Print your own colour labels
Published:  09 January, 2009

In the past almost all labels that a garden centre or nursery printed themselves were just in black and white. They provided important information but had little visual impact. The fact is that colour pictures help sell your plants so any system you use must have the ability to print in full colour. Greenfield Software Ltd is a market leading software developer of systems for garden centres and nurseries. Based in Cambridgeshire they supply systems to businesses of all sizes throughout the UK and Ireland, and their HLS Pro+ labelling system enables you to easily create the colour labels and point of sale material that can give your company the edge.

HLS Pro+ can be bought with a database of 10,000 plant names and descriptions and can be linked in with Greenfield's optional picture libraries. You can also link in your own jpeg images. HLS Pro+ enables you to design the label layout as you want with the ability to add your logo and contact details to personalise the labels. Some label types can automatically be printed on both sides with your details on one side and the plant information on the other.

OKI printers

Greenfield is the only OKI Premier Partner specifically serving the horticultural market so they are in an ideal position to advise on which printer is best for your needs. OKI printers have become the standard for colour label printing because they have a straight paper path which means that you can print thicker media or media with perforations. It also enables you to print banners up to 1.2m long which are ideal for special promotions or signage.

As well as producing stunning colour labels OKI printers are also general office printers so can be used for all of your normal printing. You can use them to print a wide range of specialist media such as business cards, menus, flyers and leaflets. There are models for A4 and A3 printing.

Labels

For colour printing to work you need to have a label that can cope with the rigours of outdoor life.  Greenfield supply labels that have been tested thoroughly for extended outdoor use and in a range of styles and shapes which is expanding all of the time. A wide range of sizes are currently available from small self-adhesive labels up to A3 bed cards and 1.2m long banners.
