Patented Profitability

Ward/Kraft, Ft. Scott, Kan., provides premium quality prime labels printed with a patented system, resulting in high-color images that are better than photo quality. A wide variety of special coatings and laminates helps labels create brand presence and attract consumers’ attention.

Additional design elements include aggressive hot-melt adhesive, paper and poly face stocks and laminates, as well as UV and textured coatings.

Ward/Kraft’s duplex shipping label is a uniquely constructed, all-in-one, two-sided shipping label and packing slip combination, which end-users can run through a duplex laser printer to print both sides of the label. This allows for ease of use, and eliminates waste and hard-to-handle plastic pouches.

Said Gina Holt, VP, business development/sales, “It is a patent[ed] product, so this helps to maintain [distributors’] reorders. Suggested markets include manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, mail-order houses, computer supply companies, parts supply companies and furniture and appliance manufacturers.”

Ward/Kraft’s patent-pending RealCard with labels is created inline by joining two materials in a proprietary, one-step production process, resulting in a plastic card that can be variable image 100 percent on the face and back. “This gives ... [end-users] a duplex- or simplex-printed product with the entire face and back of the card exposed,” explained Holt. Suggested markets include the insurance, financial, education and healthcare industries.

Material Witness

From the Wov-In Line division of Universal Strap, Jackson, Wis., come labels, stickers and patches fashioned from woven polyester in up to eight colors. Stickers featuring pressure-sensitive adhesive backing are available in standard oval, circle, rectangle and square shapes, as well as custom die cuts.

The products easily adhere to any surface, and are perfect for one-time events—particularly for clothing-friendly name tags. Semi-permanent iron-on patches and permanent sewn-on patches for durable, long-term wear serve a variety of apparel applications, while reinforcing brand and logo exposure. Woven designs are replicated—not duplicated—and the economical yet effective products clearly display small text and fine details.
