vDesign is Web-based software that produces three-dimensional virtual prototypes of bottles based on customers’ computer-assisted-design samples.

6 Shrink-Sleeved Prototypes
www.mcdowelllabel.com
This package is an example of McDowell Label’s HDUV 4.0 combination printing technology, which can be used for both high-volume and prototype packaging. The featured package was printed on a white, micro-voided shrinkable film, which the company says is one of the most sustainable packaging films available for shrink sleeves. This film is naturally opaque, provides UV protection, features a 70% shrink curve, and has a “soft-touch” feel.

Roland’s new ECO-UV S ink is offered in CMYK and white for wide-format VersaUV inkjet devices, including the 64" LEJ-640 printer and 54"and 30" LEC series printer/cutters.
