Digital Label Printing

Unlike traditional methods like flexographic or offset printing, digital printing eliminates the need for plates, making it a fast, flexible, and cost-effective option for various applications.

What is digital printing?

Digital printing, as the name suggests, makes use of a digital printer to produce labels quickly and easily. Using files such as PDFs, digital printing offers unmatched flexibility, for when you need a label in a hurry.

Historically, digital printing was of a lower quality than traditional flexo printing methods. However, at Premier Labels, we have a cutting-edge HP, the Rolls Royce of digital printing! This means we can produce labels digitally that are as high quality as our flexo prints.

Quick printing for tight deadlines

Digital printing offers a significantly quicker turnaround (there are no plates involved, meaning printing can happen almost immediately). This is a fantastic option for limited-edition label runs, or when time is of the essence.

Should I use digital printing or flexo printing?

Digital printing is best for small to medium runs, projects with frequent design changes, or when variable data (e.g., personalised names, barcodes) is needed. It offers quick turnaround times and excels with detailed, high-quality designs.

Flexo printing is ideal for large-scale production runs, consistent designs, and projects requiring specialty finishes or substrates. It’s cost-effective for high volumes due to lower per-unit costs after setup.

What are the benefits of digital label printing?

Digital printing offers quick turnaround times, minimal setup costs, and the ability to easily customise designs with variable data like barcodes or individual names. It’s perfect for small batches and frequent design changes.

What types of materials can be used in digital label printing?

Digital label printing works on a wide range of materials, including paper, vinyl, polypropylene, and metallic substrates. These options make it suitable for various applications, such as food packaging, cosmetics, and industrial labels.

Is digital label printing cost-effective?

Digital printing is highly cost-effective for small to medium runs because it eliminates the need for plates, reducing setup costs. However, for very large print runs, traditional methods like flexo printing might offer a lower per-unit cost.
