Now, in October 2009, AM Labels has yet again expanded its production capacity with the purchase of a brand new rotary die cutting machine.

With the new machine being purpose built for production of blank labels for over printing using thermal transfer or direct thermal printers, this increases AM Labels capacity to produce colour printed labels using its existing machinery.

The D250 has the facility to be loaded with a master bulk roll of labels, die cut, with a given number of labels over its width and then slit the product onto the final roll cores.

I never thought I’d hear those words in the same sentence. If you’ve been wondering what’s going on with the labels on your beer, wait no more.

“Beck’s has unveiled a range of limited edition labels designed by musicians Ladyhawke and Hard-Fi that will appear on all 275ml bottles and secondary packaging this month.

The musicians were commissioned under Beck’s ‘Music Inspired Art’ scheme and their work will appear on 16 million bottles of Beck’s in bars and shops.

Ladyhawke and Hard-Fi, who have designed two labels each, join a list of previous collaborators that includes Damien Hurst, Tracey Emin and Gilbert & George.

Ladyhawke, aka Pip Brown, worked with her artistic collaborator Sarah Larnach on the label designs.

“It’s been a lot of fun creating the labels for Beck’s and we both feel honoured to have a long list of talented artistic collaborators,” said Brown.

Hard-Fi’s lead vocalist Richard Archer said: “As a band we’ve always tried to make our album sleeves say more than just the title of the record and the name of the band, and being involved with Beck’s ‘Music Inspired Art’ gives us the opportunity of taking that to another medium and level.””
