Digital printing is a great place to start your packaging journey if you need lower volumes or use a full color design like the one above. Digital print is also an excellent option for promotional packaging because there is no cost to change your design and no Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ).
Digital printing uses an ink jet process to apply your designs. This is a plateless process, so you save on print plate costs. You may still need to purchase a cutting die for quantities over 500 pieces. Digital print uses a CMYK color build, so your artwork will need to be converted from RBG (most common color builds for digital work) to CMYK in order for it to print most accurately.
