Why choose Flexographic Printing



At Focus Label we only supply our customers with the very best labelling machinery, today we will introduce you into the world of labelling printing - Flexographic  Printing.

Flexography (Flexo) is another form of printing. This machine uses a flexible relief plate that’s basically a modern version of a letterpress, which can be used for printing on almost any type of substrate, including plastic, metallic films, cellophane, and paper.

Flexographic printing is versatile because it’s one of the fastest printing processes in packaging for films and corrugated containers, making flexographic printing perfect for the consumer who needs labels daily.

Our flexographic printing machines use flexible printing plates made from rubber or plastic. These are inked with an image which is rotated onto a cylinder and then transferred onto the chosen material.

Changing your company’s logo




We should all know that the purpose of a logo is to represent your company brand.   This being said your logo design should be unique, give high impact and, if possible, leave an unforgettable impression.

Many different companies have gone through a “logo change” such as Pepsi & Nokia which brings me to my question

When is it time to change your logo?

There are many different reasons when you should change your logo, like for instance:
Merging two companies

If you merge your company into another company, this is a very common thing. You can either create a whole new logo or merge your two logos together, so the original customer shouldn’t get too confused about what is going on.

Changing the companies name

Perhaps the meaning of your companies name has changed over the years, or the market has changed or you need to essentially “keep up with the times”. If you do change your brands name it would be advised to change the company’s logo too.

Logo Revamp

A successful company will see a growth of employees they have and have the potential or expand into a new market. So changing your logo will tell your employees and customers that you are ready for the tasks ahead if the change in the logo should be an evolution.

Remember that a successful logo design will be effective in conveying your brand message and image.  Your logo design should serve the purpose of supporting your business and make sure that you implement your logo on all your products usual on products label.
