We’ve had a great experience working with this supplier, especially with Natalie - she is always very responsive, professional, and friendly. The pricing is highly competitive and the sales service has been excellent from start to finish.If I could offer one suggestion, it would be to improve the account and invoice management process. It would be really helpful if there were a system for clients to easily track their past orders and invoices in one place.Overall, very pleased with the service and look forward to continuing our collaboration.
Absolutely brilliant service from start to finish. The team are brilliant and the product was excellent quality and exactly what I wanted. Natalie is amazing as are her colleagues. Will definitely be a returning customer. Thank you
Ive used Positive ID Labelling Ltd for all our egg box labels for many years now. Natalie is always above and beyond helpful and the service is exceptionally fast and efficient.
I inadvertently ordered the incorrect label guns which was quickly sorted by Natalie. She was excellent, customer service at its best! Thank you once again

Digital UK Label Printers
Positive ID Labels is one of the UK’s leading Digital Label Manufacturers. In recent years the UK label pritner industry has seen a quantum leap in digital technology for label production.
Digital label production offers several benefits when compared to traditional flexographic printing methods. There are two main types of digital label process used by digital label printing companies. These are toner-based or liquid inkjet-based technologies. Positive ID Labels operate 3 digital presses:
- a Xeikon 3030 dry toner printing press operating at 10m/min and 1200dpi
- a Screen TrueJet 350 UV inkjet press operating at up to 50m/min and 600dpi
- a 360dpi Jetrion 4900 digital UV inkjet printer with laser die cutting station runing at 20m/min
As one of the UK’s leading digital UK label printers, we can take advantage of not requiring fixed printing plates to produce your digital labels. This means we can create a design and print it in much the same way you might on your office or home computer. The only difference is our printers are industrial high capacity beasts!
Not having to buy printing plates is only part of the story with digital printing. Unlike most digital UK label printers, we have an inline digital laser die cutting station. Whereas other digital UK label printers will always need you to pay for cutter tooling for your labels, we do not.
Our Jetrion press can produce your labels without the need to buy any tooling whatsoever. There are no initial tooling charges for your order. Because it is an inline laser die cutting station, your labels are produced in one production sequence. This means we put on the feedstock at one end of the printing press and take off finished rolls of labels on the other! The single-step production process means less cost to us and cheaper labels for you. You can watch a video of our laser die cutting station in action here.
UV Inkjet Digital Labels v. Toner Based Digital Labels
Our digital UV inkjet also benefits from very high durability in virtually all environments. UV inkjet digital labels do not suffer from heat issues that toner-based machines can. This is because the ink ‘cures’ into the label – particularly with synthetic materials like polypropylene.
With toner based machines, the toner is melted onto the substrate making it less durable in harsh environments. The way to solve that problem is to coat with a varnish or laminate the output. The different production process is slightly more expensive but the results are beautiful.
Our UV inkjet machines print at up to 600dpi (dots per inch) – that is fine enough to need a loupe to see the inkjet dots and fine for virtually any need. The Xeikon 3030 toner based process prints at 1200dpi – a level of regfinement that lets us produce the most stunning labels with pin-sharp clarity.
Our UV inkjet machines are ideal for polypropylene and coated papers. For really high-end luxury labels, we recommend the dry-toner print method which can be used with textured papers to give your products an astonisihing level of prestige.
UK Based Plain Label Supplier
We don’t only print product labels of all types and for all industries using our digital and flexographic printing presses. Positive ID Labels is one of the foremost producers of plain labels or blank labels for thermal printing systems. We have two Daco turreted plain label converters with a range of tooling and cutters available for you to use.
- 1 x Turreted Semi-Automatic Daco Solutions PLD350 rotary die cutter
- 1 x Turreted Semi-Automatic Daco Solutions PLD250 rotary die cutter
These machines are the pinnacle of reliability and performance and capable of massive continuous production of plain labels. The larger PLD350 machine incorporates a high capacity unwind allowing the use of 6,000 metre rolls of feedstock which reduces downtime and increase throughput. Ideal for the production of courier labels in high volumes, standard 4″x4″ (102mm x 102mm) and 4″x6″ (102mm x 152mm) labels are always in production.
