Our Full Spectrum of Print-Finishing and Imaging Services
Barcoding / UPC / QR
In our digital world, bar coding has become essential.
We typeset, imprint and image all types of bar codes and security information, UPC, code 3 of 9, interleave 2 of 5, on roll labels, paper sheets, and folded and stitched pieces. We understand the technologies, their possibilities and limitations. Our cutting-edge equipment and sophisticated software ensures the accuracy of your job.
Correction Work
Some people might say that this isn't the place to admit mistakes.
But when our clients make them, we fix them. We can't reveal whose printing materials we've saved or who still has a job as a result of our ability to keep a finished product out of a landfill.
We block out incorrect words and add omitted information to a finished piece (even on the inside), and we make the correction look as good as the original printing. After you've kicked yourself (but before your deadline), give us a call.
Suffice it to say, we've salvaged advertising budgets and people's jobs for decades.
(But we'll keep it just between us.)

We love it when clients begin a sentence with "I couldn't find anyone who could do this, so I decided I'd call you..."
Whether it's done by machine or by hand, we can find a more efficient way to do it. We assemble kits, create P.O.P displays, collate, insert and construct whatever you can imagine. Over the decades, we've combined some rather unusual tasks to make our clients' products stand apart from those of their competitors. Call us before everyone else tells you they can't do it.

Poly-Bagging
Why spend time and money designing a "killer" advertisement, only to conceal it in an envelope?
Poly-bagging and shrink wrapping are inexpensive and durable alternatives that offer the advantage of enclosing multiple pieces in one unit.
Packages can be as thin as a few sheets or up to 3.5" thick and from 3.5"x 6" to 12"x48".
We poly-bag or shrink wrap multiple components for kits or label packages for direct mail campaigns. Let your designs shine, and capture your target audience the moment they pick up your piece.
Shrink Wrapping
Keep it altogether new, with our state-of-the-art high speed shrink wrapping systems. Keep your product looking like the day it was manufactured. By shrink wrapping you have insured your product will arrive with the same quality you designed it around. Let us protect and preserve your investments. Give us a call.

Numbering/Imaging
One page isn't nearly enough space to list all of the uses for numbering: coupons, gift cards, lottery tickets... And that's just a start! We number on paper, plastic, card stock and a wide variety of other substrates. Numbering helps you maintain order, informs you of response location, discourages counterfeiting and adds another level of security. It all adds up. You can really count on numbering. We can even increase a response by covering the number with the enticing draw of Scratch off.
Our capabilities range from 2x3 cards to full size 23x35 posters; from single sheets to 1" thick catalogs. Number sizes range from 1/8" to 8", as many as 255 digits to more than 100 positions on a sheet.
Variations of numbering options include skip numbers, repeat numbers, numeric only, alpha numeric, with space, with dashes, many different typefaces, bar-coding, OCR, random, PINs and mod numbers.
Labeling
With our unique in-line labeling equipment,
we can affix labels to sheets, envelopes or catalogs. Need variable info on the labels like barcodes, alpha-numerics, sequential numbers, addresses…just ask. Call Howlan now!
Product/Coupon Affixing
Membership cards, prepaid promotions and similar concepts not only create new business opportunities for you, but forge a bond with the cardholder and inspire loyalty that generates repeat business. Coupon affixing turns an ordinary promotion into an interactive piece that encourages your client to buy your product. With fugitive or permanent glue, we can affix almost anything on printed materials. We also image, fold and fugitive-glue-in-line. If you haven't considered the possibilities, call us.
Imprinting
Howlan can imprint on almost any printed product. The result is a more productive use and allocation of your advertising dollars, eliminating useless overruns of stock and wasteful obsolescence of your printed materials. You stretch your budget, while getting a better-looking, customized piece!
We also offer the ability to fix other people's printing mistakes.
