Flexibility without limitations.
Digital label printing gives brands the flexibility to produce exceptional labels without the limitations of traditional plate-based printing. Whether you're launching a new product, managing multiple SKUs, printing sequential bottle numbers, or updating artwork, digital printing makes it easier to adapt without sacrificing quality.
Produced on Xeikon Cheetah digital presses using advanced dry toner technology, our digitally printed labels deliver outstanding color, crisp detail, and consistent results. Xeikon dry toners are also Nestlé-certified for food contact, making them an excellent choice for food, beverage, and other applications where food-safe printing is essential.
Why choose Digital Printing?Today's products move faster than ever. Your labels should too.
Digital printing transfers artwork directly from a digital file to production without requiring traditional printing plates. That means shorter setup times, greater flexibility, and the ability to efficiently produce smaller quantities, multiple versions, and changing product information.
From startups introducing a new product to established manufacturers managing hundreds of SKUs, digital printing offers the speed and versatility needed to keep packaging moving.
Efficient Short Runs
Produce smaller quantities economically without the setup costs associated with traditional plate-based printing. Perfect for product launches, seasonal packaging, market testing, and specialty products.
Variable Data & Sequential Numbering
Every label can be unique. Add sequential numbering, batch information, serialized barcodes, QR codes, expiration dates, or other changing information without interrupting production.
Multiple Versions in One Run
Print different flavors, fragrances, sizes, languages, or regional variations during the same production run while maintaining consistent quality across every label.
Food-Safe Printing Technology
Xeikon dry toner technology is Nestlé-certified for food contact, making it well suited for labels used on food, beverage, and other consumer products where food-safe printing is an important consideration.
