Confidence Beyond the Press Check
Print Quality Should Be Controlled, Measured, and Repeatable
A great first run is not enough. Brand color, registration, copy, barcodes, die-cutting, and finished-roll quality must remain dependable across repeat orders and multiple SKUs. Our quality process combines trained operators with inspection and color-control technology to identify visible defects, maintain approved standards, and reduce the risk of nonconforming labels reaching your production floor.
Three Layers of Quality Control
Technology Supports the Process. Accountability Drives It.
Inspection is most effective when print controls, finishing verification, and clear production standards work together.
Automated Image Inspection
BST TubeScan provides continuous web viewing and automated detection of relevant visible print and converting defects during applicable label-finishing workflows.
Measurable Brand Color
GMI-certified color practices support repeatable reproduction using defined targets, calibrated processes, measurement, documentation, and ongoing verification.
Final Roll Verification
Inspection at finishing helps verify usable labels, identify flagged areas, and support the removal of known defects before completed rolls are released for shipment.
BST TubeScan 100% Inspection
Continuous Inspection Across the Printed Web
At production speed, a conventional spot check sees only a small sample. TubeScan uses high-resolution camera technology and controlled illumination to monitor the web and flag visible deviations for operator review.
- Registration deviations
- Streaks and print defects
- Missing print elements
- Contamination or spots
- Missing labels
- Matrix and die-cut issues
- Barcode or variable-data checks
- Repeat and label counting
GMI-Certified Color Management
Protecting Brand Color Across SKUs and Repeat Production
GMI certification adds a measurable framework for print quality and brand-color control. That matters when a packaging program grows, when multiple versions share the shelf, and when future orders must align with an established visual standard.
- Defined color targets and tolerances
- Calibrated and controlled print processes
- Spectrophotometric measurement
- Process and spot-color verification
- Repeat-order consistency
- Multi-SKU brand alignment
- Documented production standards
- Support for retailer-driven programs
From Artwork to Finished Roll
Quality Control at the Points That Matter
Reliable output comes from controlling the complete production path—not depending on one inspection at the end.
Specification Review
Artwork, material, adhesive, finish, unwind, application, and variable-data requirements are aligned before production.
Controlled Printing
Digital or flexographic production is selected around run length, versions, color requirements, and program needs.
Automated Inspection
The printed web is continuously viewed during applicable finishing processes, with visible deviations flagged for review.
Final Verification
Completed rolls are evaluated against job requirements before release, shipment, and the customer’s application process.
What This Protects
Better Control for the Brand and the Production Floor
Brand Consistency
Help keep approved colors and graphics aligned across product families, versions, and future production runs.
Application Efficiency
Reduce the disruption created when visible print or converting defects reach labeling and packaging operations.
Variable-Data Confidence
Support inspection requirements for barcodes, serialized information, QR codes, and other changing printed elements.
Accountable Manufacturing
Work directly with a production team that can evaluate the issue, make decisions, and support corrective action.
