Is it interesting to print your own labels in-house? Why print labels yourself? Whether you already use labels or do not yet use labels yourself. This is the question every business has to ask itself at some point. To know the answer to this, Tasco has listed the 5 main motivations.
Does your workplace contain unused labels?
Take a look around your office or storage cabinets. Are you keeping excess, outdated pre-printed labels? Many companies find that their workstations are filled to the brim with labels that they had to order because of their commercial printers’ mandatory print runs, when only a small quantity was needed, or they became irrelevant soon after arrival.
How does in-house printing help?
With in-house printing, companies can reclaim storage space and budgets and print only the labels they need when they need them. Printing one label at a time is no longer a pipe dream. Bring the production and printing of your labels in-house and you will never need to print more labels than necessary. Circulations are fully customisable, and because you produce them yourself, you decide how and when to print. Print runs are fully customisable, and because you produce them yourself, you decide how and when to print.
Have you ever been frustrated by your creative limitations?
Too often we hear about companies sending their creative assets to a commercial printer, only to find out that an edit is wanted, variable data is needed or a small custom batch is required. It’s a story as old as time (or as old as digital printing). The amount of time, money and effort lost by giving up control of one’s creativity can make us weep.

When labels are produced and printed in-house, you have creative control, and you alone. Update your label with a new announcement, customise labels for limited editions or transform your designs for the holidays. If you dream it, you can print it now – no matter the quantity.

Is regulatory compliance vital to you?
Depending on your industry, details about compliance and regulations can change overnight. How do you ensure that your labels reflect the latest information? If you are currently failing to do so, you may be missing out on valuable sales opportunities. Better late than never to make changes. Still, we hear from many companies that they wish they had integrated a flexible solution earlier, once they realise the business impact.
