All Digital Printing

Another example of doing what it does best is Lightning Labels' very limited offering when it comes to substrates. It provides labels using just ten substrates, with more than 60 percent of its business being run on white BOPP. As with the great majority of substrates printed on HP Indigo presses, the substrates need to be top-coated before printing. "We outsource our top-coating to Masterpiece Graphix (www.mgxdigital.com) in St. Louis," reports Renton. "They order uncoated material from the material vendors, coat it themselves, and then ship to us. It is a system that has worked well for many years."
