The precision and expertise of insignia's Prepress Team underpins the colour accuracy and quality print of your labels. Our graphic designers assist with colour and die recommendations, as well as label design and layout, always working closely with our certified printers to ensure your labels bring your brand to life.

We offer basic label design services, including amendments to current work.

Before sending your artwork to us, it is advisable to do one final copy and content check. insignia will perform one round of corrections free of charge. Any subsequent corrections, or modifications, may incur additional charges.
Our graphic designers are trained by GS1 to ensure your label's barcode meets specification and barcodes are verified as part of our quality check and sign-off process. Verification evaluates the barcode to ensure accurate and efficient scanning.
