Frequently asked questions

The calculator prices your order in real time — enter the dimensions, pick a material, a finish and a quantity, and the price appears immediately. No more waiting hours for a quote by email.

The calculator price covers printing and standard finishing. VAT and shipping (depending on the method and destination you choose) you can see and confirm in the cart before payment.

Enter the total number of labels across all designs. For example, 5,000 labels can later be split into 5 rolls of 1,000 or 10 rolls of 500 — you set that in the roll configuration after you add the item to your cart.

Yes, as long as every design shares the same size, material and finish. Set the number of designs in the calculator and the total quantity will be split across them.

Enter approximate values — you'll get a realistic price range. If you need help with the material or roll specification, write to us and we will help you choose.

That is your call. When ordering you can set an exact label count per roll (500, 1,000, 2,000 and so on) or a maximum outer roll diameter. The finished roll never exceeds what you specify.

We offer the industry standards: 40 mm and 76 mm cores. If your machine needs a different size, just write to us.

The unwind direction determines how the label leaves the roll (top, bottom or side first). If you use an automatic applicator, always check its requirements first. If you apply by hand, the standard direction is fine.

Photograph your current roll or product and send it over. We'll help you pick the right standard (1 to 8) so your line doesn't stall.

It depends on the product and its environment:

• Food and beverages — self-adhesive paper or film with food-safety certification
• Cosmetics — PP film, including clear or silver for a premium look
• Freezer and moisture — film with a dedicated freezer adhesive and protective coating
• Chemical environments — high-durability PP or PE film

Not sure? Describe the product and its storage conditions and we will recommend the ideal combination.

We offer standard (permanent), removable, freezer-grade and specialist adhesives such as wash-off for beverage bottles. The key thing to know is the surface the label goes on — glass, plastic or cardboard.

Varnish (gloss or matt) is the standard protective coating — it seals the ink and gives a finished look. Lamination is a physical film layer over the label: far more durable, and the right choice for products exposed to abrasion, moisture or oils.

Yes — digital foil (gold/silver), textured screen varnish, perforation and variable data printing (serial numbers, barcodes, QR codes). The calculator shows the base price; we quote more complex projects individually.

A print-ready PDF (PDF/X-4 or PDF/X-1a) with the die line included and 3 mm bleed. We also accept AI or EPS. Every file is checked before printing — if something is off, we will contact you.

Goldinken specialises in production — we print the files you supply. We do not currently offer design services, but we can recommend partner designers.

Yes — a proof print with your own artwork is available as a separate order in the calculator. You see exactly how the colours, material and effects will look before the full run.

CMYK colour space. Convert Pantone colours to CMYK before saving. If we print on clear or metallic material, mark the white in your file as a "White" spot colour.

The whole process is online: calculator → upload artwork in the portal → payment → file check → printing → delivery. Around the clock, with no email back-and-forth.

No. You can order as few as 100 labels for a test batch of a new product.

Standard lead time is 7–9 working days after artwork approval. If you needed the labels yesterday, get in touch and we'll find a way to speed it up.

Yes — the client portal keeps your full order history and artwork. A reorder takes three clicks, with no hunting for files.

Card payment or bank transfer. Your invoice is always available in the client portal.

Yes. Enter your company details and VAT number — a full VAT invoice is generated automatically and made available in the portal.

Yes — a free sample pack by post: materials, finishes and print quality you can feel before you decide. The samples carry our own design; a proof print with your artwork is a separate service. Request samples →

• Material samples — a standard pack without your design, for judging materials and quality. Free.
• Proof print — a real batch with your own design ahead of the full run, so you see exactly how the finished product will look. Paid service.
