Product — printing and packaging
Satin & Polyester Labels printing, Kolkata
Satin and polyester labels carry the marks that must stay legible for the life of the product. Fotoset prints these on soft satin and coated polyester in Kolkata.
Photography, design and artwork, colour scanning, offset printing, lamination and silkscreen printing are all carried out in-house on one site. That single-vendor model is the reason exporters and overseas brands place this work with Fotoset: one purchase order, one plant accountable for the finished item, and no sheets travelling between sub-contractors.
