Digital tags are quickly becoming a preferred method to labeling products and labels. There are many good reasons for this including low cost, top quality rapid turn-around time and limited batch capabilities.

At electronic shelf tags We have been using digital presses to create beautiful labels for packaging of food items and lotion bottles, warning labels for chemical substances and so much more. As you plan your new label designs, consider all the advantages of digitally printed pressure-sensitive labels.

Decorative or Prime Label

For labels that contain at least four colors, digital tags are the best choice. If you want your label to promote your product as well as promote your brand, printing quality is essential. Digital labels focus on the issues of color consistency as well as image registration and vibrancy of color.

Our HP Indigo presses print most of our labels as our primary product label. Our digital space is often utilized for beverage labels, food pouch labels, as well as private brand labels. Your label could be used to brand your product.

Digital tags can be used to create the use of a lower amount than flexographic label. If you'll require 500 to 25,000 vibrant labels per product then it's likely that digital label tags are a good fit to your item. In short runs, you don't have to keep stocks you don't want.

Variable Print On Press

Variable data label is one of the types of Digital tags, including labels that are on demand, where elements like images, text and graphics are able to be changed from one piece of paper to the next without stopping or slowing down the label process. VDP is a method for obtaining information from an external or database.

Flexo labels require plates for each unique image and color so variable label printing an flexographic printer isn't possible. Digital presses are capable printing sequential numbers and variable data, and any other label-to–label variation.

Costs for labels

Flexographic presses also utilize metal plates, like normal label presses, to produce the images for each color of the design. Six plates are needed for labels with six colors.

Weber's digital label orders do not include a charge to purchase a die for cutting labels. Because there are no plates, only one thing is charged: your labels. You can find more information on how do electronic labels work on our website.

Packaging Sustainability

There is a great deal of waste material associated with flexographic label label because, in the set up procedure, the press operator must adjust the color and set the plates so that they ensure that the label is perfect.

Digital labels are almost waste-free. There's no set-up required, which keeps costs low. You can also order the exact number of labels you require and in quantities as little as 500. Many times, we hear from clients who tell us that they had order thousands of labels in order to make a profit and ended up throwing out thousands of their old inventory that they never needed at all.

Flexibility

The greatest benefit of digital labels is their ability to alter your design. You might consider making updates to your label when your product line changes. Even a single color or letter could mean you pay minimum $100 for a new plate.

Digital plates do not require plates so you can modify your design, send in the updated artwork and have it printed at no additional charges. This is great for new brands or series runs that have several SKUs.
