About Eticod
Roll-to-roll digital printing technology allows for the production of labels in a fast and relatively inexpensive manner, while maintaining very high print quality. The advantage of this technique is primarily the high printing speed and the ability to print on various substrates, such as foils, papers, structural materials, or wood and aluminum raw materials. In total, our portfolio includes several dozen different materials intended for printing.
Digital label printing enables the execution of smaller order quantities in a relatively short time. This is a great advantage for customers whose demand for label production is small or who are interested in printing a series of several designs. Digitally printed labels are also characterized by very accurate color reproduction. With this technology, we have the ability to print in CMYK or CMYKOV color. Depending on the needs of the project, we can also make a white overprint, which is of great importance, especially for transparent and metallic foils. At ETICOD, we use the latest HP INDIGO devices, which guarantee high-quality label printing that is indistinguishable from flexographic printing – the difference cannot be noticed. Modern equipment allows us to reduce the costs of digital label printing, thanks to which we offer attractive prices even for small runs – all to the benefit of our customers!
