New Dimension Labels flexo and digital technologies provide you the best manufacturing
option for your label project. New product launches typically require low volumes
where the label content/design may go through several changes as the product gains market
share. This situation is a perfect fit for digital printing since artwork goes directly
to the press, avoiding the need for film and printing plates. As volumes increase,
where press speeds become an important factor, flexographic printing can be considered
to maintain cost efficiencies.
