What Sets Our Films Apart
Scratch-resistant & UV-resistant
Coatings protect labels from mechanical stress, UV exposure, and chemicals—for applications where readability and appearance must be maintained over the long term.
Metallic & High-Quality
Metallized label films create high-quality visual effects for cosmetics, beauty, and personal care—with precise coating quality achieved through the roll-to-roll process.
Recyclable
Dunmore develops single-material solutions that take recycling requirements into account—for customers who want to design sustainable label materials.
Not all surfaces are the same
Why Label Film Requires Material Knowledge
Whether a label is affixed to a beer crate on a refrigerated shelf, remains legible under the hood of a car, or shines on a cosmetic product: The requirements differ fundamentally, and the material must be designed with that in mind from the very beginning.
Dunmore specifically engineers surfaces. This means that adhesion, surface smoothness, print receptivity, and protective properties are not left to chance, but are precisely defined through coating, metallization, and lamination.
The result is label films that perform consistently during the printing process, function reliably during post-printing processing, and deliver on their promises in actual use.
In label manufacturing, Dunmore combines several production methods into an integrated roll-to-roll process:
- Coating for print receptivity, protection, and adhesion
- Metallization for optical effects and barrier function
- Lamination for Stability, Tactile Feel, and Multilayer Structures
- Cutting & Finishing for Application-Specific Formats
This results in a material system that is tailored to your printing processes, your machines, and your end application.

Applications of Graphics & Labels
Co-Development for Graphics & Labels
Many labeling applications fail not because of the printing, but because of the material. If the surface isn’t compatible with the ink, if the film doesn’t feed smoothly in a thermal transfer process, or if the label peels off when exposed to chemicals—then that’s not a printing problem, but a material problem.
At Dunmore, we focus on co-development: We analyze your requirements—such as printing processes, application conditions, and recycling goals—and use this information to develop a material system that meets your needs. Coating, metallization, and lamination are combined in such a way that your label film performs consistently throughout the process and holds up in the application.
Dunmore develops these structures on an application-specific basis: using metallized films for reflection, lamination to create a functional composite, and additional layers when protection, adhesion, or electrical isolation must be taken into account. This results in material systems for applications that simultaneously require low weight, defined thermal performance, and reliable further processing.

Process
From the Request to the Finished Label Film
Dunmore guides you from the initial consultation all the way to a production-ready solution: in a structured and transparent manner, with technical expertise at every step.
Requirements Analysis
It all starts with your challenge: Together, we analyze your technical requirements, operating conditions, and regulatory framework.
1
Material & Layer Structure
Based on your requirements, we develop a solution: Which substrates, processes, and functional layers are suitable?
2
Samples & Tests
Before our high-performance materials go into mass production, they are tested. We manufacture samples, conduct tests, and review the results with you.
3
Process Optimization
Coating, metallization, lamination, assembly—we handle all these processes under one roof. This enables quick adjustments and short iteration cycles.
4
Readiness for mass production
If the prototypes and tests are satisfactory, we move the solution into mass production. With stable processes, documented quality, and reliable delivery—so that your product remains predictable and reproducible.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Labels & Graphics
Dunmore label films are designed for a wide range of common printing processes, including flexographic, offset, thermal transfer, laser, UV flexographic, and UV offset. The surface is specifically tailored to the respective printing process and the inks used—ensuring consistent results in mass production.
Durable labels must perform reliably under demanding conditions—such as heat, exposure to chemicals, moisture, or mechanical stress. Dunmore develops materials specifically designed for these conditions, featuring defined protective layers, strong adhesion, and long-lasting print quality.
Yes. Dunmore metallizes films using a vacuum process and can produce optical effects ranging from transparent to high-gloss metallic. Metallized label films are used, among other things, in cosmetics, beauty, and personal care applications where visual appeal and technical functionality must go hand in hand.
Recyclability is an increasingly important requirement in the label market. Dunmore develops single-material solutions and takes recycling requirements into account during material development. We would be happy to discuss which specific solutions are suitable for your application in a one-on-one conversation.
Dunmore processes roll stock with a minimum width of 500 mm. We would be happy to discuss directly with you which sizes and formats are best suited for your specific application.
