Thermal Printers: To own or not to own that is the question?

People ask us all the time what are the advantages of in-house thermal printing capabilities?

You can control your costs by having a custom label for your company that is used for all your products and all we have to do is leave a space in the custom label for you to drop in the appropriate information for each of your products. This is particularly important with date stamping. It gives you a clean, clear look over handwriting in a date. Reduce or eliminate plate costs and plate change charges.

You have a consistent image along all product lines without having to purchase a label for each product. This is particularly valuable when you don’t sell in large quantities. Unit costs can be reduced by buying larger quantities of “generic” labels.

You only have to concern yourself with the inventory count of one label, not 10, 20 or how many other products you have. Printing systems run between $890 and $2,090. Pretty reasonable for the amount of flexibility that you can derive from it.

Print on demand, eliminating lead times and improving your turn around times.

The label has that “exclusive to this product” look that may improve shelf appeal.
