DC Printers Print Different Styles of Labels, Packaging and Stickers
Printing company Washington, DC prints pressure-sensitive labels for various companies and could help you grow your brand with a unique, easily identifiable label. In the past 17 years, pressure-sensitive labels have grown from approximately 15 percent to over 50 percent of the market share in new market trends.
In addition to pressure-sensitive labels, there is a high demand for RFID labels which are somewhat exotic and new in the field of labeling. RFID stands for Radio Frequency ID labels. These are the type of labels that are scannable and have information stored in them. There are specially designed print machines required to accommodate these RFID labels, so before you bring your RFID print job to your local printer, call and ask if they can run such a project.
These dedicated printers use offset – Web and sheetfed, flexography, rotary gravure and digital – inkjet and toner, often a mix of these technologies in a single narrow web line.
At the expense of pressure-sensitive labels is the hottest new application which is film sleeves that “shrink” in order to fully in case a product. These use flexo or digital printing though rotogravure predominates.
According to an Arlington printing company, one industry that has a high demand for pressure-sensitive labels is the wine makers and wineries. Their need is for pressure-sensitive labels that are produced on narrow web waterless offset which replaces conventional dry glue gummed labels. The glue labels are limited in their application and messy to deal with; however they are still used for high-volume, low-cost productions.
Pressure-sensitive labels can be switched out quickly in the printer which is good news for several small to medium size wineries that share mobile wine bottling lines.
If your company is looking for labels or consecutively numbered stickers, then DC printers would be happy to fill the order for you. They can accommodate orders of 250 up to millions of stickers or labels. With consecutively numbered stickers, a company could keep track of them on their site inventory without a monthly shutdown for counting of the inventory, so the consecutively numbered stickers would save a business time and money.
