The Benefits of Digital
Printing
Most of our custom labels are produced on flexographic
presses. However, there are several cases when digital printing is a
much cheaper alternative. Digital printing avoids plate charges and
has a much quicker setup for a short to medium run of labels. It also
allows for variable text and imagery and has a very high quality
output. You would want to choose digital when you have a need for
several variations of the same label, need process color, or do not
have high enough quantities to afford printing plates. The price per
label is often higher with digital, but for smaller quantities it is
worth the savings on the plate charges. For example, if you have a
product that needs several variations of labels, such as a beauty
supply product, a food, or a beverage, using digital printing would
be much cheaper than having plates made for each different label.
Digital printing would also be best for parking tags, discount
labels, static clings or any retail labels that either have
variations or need to have a very high quality image. Contact us for
more information on our digital printing.
