As a standard we work to all recognised colour matching systems - including Pantone, BS and RAL, and have a skilled workforce with the capabilities to mix or select the required ink or ribbon. Although we are limited in some label printing processes with the spectrum of colour, for instance with hot foil printing we must select a colour ribbon although we are confident we can choose a colour that between us represents your company colour perfectly. With all our screen printed labels we mix the colour to order - matching any recognised colour system to perfection. As with our digital labels we have the capabilities and expertise both in prepress and on the press to manipulate any colour so it represents the colour you require.

For further information or to discuss any label or marking project you may have, just get in contact.

After designing your label on the computer you then select what substrate you wish to print on, be it Polyester, Vinyl, Paper or whatever you desire as well as the colour ribbon (this is effectively the ink of the print and comes in a roll format). Both the roll of substrate and roll ribbon passes through the printer, where the print head which presses the two together with the pattern/design of the label being replicated by hundreds of tiny pins that have descended according to the design. Each pin effectively represents one pixel from the computer design, therefore the higher the printer resolution (e.g. 300 dpi) the better quality the print.

Thermally printed labels are generally die cut on Newfoil machines prior to printing, and therefore come off of the printer ready for despatch to the customer. Thermal printing is both practical, cost efficient and particularly durable - so please get in contact to discuss any or your label requirements.

After enjoying a relaxing Christmas break we are ready and raring to go - focussed on making 2010 our busiest yet. With intentions to expand both our label and engraving offerings, be sure to keep a close eye on our website for new products which we will be developing over the year.

Well, 2009 is nearing an end and the "noughties" will soon be over, but all of us here at Fine Cut would like to wish all of our customers, associates and contacts a very Merry Christmas. We would like to thank you all for your custom and look forward to supplying all of your label and marking requirements in 2010.

We hope you have a super Christmas break and return with lots of new products and projects that need the labelling expertise that only Fine Cut can provide. Have a Happy New Year and we wish you all a prosperous new year.

This rare gem was discovered recently, hiding away amongst other Fine Cut literature from our early years. This brochure was one of the very first advertisements of our already extensive catalogue of bookbinding tools. Amongst other things it highlighted our huge range of brass type and bookbinding finishing tools which we still make to the highest standards today.

Fine Cut may have modified our name over the years and have modernised as a company since this literature was printed, back in the 80's, but you can rest assured that we are still providing only the finest crafted bookbinding tools on the market which has kept us at the forefront of the industry for so long.

For further information or to enquire about our whole range of bookbinding finishing tools please get in contact.

Th individual flakes will be laser marked and a certain proportion will be inserted into each box and could mark the beginning of other schemes to protect brands - if deemed successful.

Fine Cut feels the operation will not only be time consuming but a costly venture, as laser engraving logos onto cornflakes is "nutty" and more suitable to their other brand 'Crunchy Nut'. However, in all seriousness, Kellogs must have a fairly logical reason to proceed with the idea and a suitably large budget for it to succeed.

If you have any laser engraving or marking projects that require a quality finish at an affordable price (no cereal thanks) please get in touch with colin@finecut.co.uk

However, this is no ordinary birthday! Peter is celebrating his 50th birthday this year, although he informs us it's a clerical mistake on his birth certificate and infact he's really only 40.

The Fine Cut team decided to buy something special to celebrate his birthday, so together purchased a brand new dog house for his beloved canine or for times when Carol won't let him in the house. Peter was ecstatic with the present and could not wait to try out his new luxurious dwelling.
