Can you match our special colours?
Yes. One of Amberley’s core strengths is its colour matching capability. This was initially driven by our business with the cosmetics companies and their high demand for matching lipstick and eye shadow colours. Our capabilities have been further developed over the years with the addition of a dedicated ink lab.

In addition to our in-house capabilities we have access to the ink mixing labs at HP, if we find we can not match a colour using the standard (or extended) process then we will provide a matched spot colour for the digital printing process.

In both conventional and digital, once we have matched the special colours we will produce a colour sample for you to approve before printing the labels.

What materials can Amberley print on?
We are able to print on a very high range of materials. Generally all our materials come with an adhesive backing (although we have printed some without) and a top surface. These can range from standard Paper, Polypropylene (PP) and Polyethylene PE that will cover a large range of applications to more specialised materials that can be sourced specifically for your application.

Please contact Amberley for further information on your special requirements.

How can I protect my labels once they are printed?
There are a number ways you can protect your printed labels. Most labels produced at Amberley will be finished with a varnish. There are many different types of varnish that will give you a gloss, semi-gloss or matt finished as well as protect the label. We can also laminate a protective surface to your labels for a very high level of protection, and again the lamination can be specified with different types of finish.

Please contact us at Amberley if you need any further information about your specific needs.
