DC Printers, Labels a Specialty
Several Washington, DC printers are experts with different varieties of printing projects. Some printing shops specialize in promotional items such as key chains, caps and water bottles all with your company’s logo or tagline clearly imprinted on the front. While other print companies prefer to specialize in paper products in digital photographs, others pride themselves on their assortment of printed labels
Printing labels is the specialty of DC printers and they run quantities from 250 pieces all the way up to millions of labels. Whatever your company’s label needs are, a print shop usually could meet those needs better than any office ink jet printer.
Many print shops will print short run promotional labels or stickers for special one-time only products, including UPC codes. Labels and stickers come in a wide assortment of colors - most containing up to eight or more colors, shapes and sizes including static cling “stickers” which cling to windows and mirrors and are usually transparent so the design is on both sides of the static cling label or sticker. Other stickers and labels include foil stamped for special occasions such as weddings, graduations, anniversaries or anything that requires a shiny foil sticker that may or may not be embossed with a decorative seal. There are also custom shapes labels and stickers, like a trucking company might have a label in the shape of the truck or plumbing company could have a sticker in the shape of a toilet. Whatever shape might represent a business best could be custom made to fit that company’s needs with their name, address, phone number and website all printed on the sticker.
Some companies need consecutive number stickers to keep track of their inventory or for other purposes that might help them to stay organized. There are also tamper evident stickers in which the company’s name may be placed all along the sticker and if the sticker is removed from the item, the company’s name will stay on the box or whatever item it was left on showing someone opened the box or removed the label.
