What are the main differences between offset and digital printing?
Offset printing uses plates and is ideal for high-volume runs (5,000+ units) with superior color consistency and lower per-unit costs at scale. Digital printing requires no plates, supports variable data, and is cost-effective for short runs (under 5,000 units) with faster turnaround. The crossover point where offset becomes cheaper depends on the specific product, but typically occurs around 3,000-5,000 units.
Which printing method is best for my project?
The best printing method depends on your order volume, turnaround needs, and product type. Custom offset printing excels at high-volume packaging and labels. Digital is ideal for short runs, prototypes, and variable data. Die-cut finishing adds premium effects like foil stamping and embossing. Large format handles banners and signage up to 5 meters. Specialty materials cover unique substrates like magnetic, vinyl, and waterproof synthetics.
