Backed up by our industry specific ERP system, Label Traxx, we offer our customers complete traceability, consistency of print quality and guarantees supply chain insurance throughout the group.
Our capabilities span a wide range of substrates and finishes — from coated and uncoated papers to craft, metallised materials, and films.
We produce self-adhesive, digital, linerless, peel & reveal, C-wrap, laminated, reverse-printed, sheeted, and sequentially numbered labels, delivering precision, flexibility, and performance for every application.
Take a look below to see the differences between using Pressure Sensitive and Digital Labels.
These are self-adhesive labels with a pre-applied adhesive that stick when pressed onto a surface. They can be printed using various methods, including flexographic, offset, or digital.
These are created using digital printing technology (e.g., HP Indigo). They offer high-quality, high-speed, variable data printing (like custom names) and are ideal for small, cost-effective batches.
Digital printing is frequently used to print on pressure-sensitive substrates (paper or film)
From hot and cold foil to embossing, laminates, screen print, tactile varnishes, metallic inks, and unique die cuts, our embellishments deliver standout impact. With options like peel & reveal, multiply, reverse printing, and premium finishes — gloss, matt or satin — we combine creativity and precision for labels that truly differentiate.
At Watershed, our dedicated teams deliver personalised, customer-focused solutions while championing sustainable practices. By combining advanced print technology with eco-friendly materials and processes, we help your brand stand out on any surface—responsibly, efficiently, and with care for the planet.
