About Us

Established in 1980 Windmill has grown year on year to become a leading manufacturer of printed and plain labels & printed tape including:

• Vinyl PVC
• Low noise polypropylene
• Hot melt polypropylene
• Solvent polypropylene
• Pipe line ID tape
• LDPE polythene barrier tape
• Hazard warning diamonds
• Gummed paper tape
• Heatseal banding tape
• Lane marking tape
• Plain and printed labels

Our growth has been supported by significant investment in plant & machinery.  We currently have 18 presses with the capability to print upto 8 colours (printed labels) and 3 colours (printed tapes).  Our monthly output on printed tapes exceeds 140,000 rolls and 10’s of millions of printed labels.

In turn, this means that our lead-times are often amongst the most competitive in the market place (see customer testimonials' for their opinion!)

Our experienced in-house artwork department uses the latest Apple Mac computers and industry-standard Adobe Creative Suite software to ensure that your ideas are converted into the best possible format for flexographic printing.

If you would like to supply us with print-ready digital artwork, the main application we use is Adobe
Illustrator so ‘vector’ graphic files such as AI or EPS are ideal, especially if you need a fast turnaround time
at the proofing stage.

If you are unable to provide high resolution artwork, a low resolution file or hard copy such as an existing
sample may be used as a template for re-drawing.

Whichever way you supply your design, we will always be able to discuss it with you and offer advice from the initial brief through to the final proof. Please feel free to contact us for more detailed information about file formats and points to consider when creating artwork for printing on tape (printed tapes) or labels.
