Onpack runs HP Indigo digital presses (liquid electrostatic ink, not generic toner-based digital), UV flexo with 10 colour stations for true Pantone spot colour at volume, and an in-house digital ABG embellishment line for hot foil, cold foil, high-build tactile varnish and soft-touch lamination. 100% camera inspection on every job. ISO9001 certified processes.
For Queensland specifically: UV-resistant substrates, humidity-tolerant adhesives and outdoor-rated materials — correct for the conditions tropical food brands, surf and marine labels, and outdoor product packaging face in QLD.
Brisbane's label suppliers — and online shops like LabEX — describe their process as "digital." Onpack runs HP Indigo, which uses liquid electrostatic ink rather than toner or inkjet. The result is a thinner, more consistent ink film — photo-grade colour depth, sharp fine detail, consistent output from first label to last. For Brisbane brand owners who've experienced colour drift between reorders, this distinction is the difference between acceptable and excellent.
For Brisbane brands with run volumes above 30,000 labels, or requiring exact spot Pantone match for retail compliance, Onpack's UV flexo press is the correct process. Up to 10 colour stations, in-line cold foil, lamination and spot UV varnish — genuine Pantone ink at volume. No Brisbane-based digital-only converter or online shop can match this without outsourcing.
Hot foil, cold foil, high-build tactile varnish, holographic substrates, soft-touch lamination, emboss, deboss, spot UV — all completed in-house. LabEX offers none of these. Most Brisbane converters outsource embellishment. Onpack handles print and finish on the same job without the coordination risk.
Queensland's outdoor, tropical food, surf and marine sectors need labels that survive UV exposure, humidity, condensation and moisture. Onpack stocks UV-resistant synthetic substrates, outdoor-rated adhesives and humidity-tolerant wet-strength papers — and can specify the correct combination for your product's storage and use environment.
Every Onpack job passes through a 100% vision camera inspection system before dispatch. Colour, register and defect detection verified across every label. ISO9001 certified. This is not standard practice at online shops or short-run digital converters.
Brisbane's Inner West, Fortitude Valley, South Bank, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast breweries run multi-SKU short-run label work on HP Indigo. Seasonal releases, limited editions, core range — all variants in one digital job at consistent colour, no plate tooling per SKU. For QLD breweries moving into cans, Onpack's direct-to-can service dispatches alongside label orders.
Queensland's food producers — tropical fruit (mango, pineapple, macadamia, avocado), cane sugar products, ginger, seafood, sauces and condiments — need labels that survive humid storage, condensation and cold chain. BOPP synthetic, wet-strength paper and oil-resistant substrates are standard. Short-run digital on HP Indigo for market launches; UV flexo for FMCG volume.
Queensland's cosmetic, skincare, sun-care and surf-lifestyle brand cluster runs premium labels — no-label-look clear, soft-touch lamination, cold foil, emboss. BOPP clear and PET white for skincare; premium coated stocks for wellness supplements. Both HP Indigo and flexo available depending on run length and colour criticality.
Surf brands, marine equipment, outdoor and adventure product labels require UV-stable inks, synthetic substrates with outdoor-rated permanent adhesives, and resistance to salt water, sunscreen and prolonged sun exposure. Onpack stocks and specifies these substrates correctly — not a guess, not the standard paper option.
Queensland medicinal cannabis operators and wellness brands — variable data (batch, lot, expiry), compliant label formats, short-run HP Indigo. 100% camera inspection for traceability requirements.
Western and southern Brisbane industrial corridor — GHS-compliant hazard labels, durable synthetic substrates (PET, BOPP), chemical-resistant overlaminates, permanent and aggressive adhesives for industrial surfaces.
Substrate | Why it matters for QLD | BOPP white and clear

PET silver and white | Chemical and abrasion resistance; metallic appearance
|
UV-stable synthetic | Outdoor, surf, marine — resists UV fade and salt exposure |
Wet-strength paper | Humid storage, ice bucket, condensation environments |
Oil-resistant synthetic | Tropical food products — olive oil, sauces, dressings, essential oils |
Humidity-tolerant adhesives | Prevents lifting in high-humidity QLD conditions |
Premium textured papers | QLD wine, spirits, premium food — Bright White Felt, Cotone Bianco |
Recycled and compostable | Certified sustainable face stocks for eco-positioned brands |
Sydney metro receives overnight road freight on standard dispatches. New jobs: HP Indigo digital runs ship in days from approved artwork; UV flexo in 1–3 weeks depending on substrate and finishing. Air freight is available for urgent requirements. Reorders of unchanged artwork are typically faster.

Yes — multi-SKU short-run beer label printing on HP Indigo is a core capability. All variants (seasonal, core range, limited edition) run in one job at consistent colour, no plate tooling per SKU. For QLD breweries moving to cans, Onpack’s direct-to-can service is available alongside label orders.
Yes. Full variable data — unique text, images, barcodes and QR codes — on every label in the run. No speed penalty, no additional setup. Used for batch tracking, serialisation, QR-linked authentication and personalisation.
From around 100 labels on HP Indigo digital — no print plates, no minimum-order penalty for multiple SKUs in the same job. UV flexo suits volumes above 3,000–5,000 labels where the plate investment is offset by lower unit cost. LabEX’s minimum is 250 for paper and 500 for metallic — and they don’t offer foil, emboss or premium finishes at any quantity.
Print-ready PDF. Variable data jobs require a structured data file (CSV or equivalent) alongside the artwork PDF. Onpack’s prepress team confirms bleed, colour mode and variable field setup before production.
