Green Solutions start with Green manufacturing processes. Reducing the impact our manufacturing processes have on the environment is a primary focus here at Commerce Label. Our water based Flexographic and Digital UV Ink processes are the cleanest, environmentally friendly print processes for package printing and label production.

DIGITAL UV INK JET
- Significantly Reduces set-up & raw material waste to landfills
- Uses less energy to operate
- UV inks contain little or no solvents
- No Ink Waste
COMMERCE MANUFACTURING
