Author : Mark D. Strobel
Company : Primera Technology, Inc. |

While there are several available options in the market today, most are too expensive or designed for far higher production than is needed in many cases. Further, the print quality of even high-volume, full-color labels on flexo or digital offset can be limited, thereby limiting the sales potential of the labeled products. |
