Product Headline
Using only digital printing on FSC-certified PP silver film, this label solution creates a rich metallic shine without having to use foil stamping or lamination, resulting in a lower-waste process. In contrast to traditional premium label production – which can involve printing, foiling, and finishing – this process encapsulates those effects in a single digital printing action. The label’s face is composed of a glossy metallized polypropylene film combined with a permanent water-based acrylic adhesive and an FSC-certified white glassine paper liner. The labels are produced on a Konica Minolta AccurioLabel 400 digital press which prints up to 3600 × 2400 dpi resolution, producing its effects with no additional foil rolls or metal dies. The process also allows for different text and graphics on each label without slowing production. The final printed labels capture vibrant color and fine detail, with no additional lamination needed to achieve the glossy, premium finish.

What sets your product apart and why is it innovative and special?
DinoLabelDigital’s solution delivers the look of traditional foil-stamped, embossed labels using purely digital means. Unlike conventional premium label production—often involving multiple steps & waste (printing, then foiling, finishing)—our process consolidates both into one digital print run. This approach eliminates the need for metal dies and foil films, drastically reducing setup time and waste.
The innovation lies in democratizing luxury packaging: high-impact metallic designs are no longer limited to large budgets and long print runs. We also unlock creative flexibility like incorporation of variable metallic elements and fine details (like micro-text or gradients) with precision. In short, our product marries couture packaging visuals with the agility and sustainability of digital technology, setting a new benchmark for what’s possible in beauty packaging.
How do you promote your product on multiple channels?
Social Media & Online Presence: We harness visually-rich platforms to showcase our labels’ impact. On Instagram, we share photos and videos of finished product packages glinting with our metallic labels. These posts often use hashtags like #luxurypackaging and #sustainablelabels to reach a broader beauty audience. LinkedIn is used for company & event update – we publish about upcoming events & blogs. On YouTube, we upload behind-the-scenes demos of our digital press printing the various labels in educating and exciting packaging designers about the technology.
Content Marketing: Our website features a blog and resource center where we post articles on topics such as “Varnish V/s Lamination” and “Packaging Trends for 2025.” These pieces establish us as thought leaders and drive organic search traffic from brands looking for eco-friendly packaging solutions. We also leverage email newsletters to keep subscribers (indie brand owners and packaging professionals) informed of new projects, material options, and tips for designing with metallic effects.
Trade Shows & Events: We actively participate in leading exhibitions like Cosmoprof and Brews & Spirit. At our booth, we display sample products with our PP-Silver labels under various lighting to catch attendees’ eyes. Such events let us engage directly with brand decision-makers; we often follow up by sending personalized sample kits to interested contacts after the show.
How does your product meet the evaluation criteria of its category?
• Innovation: Our label exemplifies innovation through its novel use of digital printing to achieve a luxury finish previously only possible with analog processes. By integrating a metallized material, we created a new solution in label embellishment – one that delivers a metallic design without using any embellishment. This creative approach merges material science and digital tech in a way to offer packaging designers a brand-new capability.
• Sustainability: The label sets a high bar for sustainable design. It eliminates wasteful elements (no disposable foil films, no stamping dies) and significantly cuts down on production waste and energy. The PP-Silver material and its FSC-certified paper liner align with circular economy principles (responsibly sourced and more easily recyclable than multi-material embellishment). Furthermore, digital on-demand production means we print only what is needed – avoiding overproduction and excess inventory waste, which is a key sustainability win for brands.
What is you brand commitment to sustainability, ethical practices, and social responsibility? Please describe.
Sustainable Materials & Processes: DinoLabelDigital was founded on the principle of using sustainable sourced materials & reducing waste in packaging. We carefully select materials that meet high standards – for example, our primary label stocks are FSC-certified or contain recycled content whenever possible. Our digital printing process inherently produces less waste (no plates, minimal setup scrap). By printing on-demand, we avoid excess production and disposal of unused labels, helping clients reduce their own environmental footprint.
Carbon Footprint & Circularity: We continuously invest in equipment and practices that lower our carbon footprint. Our Konica Minolta digital press is energy-efficient, and we schedule production to maximize output and reduce idle energy use. We also prioritize suppliers who embrace circular economy practices.
Community & Ethical Practices: Beyond environmental impact, we uphold ethical business practices at every level. Our company maintains fair labor conditions, providing a safe, inclusive workplace with opportunities for employee growth and training. We ensure compliance with all labor and safety regulations, and we expect the same standards from our supply chain partners. Transparency is important to us – we communicate honestly with clients about material options and will advise when a more eco-friendly substrate is available for a project.
Giving Back & Initiatives: DinoLabelDigital actively gives back to the planet and community. Our “Label for Tomorrow” program plants a tree for every order – contributing to reforestation and climate action in partnership with a local environmental NGO. We also participate in industry sustainability pledges, committing to waste reduction targets and publicly sharing our progress. By integrating these practices, we aim to minimize our environmental footprint and set an example in the packaging industry that luxury and ethics can go hand-in-hand.

Thus, our labels meet major health and safety standards for use on consumer products. DinoLabelDigital is also awarded FCS Chain-of-Custody certification to further solidify our commitment to sustainable sourcing. Internally, we maintain quality control aligned with ISO 9001 principles and follow strict safety/environmental guidelines as per ISO 14001. Further, we ensure all toner, inks and substrates are RoHS-compliant (free of restricted hazardous substances) as part of our ethical manufacturing practice.
Patents: We currently hold no patents on this product. The innovation is a clever combination of digital printing technologies (digital press + specialty material) rather than a singular patented invention. We have trademarked our brand name and continue to invest in R&D.
