AcceptWhy Produce Labels In-House?
In-house label printing offers a significant opportunity to reduce costs and streamline operations.
By printing labels internally, businesses can eliminate setup fees, shipping costs, and minimum order quantities.
Additionally, this approach minimises expenses related to wasted or obsolete labels since labels are printed on demand as needed.
The 6 Advantages of In-House Digital Printing Over Pre-Printed Labels
-
Cost-Effective
In-house digital printing is particularly beneficial for small quantities or short runs, providing a more economical solution compared to outsourcing.
-
Quality Control
Maintaining stringent quality control is easier with in-house printing, ensuring the correct labelling of products for the right customers at the right time.
-
Flexibility
Digital printing allows businesses to swiftly adapt to new labelling requirements, such as regulatory changes, without incurring delays or extra costs.
-
Customisation
Create labels in virtually any format, with complete control over their appearance, enabling a unique brand presentation.
-
On-Demand Printing
Print the exact number of labels needed, precisely when they are needed, avoiding overproduction.
-
Zero Waste
Avoid the need to meet minimum order quantities from external printers, significantly reducing waste.
The Value of On-Demand Printing
Transform Your Operations:
Imagine a production floor where vibrant, customised labels are printed exactly when needed. On-demand colour printing enhances workflow efficiency and operational responsiveness.
Example: In the pharmaceutical industry, regulations often require changes in labelling to ensure compliance with safety standards.
With on-demand printing, a pharmaceutical company can instantly update and print labels with the latest dosage information or warnings, ensuring compliance without disrupting the production schedule.
This not only streamlines operations but also reduces the risk of costly errors and recalls.
Save Money:
Control production costs by printing only what is necessary, avoiding hidden fees and waste associated with pre-printed labels.
Example: A horticulture business producing a variety of plant products for different seasons can significantly reduce costs with on-demand printing.
Instead of ordering large batches of labels for each plant type, which might go unused if demand changes, the business prints labels as needed.
This avoids the costs associated with excess inventory and minimises the risk of wasted labels, ultimately saving money.
Save Time:
Reduce lead times and eliminate delays by printing labels on demand, enabling quicker market response.
Example: A food and beverage company introducing a new line of organic juices can benefit from reduced lead times by using on-demand printing.
When a new flavour is developed, the company can design, approve, and print labels within hours, allowing the product to hit store shelves faster.
This agility helps the company respond quickly to market trends and consumer preferences.
Add Flexibility:
Easily adapt to new product lines, promotions, or last-minute changes without the constraints of pre-printed label inventories.
Example: In the chemical industry, especially for companies handling hazardous materials, label requirements can change frequently due to regulatory updates or the introduction of new products.
On-demand printing allows these companies to adapt quickly by printing compliant labels on the spot, even for small batches, without the need for large inventories of pre-printed labels.
Increase Speed:
Move seamlessly from design to production with real-time adjustments, ensuring each label meets your exact specifications.
Example: A warehouse and logistics company handling a vast array of products for different clients can improve speed and accuracy in labelling.
When receiving or dispatching goods, the company can print labels tailored to each shipment's specific requirements, such as barcodes, destination information, or handling instructions.
This ensures that every label is correct and up to date, reducing errors and enhancing operational efficiency.
Eliminate Unexpected Charges:
Avoid rush fees and minimum order quantities, making your budget more predictable and manageable.
Example: A manufacturing company that frequently launches new products or runs limited time offers might face rush charges when ordering pre-printed labels on short notice.
With on-demand printing, the company can produce labels as needed without incurring extra costs for quick turnaround times or small order quantities, making the budget more predictable and reducing financial stress.
Reduce Label Waste:
Produce only what you need, supporting sustainability goals and reducing waste.
Example: A food and beverage company focusing on sustainability can significantly reduce waste by printing labels on demand.
For example, if a product recipe changes, the company can immediately print new labels with updated ingredients and nutritional information, avoiding the waste of obsolete labels.
This practice aligns with the company’s environmental goals and reduces the ecological footprint.
Reduce Label Inventory:
Minimise label stock, freeing up valuable space and reducing logistical complexity.
Example: In the pharmaceutical industry, where storage space is often at a premium, reducing label inventory through on-demand printing can be a game changer.
Instead of storing large quantities of labels for every drug in the product line, the company prints labels as required, freeing up space for other critical materials and simplifying inventory management.
