címkenyomás

Címkenyomás is a printing and application process used to create labels that identify, describe, or provide information about products, packaging, or documents. The term combines címke (label) and nyomás (printing or pressing) and covers a range of techniques and materials used in labeling workflows.

Modern címkenyomás relies on several printing technologies, including flexographic, offset, digital inkjet or laser printing. Substrates can be self-adhesive label stock, paper or film labels, and finishes may include coatings, laminates or varnishes to improve durability and legibility. Labels commonly carry text, logos, barcodes, QR codes and safety or regulatory information.

The typical workflow involves designing the label, preparing artwork for printing (prepress), selecting the appropriate substrate and adhesive, printing with the chosen method, and applying finishing steps such as die-cutting or lamination. Finally, labels are applied to products, packaging, or shipping materials using labeling equipment or manual methods.

Applications of címkenyomás are widespread in manufacturing, logistics and retail. It is used for product labeling, import and export documentation, asset tagging, and regulatory or safety labeling. In industries such as food, pharmaceutical and chemical shipments, label quality and durability are particularly important for traceability and compliance with information standards.

Historically, label printing evolved from traditional printing processes, with the advent of self-adhesive label stock and automation expanding its use. In the European context, labeling requirements emphasize legibility, accuracy and durable printing to ensure reliable information throughout a product’s lifecycle.
