Full Color Digital Printing

Drake offers customers the advantage of full color prime and durable labels in small and mid quantities via narrow format digital printing. Narrow format digital printing with EcoSolvent ink delivers high quality, yet cost-efficient full color labels for orders that are too small for traditional flexographic or high-volume digital printing. Custom shapes and sizes as well as complex patterns are supported without the costs associated with expensive dies or plates. Printing on Mylar®/polyester & paper is ideal.  Drake also offers wide format Digital printing and Flexographic printing.
