Sticker Printing - New Machine , New Print Possibilities ..... White is the new black!

Laura Ashton • 3 March 2021

Read here about our new printing machine and what it could do for you...

Just before Christmas we were lucky enough to get accepted for a grant supported by SME Restart & Recovery and Kickstarting Tourism Package which is fully funded by the England European Regional Development Fund Operational Programme 2014-20. Our offer was approved to purchase a Roland BN20 to expand our printing company in Sheffield. This new printing machine broadens our sticker printing capabilities and product range to help us to expand during the covid-19 situation that has had an effect on such a lot of businesses. 


So why are we so excited about this new printer? 


It's similar to a printing machine we already have but this one can print with full colour AND white ink. 


So now we can print onto clear sticker material and underpin the full colour with white ink so the printed area is opaque and you can see the image regardless of what's at the other side. Think office/shop window stickers, drinks bottle labels, car window stickers, etc 


Not forgetting that this also has a plotter cutter that can cut out printed bespoke labels to any shape or size that you'd like. So you can cut out individual letters or to the shape of your logo, even cut out to the shape of a person.... there are few limitations. 


So which new products can we print? 


  • Printed drinks bottle labels. The colour of the drink inside won't affect the colour on your label. So if the liquid is dark you can still see the lighter colours on your label. 


  • Bespoke car window stickers. You can see the printed graphic clearly without showing through the inside of the car. 


  • Printed Window Stickers for shops or offices. You can still see your window graphics despite what's on the inside. 
    Also if you want the window sticker on the inside of the window then you have to print onto clear adhesive material and use white ink to back it up. 


  • Food packaging labels for jars, bottles etc. 


  • Box labels. Maybe you want to still see the colour of the board underneath some small writing and graphics.... Now you can. 


Not forgetting, we can print other bespoke labels too onto white or metallic material and course we print many other printed products - see our products page for examples. 


Do you need help with your design? We can offer a professional design service


We are looking forward to making good use of our new printer.... So if you have any labels that you need printing then please get in touch for a competitive price. 



We are a Sheffield Printers but we can deliver to the whole of the UK.
