Talk about how to do the most cost-effective small batch Inkjet Sticker Printing

In terms of printing products, small batch jobs require low cost and short delivery time; while product quality often requires bright colors, and most of the layers are composed of dots. According to this situation, many small printing companies use six-open monochrome offset presses for four-color overprinting, which also achieves very good results.

Large-scale printing is mostly offset printing, gravure printing, letterpress resin printing or flexographic printing, but the demand for personalized small-batch self-adhesive labels on the market is increasing. For six-fold and eight-fold single sheets, some thousands or hundreds of copies, the web label printing machine is a bit wasteful when printing this kind of job, which is not cost-effective.

In terms of printed products, small batch jobs require low cost and short delivery time; and product quality often requires bright colors, and most of the layers are composed of dots. According to this situation, many small printing companies use six-open monochrome offset presses for four-color overprinting, which also achieves very good results. Taken together, it has the following advantages.

In offset printing, letterpress printing, gravure printing and other printing, offset printing is undoubtedly the lowest cost printing method. In the pre-press process, compared with the complex plate-making process of flexographic plates, the production, filming, and plate-printing processes of PS plates are familiar to the printing factory. From a technical point of view, the printing houses have switched to offset printing after phasing out print, so there is no additional burden.

If the roll self-adhesive printing press is used, there will be a loss of more than ten meters of paper when it is turned on. If the overprinting adjustment is not good, and the paper line of the unit type printing press is long, the waste will be even greater. The offset press can use other paper to make master paper, saving self-adhesive materials.

Compared with letterpress and flexo printing plates, the price of offset printing plate is very low, and it does not require many auxiliary materials. When printing paper of different thickness, the printing pressure can be adjusted at will. In terms of operation, offset printing technicians are also easy to hire, and the technical threshold is not high.

The practice of the printing factory has proved that the cost of printing small self-adhesive labels with an offset printing machine can be reduced to "cents". If it is processed with supplied materials, even if the profits are calculated in "centi" and "milli", there are profits to be obtained.

Different from the self-adhesive labels in Japan and other countries, the self-adhesive labels in my country are mostly pictures and documents with rich layers, especially for small batch labels, which often require bright colors. Offset printing has advantages in dot printing, and solid printing is not inferior. If you need to increase the ink thickness, you can take advantage of accurate overprinting for secondary printing. Because it is printed in small batches, the time can be completely guaranteed.

The use of offset printing quick-drying ink, adding a desiccant to the ink, and spraying powder after printing can effectively solve the problem of dirt on the printed product and improve the printing speed.

Short-run job printing, emphasizing timeliness. If the pre-plate-making process is complicated and the plate-making cycle is long, it will inevitably affect the delivery date. However, the plate-making cycle of offset printing is short, and it is a suitable choice for short-run live label printing with complex patterns and strong timeliness. Based on experience, Foshan Label Printing Factory recommends that the printing equipment be used only in quantity, and select the appropriate equipment to print the corresponding products.
