What are the benefits of digital packaging for Craft Beer Products? 

Digitally printed packaging and labels have great benefits for Craft Breweries with incredible flexibility, allowing brands to experiment with packaging and engage the consumer. 

Some of the benefits of digital label printing include: 

• No tooling costs  
• No Minimum Order Quantities  
• Maximum 5-day lead time from receiving approved artwork  
• Versatile customisation thanks to variable data printing  
• Embellishment capabilities, including foil, spot varnish and unique textures 
• Eco-friendly substrates 

No tooling costs or minimum order quantities provide brands with much more flexibility when ordering labels. This leads to less waste and savings on costs as you are only ordering the labels that you require. 

Short lead times also provide great flexibility to craft beer brands as labels can be ordered and received within 5 days. This allows you to get your product to market quickly and satisfy your consumers!  

Variable Data Printing enables brands to customise each label individually, adding names, designs, and imagery unique to each label. This is made possible using 100% digital print processes, as digitally printed labels do not require printing plates with lengthy set-up times.  

Therefore, a previously costly and difficult packaging feature is now made accessible to brands globally, thanks to digital print.

Consumers are demanding sustainability from brands across all markets, including the Craft Beer market. This includes how the product is made, how it is shipped to consumers and the packaging.
