Label Printing Quality Assurance – ISO 9001:2015 & MNC Audit-Ready

Quality at the Core of Ugar Labels

At Vikram Printers and our labels division, Ugar Labels, trust is not just a word—it is the core principle driving our operations, relationships and growth. We are proud to be an ISO 9001:2015 Certified Company committed to delivering reliable, high-precision packaging solutions. Our label printing quality assurance framework is designed to meet the consistency expectations of multinational corporations as well as fast-growing regional brands.

In 2020, we launched Ugar Labels as a specialized division to deliver high-end labels and shrink sleeves, and today we serve over 500 clients with a track record of clearing rigorous MNC audits. This page explains how our quality systems work behind the scenes to keep labels, sleeves and cartons consistent and audit-ready.

ISO 9001:2015 Certified Quality Management System

Ugar Labels operates under the ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System (QMS), the international standard for process quality and continuous improvement. This means our quality assurance is not limited to a single department; it covers planning, purchasing, production, maintenance, quality control and management processes across the organisation.

ISO 9001:2015 requires documented procedures, records and reviews for key activities such as production planning, design changes, material control, equipment maintenance and corrective actions. For label and packaging buyers, this translates into better process discipline, more predictable outcomes and a visible commitment to ongoing improvement.

Our Quality Control Department & Specialized Equipment

To achieve the highest quality standards and maintain the consistency required by multinational corporations, Ugar Labels has invested in a well-equipped Quality Control department and specialized equipment. The QC team is responsible for monitoring quality from raw materials through to finished labels and cartons, working alongside production and planning teams.

Specialized QC equipment may include tools for measuring print density and colour, checking registration, inspecting labels for defects and verifying barcode readability, in line with best practices followed by quality-driven label converters globally. These systems help detect issues early so that corrective action can be taken before labels reach the customer.

How We Maintain Consistency for Multinational Brands

Ugar Labels highlights that it maintains the consistency required by multinational corporations and has a track record of clearing rigorous MNC audits. This is especially important for brands in food and beverages, liquor, cosmetics, healthcare, agrochemicals and automotive segments, where packaging is closely scrutinised.

Our quality assurance approach combines the strength of ISO 9001:2015 documentation, specialized QC equipment, and a culture of zero-defect thinking. For clients, this means that initial approval samples, full-scale production and repeat orders are all aligned to the same quality benchmark rather than being treated as isolated events.

Quality Checks Across the Label Printing Process

Quality control in label printing involves a series of checks and measures designed to ensure that every label produced meets specific standards of excellence. Ugar Labels’ QC workflow covers the full production cycle:

Incoming Material and Pre-Production Checks

Before production, incoming materials such as label stock, films and board are checked to confirm they match the job requirements. Artwork, plates and job tickets are verified so that the press crew starts with the correct specifications, reflecting a robust pre-press and planning process.

In-Process Print Quality Checks

During printing, operators and QC personnel monitor print quality, registration, colour and key details against approved artwork and production standards. Best-practice converters use tools such as digital proof comparison systems, spectrodensitometers for colour checks and barcode verification to keep the print run within tolerance—this is the same quality mindset we adopt for our label work.

Finishing, Roll and Carton Checks

After printing, labels and sleeves pass through finishing stages such as die-cutting, slitting, rewinding or cutting and gluing. QC checks at this stage ensure rolls are wound correctly, cores are intact, sheets are cut accurately and cartons or sleeves meet dimensional and visual expectations before packing.

Documentation and Traceability

Quality control labels and documentation are used in many industries to track inspection status and support audits. Our ISO 9001:2015 framework emphasises documentation of inspections, approvals and corrective actions, which allows traceability and makes it easier for clients to review quality records when needed.

Audit-Ready Systems for Global and Local Brands

With over 500 satisfied clients and a track record of clearing rigorous MNC audits, Ugar Labels demonstrates that its quality assurance is built for real-world evaluation and not just internal reporting. External audits examine both the physical quality of labels and the underlying processes—planning, documentation, training, maintenance and continuous improvement, as outlined in ISO 9001:2015 guidelines.

We understand that brand owners and procurement teams often ask about a converter’s QC process, commitment to technology and willingness to improve—key factors recommended when choosing a quality-driven label partner. Our responses to these questions are supported by our certifications, QC department, infrastructure and audit history.
