How to avoid print plate costs in merchandise sticker printing

How to avoid print plate costs in merchandise sticker printing.

For small business one of the largest overheads they have to deal with is the cost of merchandise labelling and pricing. These costs are usually increased by the need for dedicated print plates. There is now an alternative solution – Thermal Transfer.

Take advantage of a printing company using thermal transfer onto plain or partly printed labels. There are no print plate costs as print details are set through a dedicated label design program. This solution is suitable for printing barcodes, variable data, consecutive numbering (including consecutive barcodes) and certain graphics.

If you have your print details/database on an Excel sheet, you can send that direct to the printer and they can print directly from that using your information - Ideal where you may require small print runs or if you have lots of different print details.

A Fast and cost effective solution

As an example you may need 20 different barcode numbers printed but only want say 1000 of each type, this can be easily achieved quickly and efficiently with no print plate costs - all the print company needs from you is the barcode type and numbers.
