We offer brand owners the security of knowing that they will receive the highest quality printing on their labels, cartons, sleeves, or inserts for the best presentation to their customers.

WHAT WE OFFER

Professionalism in Printing & Graphics

LABELS

We offer printing runs of up to ten colors on our flexo presses with both water-based and UV ink options. Using a variety of papers, films, and foils, in tandem with our multi-web presses, we supply our customers with a broad range of options for pressure sensitive labels and coupons. We also offer digital printing, utilizing extended gamut CMYKOVG technology to open up the Pantone color pallet.

The combination of both digital and flexo printing provides you the versatility to target markets at your brand launch and revise graphics as needed based on results. You can then move into the larger volume print runs knowing you do not have to make an initial commitment that cannot be changed. We can also work with your purchasing team to manage your label inventory and provide Just-in-Time (JIT) printing.

LABEL APPLICATORS

In addition to providing the labels you need for your retail packaging, Atlantic can also provide labeling equipment to incorporate into your packaging line (See our Packaging Equipment Program). Our sales and technical service team audit your operation in order to set you up with the best possible label applicator for your needs. Our labeling technicians will install, integrate, and maintain your equipment to ensure the best long-term performance for your machine and to incorporate any upgrades needed to keep up with your production.

“We can help our customer take their product from the time of manufacturing all the way to the retail shelf. We can support them through their whole life cycle, from inception and initial product launch to applying labels and shipping them out to retail stores. We are trusted by some of the most established household brand names.”

— Beth Whiteside, Digital and Flexo Printing

CARTONS

Our offset carton operation includes multiple Heidelberg presses with up to seven-color printing plus a dedicated aqueous coating unit. Our finishing equipment includes multiple die cutters and folder-gluers that can handle board calipers ranging from 10pt to 36pt. Our in-house graphic and structural design teams can help your vision for packaging come to life.

Our knowledgeable packaging team has over multiple decades of experience in the folding carton industry.

We can take your package idea from inception to store shelves. Starting with your product samples, we can create a carton that will both protect and display your brand. Our graphic designers can then take the structure die line and add eye-catching graphics that will make your product stand out on the shelf. We can make 3D mock-ups of the cartons with graphics so you know exactly how your product is going to look in stores before running the full production order.

SHRINK SLEEVES

Shrink sleeves are an ever-popular form of retail packaging. With designers pushing the limits on package shape, shrink sleeves provide a solution to custom container decoration. Add the offering of 360° degree billboard graphics, and you have a dynamic presentation. They also offer the brand owner the chance to stock one style bottle and change the graphics on an as-needed basis.

Learn More About Shrink Sleeves.

We offer up to 10-color printing on a variety of shrink films and work with your designers to engineer die lines for maximizing the display of your graphics. Supplying you with three-dimensional proofing allows you to see the product’s full rotation in real time. We can also accommodate quicker revisions before moving forward to digital printing on the final shrink material. These can then be applied to your container to provide the closest example to the final product.

COMMERCIAL PRINT

Our commercial printing capabilities include both digital and offset presses with up to six-color printing. Our presses handle a multitude of fine papers and can print on some of the thinest stocks. Our bindery equipment includes several Polar Guillotine Cutters, MBO Folders, and Saddle Stitchers.

Our digital department features the new Xerox Color 1000 which can print two-sides, fold, collate, and stitch all in-line. This machine is ideal for those with short run needs. However, if your order has volume, Atlantic features a Heidelberg SM 102 Press with Perfecting capabilities 5/1 or 4/2.

Our advanced equipment selection allows us to fulfill your commercial printing needs both efficiently and cost-effectively.

SCALABILITY

Have you ever been nervous before committing to new graphics when going to market with a new launch? How about placing that next order for labels or cartons when you just know that there are changes coming up? Or maybe you are carrying more inventory than needed just to get better unit pricing…

We can help with all of this!

We prefer to work closely with our customers to learn their needs in order to put together a program that increases their efficiencies and decreases obsolete print packaging. Our combination of digital and traditional analog printing provides you with options. This also allows us to react to time critical situations by being able to provide short runs quickly while tooling up for the big picture. Add to this our various warehouse locations, and we can work with you to offer methods and print schedules to keep your graphics relevant, current with industry regulations, and available when you need them to keep your inventory under control.

COLOR CONSISTENCY

We know that one of the most damaging impressions for your brand is inconsistency on the retail shelf. When a customer looks at your product and all of its packaging, the logos and colors should all match.

When various packaging components are printed at different vendors, the chance of color inconsistency increases. We manufacture a wide range of retail packaging, so you can consolidate your vendors and ensure consistency across all of your packaging supplies.

Our strict quality standards allow us to verify color consistency and quality across your folded cartons, labels, shrink sleeves, and inserts. The shelf appearance between all of these pieces of packaging speak to the product inside. Inconsistent packaging can lend an impression of an inconsistent, low-quality product. 

We are your one-stop shop for all your package printing needs of the highest quality and consistency.
