Functional label and method for producing a functional label

Abstract

A method of manufacturing a functional label includes providing a source material having one or more label layers and performing a first printing process and thereby forming a print on the source material using a first printing device. The method further includes performing a first die cutting process and thereby forming a functional die cut in the source material using a first die cutting device. The method further includes performing a second printing process separate from the first printing process and thereby forming a digital print on the source material using a second printing device. The method further includes performing a second die-cutting operation separate from the first die cutting operation and thereby forming a format die-cut in the source material using a second die cutting device and thereby forming the functional label.
