Both digital and flexographic print techniques offer a variety of benefits, and your individual brand and products will be key factors in determining which method is right for your labels. With numerous presses in house for both types of printing (including our new HP 8000, which you can read more about here), Dion can accommodate every unique label project. Generally speaking, digital printing has its niche in shorter run, quick turnaround work with excellent quality. It also is great for sampling options, variable data jobs, or where multiple varietals are required. Flexo’s advantages are found in longer runs with high productivity and quality, and specialty ink printing. Whether your label is printed digitally or conventionally, when you choose to print with Dion, you can be sure that you’ll love your packaging.

One of the largest benefits of digital printing is that it enables a faster time to market for products. Without the need for press plates, turnaround time on label orders can be much quicker. Especially for short runs, this is an ideal option. Another advantage of digital label printing is that we can print exact match proofs on the same material and press that will run your order. While we go above and beyond industry standards for color matching for both digital and flexo printing, our digital printers have seven color process printing for true Pantone matching. Graphics are printed with perfect registration and the utmost of clarity and resolution. If you are looking to have a small quantity of labels printed or multiple varietals, digital is likely a wonderful option for you.

While digital printing is a great option for shorter runs, for longer or more complex jobs, flexo has the edge. Some of the many advantages of the flexographic print method include up to 9-color printing and custom color matching, an extensive selection of substrates, and double-sided printing with multilayer constructions available. If you are looking for a high decoration label, the variety of substrates available for flexographic printing is truly vast. We have a vast array of cutting dies on hand as well, so if you want a uniquely shaped label we’ve got you covered. We practice dynamic quality control with in-line video registration monitoring directly on press and extensively trained and skilled operators that insure our flexo labels always exceed our customers’ expectations.

Our team will make sure that your label is printed with the method that is right for you. What’s more, if you are a growing company or require variable quantities of labels at different times, we can duplicate artwork and color between digital and flexographic printing, allowing you to order shorter and longer runs of labels when needed.
