The Benefits of Digital Printing?

Exceptional Print Quality

Digital printing technology allows for crisp text, sharp graphics, and vivid colours, ensuring every label stands out. This makes it ideal for detailed product labels, branding, and marketing materials that demand a professional finish.

Quick Production & Short Runs

Unlike traditional printing methods, digital printing does not require time-consuming setup processes. This allows for rapid production, making it perfect for businesses needing fast turnarounds on short-run orders.

Variable Data & Customisation

With digital printing, every label can be unique! Whether you need sequential numbering, barcodes, QR codes, or personalised designs, we can print customised labels with variable data to suit your requirements.

Cost-Effective & Waste Reduction

Because there are no setup costs, digital printing is more affordable for small batches than traditional printing methods. It also reduces material waste, making it a cost-effective and environmentally friendly choice.

UV vs. Solvent Digital Printing – Which is Best for You?

At Mockridge Labels, we offer both UV and solvent-based digital printing, ensuring that every project gets the most durable and high-quality print finish possible.

UV Printing

✔ Uses ultraviolet light to cure ink instantly, allowing for fast production.
✔ Prints on rigid materials such as metal, glass, and plastic.
✔ Provides high durability, making it resistant to fading and scratching.

UV print

Solvent Printing

✔ Uses solvent-based inks for weatherproof and water-resistant prints.
✔ Ideal for large-format printing and outdoor applications.
✔ Penetrates materials for long-lasting, vibrant colours.

Solvent printing

"We bought our trophy centres and signage from this company and we found them very helpful and they offered great advice on various suitable materials. The price and service was much better than other companies we approached."

Advanced Cutting Technology for Precision Labels

To ensure perfectly finished labels, we use Swiss precision cutting technology, enabling us to accurately cut labels to any shape or size.

 

Whether you need kiss-cut or through-cut labels, our cutting machines guarantee clean, precise results with fast turnaround times.
