Look to the Floor
Traditionally considered a wide format application, the increased interest in floor graphics for social distancing instructions and messaging has print providers with expertise in other areas—think flexography (flexo) and dry and liquid toner—asking how they can get involved.
Production Transparency
In today’s fast-paced world, production speed alone won’t give print providers an edge. The entire process, from order entry to kitting and mailing can be automatically driven by sophisticated workflow tools. In book manufacturing—where it is increasingly common to have smaller runs, down to a book of one—a streamlined operation really matters.
Packing a Punch
Miniature (mini) folds enable brand owners to pack a lot of information into a compact leaflet. Pharmaceutical inserts and outserts, more commonly known as PIs, for medical as well as product information documents for health, beauty, and electronic items are examples of this type of application.
Over and Under
Primers, coatings, and over print varnishes (OPVs) are used pre- and post-print for function and haptics. In digital print environments, primers are utilized to optimize substrates for ink or toner while coatings are popular for direct mail, brochures, as well as labels and packaging to add protection or embellishments.
