Lebone Paarl Labels: Quest for perfection
· 2 min read
Sophisticated self-adhesive production technologies unlock the realm of design possibilities for pressure sensitive labels (PSL), as well as ensure they are produced perfectly. Cape Town-based pressure sensitive labels (PSL) production specialists, Lebone Paarl Labels, offer clients across South Africa access to modern UV flexo self-adhesive and digital printing and finishing facilities.
“Labels and the labelling process is a highly technical space with many aspects to consider, and each market and product has its own unique set of requirements in terms of performance and compliance,” says Henk Jacobs, general manager of Lebone Paarl Labels. “For example, to produce labels for food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and healthcare products, we are FSSC 22000 (Foundation Food Safety System Certification 22000) certified.“
“The printing and supply of labels is a time-critical, precision business in which quality must never slip,” adds Henk. “Our ongoing investment in the latest pressure sensitive label printing technology positions Lebone Paarl Labels as one of South Africa’s premium label supplier, reliably delivering labels of uncompromised quality, faster and more efficiently.”
“ISO 9001 certification demonstrates our ability to consistently deliver products that meet customer and regulatory requirements at an international quality standard,” says Henk. “To ensure 100% accuracy of every label we produce, we have also installed the Nyqist Tubescan digital strobe. This 100% label inspection detection of all print defects, colour deviations and accurate counting of clients’ labels is a mandatory compliance for the pharmaceutical industry. It is applied to every label printed at Lebone Paarl Labels to ensure our customers enjoy 100% inspection of every label all the time.”
Lebone Paarl Labels has also received certification for both a Mellow Colour ISO 12647 Proficient Printer and ImpressionProof. Tight control of brand colours is essential, and instrumentation has to be precise for the demanding type of work that ImpressionProof Certified Printers undertake.
Henk concludes: “We will continue to push the boundaries of technology to raise the bar in label production to ensure we reliably deliver exceptional quality pressure sensitive labels to spotlight our clients’ brands.”

Hairy roots - a biotechnological tool for grapevine improvement
Hairy roots arise when the phytopathogenic bacterium, Rhizobium rhizogenes inserts DNA into a wounded plant’s genome, triggering the formation of rapidly growing root masses. The rapid growth and relatively fast establishment of hairy roots led to their use in laboratories, where they are used to…
To swirl or not to swirl? - that is the question... (Part 2)
This study investigated the sensory suppression effects of H2S on tropical fruit characters and evaluated whether the perceived improvement following swirling is a result of chemical oxidation or physical volatilisation.
