Stop Paying for Label Mistakes.
Print Exactly What You Need
— When You Need It.

Outsourcing feels "safe" until a change hits. Then you're stuck with reprints, delays, and dead inventory. Printing in-house turns labels into a switch you control — not a vendor you wait on.

Rush Fees Production stops when you run out. Expedited shipping kills your margin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about bringing label production in-house.

Yes. Outsourcing often involves plate charges, setup fees, and shipping costs. When you print in-house, you only pay for the ink and the label stock. Most of our customers see a 40-60% reduction in cost per label compared to short-run outsourcing.

No. Afinia printers use industrial Memjet or LED technology with resolutions up to 1600 DPI. The print quality is often superior to traditional flexographic presses. Your customers will not know you printed them yourself.

Dye Ink is vibrant and colorful, perfect for retail products like coffee, candles, and snacks. Pigment Ink is durable, waterproof, and UV resistant, making it ideal for chemicals, oils, and outdoor products. The Afinia L502 is unique because it can swap between both.

If you use Pigment ink (L502 or LT5C) combined with synthetic label material (like Polypropylene), the result is fully waterproof and resistant to oils and chemicals (BS5609 certified).

Digital label printers require inkjet-coated media to ensure the ink dries instantly and looks crisp. We supply a wide range of compatible Paper, Poly, and Clear materials guaranteed to work with your machine.

No. These machines function like standard office printers. You can print directly from PDF, Illustrator, or even Word. If you have your artwork file, you can print it.
