Frequently Asked Questions

How does the quality of digital offset printing compare to other printing methods?

Similar in quality to lithographic and rotogravure printing, digital offset printing uses four-color process and 230 line screen. In contrast, most flexographic presses offer 133 or 150 line screen.

Why are there no set-up fees associated with digital offset printing?

Flexographic, lithographic and rotogravure printing typically involve film, plate or cylinder charges plus color and changeover fees. These are eliminated with digital printing.

How soon can I expect to receive my order?

Depending on the volume and variety, digitally printed labels can be ready in hours or just several days. As soon as artwork is approved, your digitally printed labels are ready to go to press. Once printed, we can ship just-in-time to minimize your in-house inventory.

What if I just want a few labels with different designs for package prototypes?

We are happy to produce your unique custom product label designs for prototypes or for batch runs using variable data such as for regional distributors, local sponsors, or market samples. There are no "minimum run volume" requirements. We are happy to print quantities of one to many thousand.

What substrates and finishes can I choose from?

Many varieties of both paper and plastic film substrates are now available for digitally printed labels. We offer a selection of textures, adhesives and finishes. We routinely laminate, press varnish or UV varnish labels and utilize a Digicon System to precisely create the tactile feel and visual look that you desire.
