QUALITY

We offer innovative and certified solutions for your company, always in full respect of the environment.

Our quality

The quality of our labels and sleeves begins with the design: purpose, requirements, revisions, and validation. Everything is documented according to ISO 9001 to truly achieve what is needed and ensure fitness for use. Then come the choices: inspired by GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards, the latest advances in graphic and packaging technology, careful analysis of every non-conformity, and decades of experience.

Excellence is in Arca’s DNA, and perhaps for this reason, our labels always have something extra. The selection of materials, laboratory testing, the best printing machines, automated control systems that inspect 100% of the product, and the checklist that documents the passion and pride of our operators. Finally, the batch release, carried out by experts attentive to every detail.

Total quality management costs nothing. On the contrary, it generates profits by reducing waste, avoiding returns and disputes, and above all, guaranteeing customer satisfaction. The satisfaction of customers who have chosen Arca.

A thorough quality control

Quality is built throughout the production process by doing things right from the start, following rigorous and documented procedures carried out by responsible operators using a detailed checklist.

We also have dedicated functions specifically focused on quality control of each production batch before shipment to the customer. The “batch release” is carried out by specialized personnel and automatic equipment; samples of the produced labels are systematically compared to the customer-approved graphic files and subjected to specific tests depending on the type of label and the target market sector.

Troubleshooting occurs within our production cycle, to avoid any inconveniences for customers and ensure prompt intervention.

Arca’s “Quality Control” lab is perfectly well equipped with instruments that are periodically calibrated and validated, conducting all primary FINAT tests (International Federation of processors and producers of self-adhesive materials). The laboratory therefore supports incoming material control procedures, examinations of claims with technical causes, and above all, research and testing to find appropriate solutions to meet all customer requirements.

Our advantages
In-house pre-print

All printing plates are produced internally for better control of the production process and to ensure absolute flexibility in planning and execution. We have all conventional printing systems: flexography, lithography, screen printing, hot foil stamping, and mixed techniques. The related printing plates—polymer clichés, plates, flat and rotary screens—are manufactured in Arca’s prepress department using the latest CTP (computer-to-plate) processes, which employ eco-friendly, solvent-free washing systems. Eliminating the photographic film step (CTF) removes the risk of mechanical damage, improves definition, and guarantees maximum precision in image placement on the plates.

With digital printing, graphic files are transmitted directly from Desktop Publishing (which uses cutting-edge specialized software) to the printing machine, speeding up the process and eliminating the costs and risks of plate deterioration. Thanks to our advanced in-house prepress services, we ensure flexibility and complete quality control of the graphic process right from the start!

Material traceability

Both raw materials and auxiliary materials (inks, varnishes, foils, etc.) used for each production batch are precisely tracked. All self-adhesive raw materials are identified upon receipt by type of face stock, adhesive, silicone backing, supplier, and order destination. At every stage of the conversion process, automated optical systems guarantee traceability (through warehouses and production departments), which is recorded in the order documentation and embedded in the core of each label roll. This allows Arca to immediately trace material batches in case of any non-conformity, isolate potentially affected batches, and intervene knowledgeably.

The material traceability system for quality purposes is fully integrated with inventory logistics management: exact quantities consumed during production are recorded and automatically deducted from stock. Maximum efficiency, no waste, no stockouts.

Digital printing and just-in-time deliveries

Digital technology (toner and inkjet) enables us to provide an unbeatable service for small batches, even divided into many variants. Arca customers can secure the best offset quality at affordable prices without bearing the costs of physical printing plates.

Thanks to a modern, integrated information system covering all stages of ordering, prepress, and production, orders can be processed quickly, minimizing errors and maximizing efficiency.

Medium-to-large print runs, which become even more cost-effective when produced using conventional printing techniques, can be stored in a dedicated warehouse maintained by Arca. Customers can request periodic deliveries based on their needs, receiving what they need, when they need it, and always rely on immediate availability in case of urgency.
