Data Points: Hybrid Digital Label Presses

Such automation can be essential for digital label production because of the shorter run lengths common to digital print runs. Label converters dislike so-called “touch points” in the manufacturing process where human intervention is needed because it removes a key advantage of in-line manufacturing. In such cases, the higher cost of hybrid digital label presses with in-line conversion capabilities may come to represent a good investment in simplified manufacturing. Simply put, the added cost is paid back via greater throughput and efficiency.
