9. Booklet Labels
A booklet label is quite simple in its construction - having a pressure sensitive or tag stock base
ply with a top ply that has been folded once or twice, and then pasted and sealed to the base ply
along two edges or over-laminated completely to seal in the folded booklet portion. Everything is
done in-line, in-one pass including printing, varnishing, folding, gluing, and die-cutting. Booklets
of 3, 5, 7, or 9 panels can be die-cut into complex shapes and finished roll to roll.
Applications
• In-Store Coupon Label
• Product Warranty Label
• Product Information Label
• Recipes
• Cross-Marketing Applications
(variable imaging available)
10. Coupon Labels
The Coupon label is a custom coated, pressure sensitive label that has been coated in such a
fashion that allows the top layer of the label construction to be peeled off cleanly and used as a
coupon or other bounce-back or leave-behind device. To produce this unique construction, all
you need is a roll of plain-coated paper, plastic film or card stock and a roll of pressure sensitive
label stock or clear film, coupon-base, pressure sensitive label stock. Once laminated together,
the top ply peels off cleanly to be retained or used instantly by the consumer.

17. Digital Labels
Bertek Systems now offers high quality, digitally-printed, 4-color process labels with no plate
charges, no die charges, quick turnaround, and instant pricing.
Our digitally-printed labels are run on an EFI Jetrion digital press that offers UV cured inks –
unlike the more common water-based ink jet or toner based solutions. This means that you will
receive high quality, vibrantly printed labels that offer greater durability than competing
technologies.
Our labels are printed digitally and then finished off-line to add die-cutting, perfs, laminates and
roll configuration to meet your requirements. All die cutting is accomplished via a revolutionary
laser die cutting system – therefore NO DIE CHARGES. Without tooling charges, you’ll be able to
order small quantities at economical prices. Create multiple versions of a product label with NO
PLATE CHANGES. We offer a wide selection of label stock materials from which to choose –
papers, synthetics, fluorescents, metallics, tag, environmental, even UL approved!
