Custom Printed Tags
Let’s get started with a custom tag for your brand
Read? ok, here we go!
A few things you need to keep in mind when thinking of a tag. The following is the main things to think of:
- Size
- Colour
- Shape
- Single or Double
Now let’s Break them down!
Size is the main game! The smaller the tag size, the more that can fit into sheet for print, the less sheets we use to print your amount. When it comes to Size, the smallest we go is 30mm x 20mm (any smaller and you need a Die Shape/Die Cut) but on the larger size, there is no limit.
Colour is the other game when it comes to print. First of all, colour is spelled with a “U”. There is 2 types of colouring when it comes to print. Digital and Litho colour prints
Digital: Digital colour is colour. So no matter if we print Black only or full colour, as long as we print digital, cost is cost
Litho: Litho is a much harder game to play. As the Litho Machines take plated and colour combinations, its really complicated. Black print is the cheapest of Litho cost, and then from there, each colour added makes it more costly. As soon as we add more then Black and 2 colours, it turns into a Full colour print!
You can print any combinations of colours even different colours between the front and the back.
Shape is a game of costing and breaking a budget! A simple Rectangle or square tag is the cheapest as this is a print we print and then cut to size, but round and shaped tags is a huge cost sink! Any time a shape is added it creates a Die Shape/Die Block needed to be made and that will shoot the cost up with a bit. Good news is you can make a Die once and reuse over and over and over, Bad news is the cost!
