Variable Label Printing Expertise: Variable Image Printing
Unique Way For Businesses, Graphic Designers To Expand Revenues
Variable label printing that utilizes variable image printing provides a unique way for businesses, graphic designers and others to expand revenues, while helping their clients do the same. Variable image printing offers powerful possibilities and is big technological step in personalized prospecting. Why?
Variable image printing — including graphics and variable text intentionally changed from one piece to the next — creates compelling personalized marketing messages for digital sticker printing and custom digital labels, that go way beyond just variable text.
Advanced Digital Sticker Printing and Technology for Custom Digital Labels
Availability of advanced, reasonably-priced custom digital printing technology enables creation, literally, of one-of-a-kind instead of one-size-fits-all packaging and custom promotional pieces.
With Lightning Labels state of the art digital printing technology, variable image uses are limited only by the imagination. For starters, companies can create meaningful, highly personalized prospecting programs to attract new business. Imagine the novelty and impact of a truly customized piece, including custom digital labels and digital sticker printing, in our mass-produced world (e.g., getting a bottle of wine with your picture, name and personalized message on the label).
We offer variable printing capabilities including:
State-of-the-art digital label printing can pair product and packaging designs with a database containing desired recipients and voila, a complete campaign is born! To market this concept to would-be clients, the savvy graphic designer can demonstrate it in his or her own prospecting efforts. For example, send a bottle of hot sauce to 50 prospects. Customize each with a custom digital label or sticker featuring the recipient’s photo, logo or other company identifier and a personalized message describing “hot and saucy designs” awaiting the prospects.
What a great way to generate new business! First, the enterprising graphic designer gives the prospect a noteworthy way to build their revenues, then shows the process in action. Personalization options are myriad, especially in the digital packaging realm. Development of highly creative, individualized custom digital labels can become an entirely new design specialty.
Variable Label Printing Ideas are Adaptable to Just About Any Product
-
Create an Original Art Collection.
Using affordable original artwork created by a local artist or even original children’s finger paintings can be an intriguing approach. This type of variable label printing and digital sticker printing could work well for purveyors of wine, cosmetics, specialty goods, etc. Each package is unique, while maintaining overall branding, giving it uniqueness in a retail environment.
-
Use Digital Photos on Custom Digital Labels and Stickers.
Digital photo use is exploding around the world. Online stock photography sites such as iStockPhoto.com have millions of photos available for licensing with custom labels, custom stickers and custom packaging. Or, put a different twist on it. A coffee company, for example, could hold a contest for product purchasers to send in their photo and one-line explanation of why they consume this particular brand. Winners would have their photo and one-liner imprinted on coffee packages and receive a prize. What a way to boost coffee sales!
-
Get Quotable on Product Packaging.
Famous quotations are very popular. There are words of wisdom in many business publications but they rarely find their way to product packaging. Fair use laws permit use of most famous quotations free of charge. A few hours of online research can garner a database of a hundred or more quotations. Then, the graphic designer just needs to allocate some space on the package and choose a font. With variable label printing and image technology, every custom digital label, sticker or package can have a different famous quotation (and graphic look, as desired).
-
Tell a Story through Variable Image Labels and Digital Sticker Printing
Develop a series of one or two paragraph stories about the product. These could range from chronological events to customer accounts of product experiences.
Variable label printing and image technology offers graphic designers an exciting and expansive new marketplace—one that gives both the designer and client a way to stand out in a crowd.
At the same time, the total price tag can remain very reasonable. For example, the cost of a variable labels campaign that includes custom digital labels or stickers, can be tailored to myriad budget parameters. Even economically-challenged companies still may be able to develop a limited series of designs—perhaps a half-dozen reflecting key industries targeted by the company—and pair them with variable data messages. This industry-specific approach with individualized messaging achieves mid-range personalization while maintaining reasonable variable labels and their printing costs.
In contrast, companies with large budgets can get extremely focused with their imaging—and keep graphic designers happily occupied for quite some time. No matter the size of the challenge—or budget—variable label printing and digital sticker printing provides a new sales frontier for the graphic design community.
