03 · Volume (labels)
Minimum run for this technology: 100,000 labels (the fruit line runs high volume). The larger the run, the lower the cost per thousand: from 50,000 to 250,000+ pieces the unit price drops by 15% to 35%.
Every project is different
Get the guidance and technical development of a professional.
Dimensions, container, materials, and finishes change the price of every label — that's why your project's exact price is set in the formal quote, not on an online price list; reference per-thousand ranges are published in our pricing guide. Your advisor prepares the quote with a plotter proof before the run.

Features
What sets it apart.
Each technology solves a specific technical challenge. Here is what distinguishes it from the rest of the catalog.
Directly on the fruit
Direct-food grade adhesive compliant with FDA 21 CFR 175.105 for contact with the peel of fruits and vegetables.
Low caliper
Ultra-thin 30-40 micron film that adapts to the curvature of the fruit without wrinkles or lifted edges.
Residue-free peel
The adhesive comes off the peel cleanly at consumption: no residue or glue is left on the product.
Withstands the cold chain
Adhesive and ink formulated to withstand moisture, condensation and cold room temperatures without peeling or smearing.
Packing line compatible
Rolls with punched holes for high-speed automatic packing lines (Maf RODA, Gries, Sunkist, etc.) with no jams.
PLU and barcode
Printing of PLU (Price Look-Up) codes, EAN-13, GS1 DataBar and QR for point-of-sale management and traceability.

Design validation
Your design, approved before production.
We secure your design's quality before the print run: a physical sample printed with your artwork — a minimum of 80% similarity with the on-press result, which can exceed 90% — so you can approve it and move to production at no extra cost.
Plotter proof
We print your design on the proofing plotter to secure quality before production: a physical sample with your artwork and a minimum of 80% similarity with the on-press result — it can exceed 90%. You approve color, registration, and finishes on something you can hold in your hand.
Approval → production
With your sign-off you move to production at no additional cost: validation is part of the quality protocol. What you approved is what gets produced, with full confidence in print-run quality.
The complete cycle — proof, approval, and start-up — is included in your order: zero added cost for securing quality.
