Save Money, Reduce Waste with In-House Color Label Printing

Posted On

 

 

Business leaders everywhere are under pressure to improve cost efficiency without sacrificing quality. Printing labels for packaging, product identification, globally harmonized systems (GHS), and shipping applications can be a costly venture if not done properly. This is why a growing number of companies are opting to bring their label printing in-house with an on-demand color label printing solution.    

What is On-Demand Color Label Printing?

Thanks to the increasing affordability of industrial inkjet color label printers and color inkjet label media, it’s possible for companies of all sizes to print high-quality full-color labels in-house, on demand. Compared to outsourcing label printing, printing your own color labels can help you control costs, reduce inventory waste and give you more flexibility in your label production. 

Discover the Benefits of On-Demand Color Label Printing:

  • No Minimum Label Order Quantities to Meet

    Perhaps the biggest cost-saving advantage of on-demand color label printing is that you can print the exact number of labels you need, as you need them.

    With your own on-demand inkjet color labeling system, there’s no need to pay a premium to meet a minimum label quantity and end up with a high volume of identical labels you might not need or use. Plus, you don't have to pay for costly press setup times or any associated plate charges.

  • Blank Labels, Infinite Possibilities

    Carrying an unnecessarily large inventory of pre-printed labels isn’t just costly; it can also take up valuable space in your office or warehouse. When you switch to an in-house color label printing solution, you only need to carry blank label stock. This gives you the ultimate freedom and flexibility to create the labels you need, when you need them. 

  • Customize and Change Your Labels in Real-Time 

    With a quality inkjet color label printer like the Epson ColorWorks® C4000, you can print both static and variable data on your labels at the same time. It’s easy to incorporate custom variable data on your labels, such as:

    • Lot coding
    • Expiration dates
    • Barcoding
    • Other variable data

Best of all, an on-demand color label printing solution allows you to change your labels in real time to accommodate portfolio and company growth, seasonal product or brand updates and even regulatory compliance changes. 

Instead of purchasing a new bulk order of labels and waiting for them to arrive, you can simply make the updates you need and print new labels immediately. Your business won’t miss a beat!
