Traditionally, label and sticker printing has been done on big, mechanical flexographic printing presses. This has always been a complex and expensive process, involving outputting your artwork to film in order to create flexographic printing plates - which are then loaded on to the printing press. The inks are mixed and the machine is calibrated.

All this must take place before you can print a single label or sticker. Digital label printing changes all this - it brings custom label and sticker printing into the 21st century.



There are four main advantages that digital label printing has over traditional flexographic label printing:

1. Speed – with no plates to create, and very little setup of the machine, a custom label job printed on a digital printing press can be printed in minutes - not hours. Many flexographic printing presses can take several hours to set up for a four colour process job, whereas our digital printing press is ready to go almost immediately. Using our digital printing process, we can have 4 or 5 custom label jobs out the door while the old style printing press is still being set up!

2. Quality – if you want high resolution and vibrant colours then you need digital printing. You can really see the difference in the custom label’s detail and colour. If you are selling your products at the retail level, you really should consider digital label printing just for the quality of the label it produces.

3. Cost – because there are no plates to create, no film to output and minimal machine setup, fixed costs for the digital printer are very low in comparison with flexographic shops. So if you want to print a relatively small number of custom labels (say less than 25,000), you will always get a better price with digital printing. This way you can order only the products you need, rather than a huge number of custom labels just to get the best unit price - which obviously affects your cash flow in a positive way.

4. Flexibility – perhaps digital printing’s greatest power is its flexibility. With digital printing you can print 1,000 custom labels and every label can contain different data. That’s right - completely variable data printing. Whether you want to include names from a database, consecutive numbers, multiple barcodes, or just several versions of the same label, digital printing can handle it with ease.

Additionally, custom label designs and content can change frequently. With digital printing you simply submit new artwork and we can start printing your new custom labels, whereas in flexographic printing you would need to have new plates made every time you make a change to your label or sticker
Typical plate charges are around $120 per set for a single design - so if you have multiple label or sticker designs the plate charges can add up very quickly.

Don’t take our word for it, though! You can see what digital printing can do for you by requesting some custom label samples.
