labels' Proprietary Presses.
Double-Bump Labels allow you to enter a market which has
traditionally been dominated by direct sales forces who target large manufacturers. Now you can offer these same customers a product
which is faster to produce, of comparable durability, and at a better overall value. You can now participate in a film market which
stood at $1.5 billion last year and is expected to grow twice as fast as paper labels in the next 3-5 years. The film substrate used to
produce Double-Bump labels is available in both Clear (No-Label Look), and Frosty formats. We also offer White Vinyl and traditional
Clear Polyester.
