At some point during your business startup, you are going to want a better look for your product label than you can get from your trusty old desktop printer. We print low quantity labels for startup companies to help them get their products to market quickly.

Do you really want to be in the label printing business?

In the beginning when resources are limited, it makes sense to print your own labels. You may not need a large volume when things are just beginning to pick up.  However, once things get off the ground, your everyday desktop printer may not be able to keep up. These days, printer toner costs more than gold per ounce, which can really start to add up costs!

Also, there is a cosmetic aspect to creating your own short run labels. As trendy as it is right now to have things look handmade, your labels also need to look professional. If someone can tell your labels were made in your office, or at home, they may worry about the quality of your product. Additionally, when you are fighting for shelf space do you really want your product placement based on a label printed on sub par Avery stock labels?

But that’s where we come in. Unlike many label printing companies, which will only produce labels in large quantities, we have been working with new companies for many years and have produced short run labels for startup companies in quantities of as few as 500.

Standard off-the-shelf label blanks can help you keep your cost down when you are producing those first prototype labels, but sooner or later you will find that:

• Paper smudges
• Fading over time
• Cheap adhesive may not stick
• Stock sizes my not be compatible with your package

Give us a call and see that our labels for startup business are worth the effort.

Here at ABLT, we know how important it is to make sure every item your company purchases is accounted for. Keeping track of a company’s physical assets is crucial.

Serialized labels, often called asset tags, give you the ability to track individual items and avoid mix-ups or errors, ensuring you have the exact item you are looking for.

We offer serialized labels with the option of a barcode or without. Sometimes a number is all it takes, but in situations like healthcare, scanning a barcode may be able to bring up information more quickly and more accurately.

A barcode is group of vertical lines that when read by a scanner produce a character or group of characters. When a scanner scans a barcode it is really picking up the reflection of the white space between the black bars.

In the simplest terms, a barcode is used as a locator to a record in a database.
