While the men's grooming industry remains a niche market, men are now a multibillion-dollar growth opportunity for the personal care industry. A new generation of image-conscious male consumers focused on personal wellness is driving that growth as they aim to improve their appearance. With attitudes towards traditional male grooming shifting, men are now diversifying into skincare regiments using products such as moisturizers, face scrubs, and anti-aging creams to improve their physical appearance. 

When it comes to beauty labels, aesthetics and quality are key factors. Labels produced for this industry require a stunning look and need to be durable. For most beauty brands, labels are not going to be a one-size-fits-all solution as various product packaging and containers might require labels of different shapes and sizes.

We’ve expanded significantly in all sectors compared to this same time last year (2017); increased figures in booth attendance, request for in-person demos, and overall sales.

Until recently, customers who desired high quality, opaque white underprinting results had one choice: traditional off-set printing. While the quality and cost per print were excellent, there were downsides; high set-up costs that can only be compensated by large volume production runs.

Some years ago, the executives at UniNet^® recognized a significant capability gap between digital and analog white printing that needed to change; not only for clients currently printing with off-set, but for clients with short-run printing needs whose only option had been the time-consuming, and multi-pass printing process.

January 2018 marked the global launch of Uninet’s newest printer; The iColor^® 550– the world’s most versatile 8.5” x 11” / A4 transfer printing technology.

The iColor^® 550 is a game-changer in the transfer printing industry, and the digital printer our sales team has been asking for. If you haven’t had the opportunity to see the iColor^® 550 in action, you are missing out; it’s small but mighty. This 8.5” x 11” / A4 transfer printer delivers maximum versatility; full-color + spot white overprint / underprint capabilities, featuring dynamic performance that provides significant time and cost savings.
