Digital Labels

digital printing comp
Printing has gone digital just like so many other industries have. The printing industry has been revolutionized by digital printing and the way it views variable data, full color and short and medium run printing. The processes of inking the press up, plates or making files are not required by digital printing. This reduces the amount of labor needed and set-up time, which results in lower prep charges compared to flexographic printing.

The HP Indigo Digital press allows Integrity Packaging Group to offer a broad range of medium and short run labels at lower costs compared to flexo. Digital, like flexo, is able to print on various substrates, including up to 18 point folding tag, flexible packaging, metallics, films and paper. Give Integrity Packaging a call today if you have any questions about digital printing or don’t see the application you need.

– Integrity Packaging Group Digital printing offers many benefits, one of them being if your product or company is in need of higher volume purchases it that you can be transitioned over to flexographic printing from digital printing, so that volume discounts can benefit your company.

Flexo Labels

– Flexographic printing is a kind of relief printing process where flexible plates are used that are made out of a Photopolymer material. Engraved anilox cylinders are used to transfer a certain quantity of ink onto the plates. The substrate gets fed through the rollers, while the ink gets transferred from the plate onto the substrate to create the image. The packaging industry uses the Flexo printing method extensively for multiple substrates. A wide range of substrates can be printed by Flexo, including a wide variety of paper types, metallic films and paper and plastics.

Services For Industrial Labeling

Blank Labels

Many materials can be used to make die-cut blank labels, including Polyester, Polyolefin, BOPP, Vinyl, Gold or Silver Metallic Film or Paper, Direct Thermal Paper, Thermal Transfer Paper, Matte Litho, Opaque and Uncoated Paper. They may be delivered in the form of die-cut blanks onto rolls that come with or without fan folding or Perf. The customer is then able to hand write or print their variable data onto their labels, such as Tracking Numbers, Expiration Date or Lot Code. Frequently there is a combination of a barcode and variable data (shipping address, product name or other information). The bar code label may be used for inventory control, track and number other applications. Does anyone still remember Dot Matrix Printing. We still do pinfed labels/dot matrix labels.

Integrity Packaging Group can furnish you with blank and pre-printed labels that contain variable data, which eliminates you having to purchase variable printing equipment for doing it in-house.
