Soft-Touch Roll Labels — Custom Printed by Bazaar Printing

We don't print pens. We print packaging.

Soft-Touch roll labels — a velvet-feel matte lamination layer — the premium tactile finish you see on beauty boxes and skincare bottles. Printed in-house at our downtown LA shop. Printed in-house on HP Indigo 6K, finished on Scodix and JetFX.

What we print for you

Why soft-touch on a roll label

On a roll label, soft-touch is a velvet-feel matte lamination layer — the premium tactile finish you see on beauty boxes and skincare bottles. A flat CMYK label on a shelf reads as one more SKU. The same label with a tactile or metallic finish reads as a brand that invested — and buyers reach for it. We see this with our coffee, supplement, and skincare customers every week: same artwork, same shape, same substrate, but the version with the finish picks up at twice the rate in retail tests.

On a Bazaar order, the finish layer is registered to the print on the same HP Indigo 6K press run, so it never drifts from the artwork. We don't outsource the embellishment to a partner shop — Scodix Ultra Pro and JetFX live on our floor in downtown LA. If something looks off, we catch it before it ships, not after.

How we run it (in-house, in LA)

The label gets printed on HP Indigo 6K — true digital, no plates, so we're cost-flat from 250 labels up to 25,000. From there the finish step depends on what you ordered: Scodix Ultra Pro for raised UV and digital emboss, JetFX for foil (gold, silver, rainbow, holographic), or a flood lamination station for soft-touch, gloss, and matte. Everything runs in a single production cell.

Then the labels die-cut on our ABG Digicon line, get slit and wound to your spec (3" core, outside-wound is standard), and ship out. Standard turnaround is 5 business days from artwork approval. Rush is +40% (3 days) and Express is +80% (next-day). For brands on a 14-day reorder cadence we discount 20% on Eco production.

What this finish costs you to add

Traditional label printers will quote raised UV and foil with a plate-setup fee — typically $200-$400 — that only makes sense above 5,000 labels. Bazaar runs both finishes digitally, so the cost is per-square-inch, not per-job. On a 1,000-label run, you can expect raised UV or foil to add roughly $0.15–$0.30 per label depending on coverage, with no setup fee.

We ship a free sample pack before you commit on a first order — mailed labels you can hold, feel, photograph next to your jar, and walk into a store with. If you're comparing us to an online printer, that pack alone usually settles it.

Common questions

Does the soft-touch finish add lead time?

No additional lead time — the finish layer runs in-line with the print on the same production cell at our LA shop. Standard turnaround applies (5 business days for labels, 7–10 for pouches and cartons).

What does soft-touch cost compared to standard print?

On digital roll label runs, soft-touch typically adds 10–30% to the per-unit price depending on coverage. There are no plate or setup fees — unlike traditional printers who'd quote a $200–$500 tooling charge.

Where is Bazaar Printing located?

We're at 306 Boyd Street in downtown Los Angeles, in the Arts District / Skid Row Industrial border. Walk-in pickup is free during business hours. We also ship national via UPS and FedEx, and rush courier within Southern California.

How fast can you ship?

Standard turnaround is 5 business days for labels, 7–10 days for pouches and cartons, from approved artwork. Rush (3 business days) is +40%. Express (next-day) is +80% where production capacity allows. Eco turnaround (14 days, batched production) gets a 20% labels / 10% pouches discount.
