Printing Quality Overview
|
|
Depending on your needs, finished labels pass through one to three
inspection stations. At each, strobe lights ‘freeze’
every label so that imperfections—anything from a slight
smudge to a broken letter—can be picked out and the offending
label replaced. The final station also verifies the accuracy of
the count. At one of “machine revision”, a TV camera check each and every label… assuring 100% perfection without the possibility of human error.
Each job order is accompanied by a checklist documenting every
inspection procedure. It also lists, by batch number, all materials
used to make a label for future reference.
All the protocols in the world won’t do, however, unless
staff are committed to carrying them out. Blue Ribbon staff members
are dedicated to maintaining our high standards of quality. |
The quality of our labels is of vital significance to our future. Many of our customers are from the pharmaceutical industry, where a label error could result in a huge and costly recall. So perfection gets to be the basic standard at Blue Ribbon. That carries over into making our other labels. Blue Ribbon’s quality assurance program has worked for many years to keep our customers satisfied and our labels almost always perfect.
To assure consistent and continuous quality, Blue Ribbon adopted a Quality Security & Accountability Control (QSAC) program that meets the federal standards for labeling drug, food, and cosmetic products. Following its guidelines, Blue Ribbon has maintained a 100% perfect track record.

Quality Assurance Programs |
QSAC starts with customer approval of materials for the label.
The raw materials are checked to be sure they meet specifications.
Customers approve artwork before plates are made; this includes
reviewing all text to go on the label.
On press, a ‘make-ready’ sample is examined by the Plant
Manager, who checks the quality of the plates and the color match. Every 8,000 feet, an abrasion test is performed on the ink and
the drying lamps are checked. Press personnel inspect the labels
under strobe lights and flag any ink problems so that those labels
can be destroyed. |
