Featured White Paper
Producing Your Own Short-Run Color Labels
Author     :  Mark D. Strobel
Company :  Primera Technology, Inc.
The need for short-run, full-color label printing is abundant in organizations of all types and sizes. While there are several available options in the market today, most are too expensive or designed for far higher production than is needed in many cases. Further, the print quality of even high-volume, full-color labels on flexo or digital offset can be limited, thereby limiting the sales potential of the labeled products.
