make your brand shine

Yes! When you ask for a price, please tell us what you have in mind. We offer design services for both making new unique labels and updating the designs of labels that you already have. 

A label is very important to the success or failure of your products. It’s what gets a customer’s attention and helps them decide whether or not to buy something. At Flybear Printing, we have a professional design team that can help you make your label dreams come true. Whether you need to update the style of your current label or start from scratch, our team can help.

Absolutely! If you click “Sample Needed,” we’ll send you free samples of printed product labels. Our free label samples show how different mixes of material and finish look in real life. They also show how great our digital label printing presses are at making colors and photos look.

Note – sample packs are only available to recipients in the United States and Canada. If you don’t fit that description but would still like to work with us, please contact us and we can explore the options.

Customers who have had bad experiences with other printing companies sometimes ask us questions like this. In reality, though, the printing business has always had problems with colour consistency. Older traditional presses use liquid inks that are often mixed by hand for each job or stored in bottles in case they are needed in the future. The process of mixing ink has definitely gotten better over time, but it still relies on people and their own decisions.

Customers often want parts of their labels to be written in white ink, especially if they are using Chrome or Clear material. If you do want to use white ink in this way, there are a few ways to do it during the design process, based on what software the designer is using

As we’ve said elsewhere, Adobe Illustrator is our favourite file format because it’s a vector-based program that makes the best printing results. If your artist is using Illustrator, it’s not too hard to add white ink. The designer just needs to put the white ink on a different layer with a custom spot colour and call that layer “white ink.” It also helps if they make the “white” swatch 100% Cyan and 100% Yellow (100/0/100/0), so that the white ink areas look bright green in the artwork and are easy for our pre-press workers to see. Then, we’ll use that layer to tell the press where to print white ink.

You should know that you can also add a white layer in Photoshop, but it’s a bit more difficult. Still, a good artist should already know how to do this.

If your designer is using software that doesn’t support layers or is making “image files” (like jpg, png, or other raster files that are hard to change), they should lay out the chosen “white areas” in a separate file and make the colour Black (so it’s visible on the screen). We’ll think that any parts of the design that are black in that file should be white in the original design.

Also, assume that wherever the artwork doesn’t specify a colour, no ink will be written and the background will show through. For Clear material, this will be the product itself, but for Chrome, it will be the shiny silver metallic material.

With hot stamping, shiny foil is pressed right into the labels. The heat gives your brand a unique sheen and opens up new ways to create it creatively. We also have a large library of foils from which you can choose to make your new hot stamp design.

Embossing is a way to print that makes your product labels feel different to the touch. With embossed labels, you can draw attention to a picture or line of text by making it stand out by raising it above the label’s surface. You can emboss any kind of picture or word, so your choices are endless.
