Jan 2013 – The benefits of Digital Printing




The Benefits of Digital Label Printing…

When it comes to custom labels we have seen a big shift in the last few years to more and more labels being produced on our digital press.

We feel the following industry changes are responsible for this…

  1. Many company logo’s and graphics are now designed first and foremost for the web.  With an infinite palette to chose from, little thought is given to how elements will transfer to print.  We continue to get more and more enquiries for custom labels that are to be produced in full colour
  2. Finer segmentation.  A full colour process ran on the flexo required 4 printing plates (aprox £ 200 total).  This leaves little room for multiple designs or ideas.  The digital process allows a significant number of variants to be printed at the same time – with no printing plate requirement.
  3. Home working.  With continued economic uncertainty and downturn, more people are looking for additional income.  Home businesses make products in smaller volumes lending to a requirement for high quality custom labels, but in low runs.

In addition to the industry shifts, the digital process brings many benefits of it’s own…

  1. Photographic quality at 1200dpi on all manner of substrates
  2. No printing plate charges
  3. Cost effective, irrespective of quantity
  4. Various finishing options including UV varnish and lamination

We tailor our service to deliver ultimate value to our customers.  We have a variety of processes and systems available to produce the label you need, be it low or high volume.
