There are three element to the cost of Die cutting boards:

The arrival of our new forex sheet mounting marks an exciting new era for us all. Suddenly lots of products which for volume production were previously the reserve of screen printers can be produced easily with less time.

The advantages of using a Digital Printing for these products are numerous and significant.

Quality

Previously the quality of big, screen printed, Display Boards and Point of Sale was disappointing, at best!

The limitations of Screen Printing meant that the print had to be made up of very large dots. When viewed at anything but a large distance away the dots made the print virtually impossible to decipher.

With BRANDTAG's printing unit we can print huge posters with the same exceptional clarity which has become our hallmark for smaller print sizes. The difference in quality of the finished job truly must be seen to be believed!

Plus BRANDTAG's close computer control of color means that every job and every sheet of every job will be a faithful render of the designers’ intentions.

Speed

The time taken to make traditional screens and to set up the screen print press was considerable. BRANDTAG's new process uses ‘Computer to Printer’ technology and offers exceptionally fast press make ready times.

This means that BRANDTAG's response to your needs can be virtually instant if required and our 'normal' turnaround is anything but usual!

Economy

The cost of traditionally printed Display Boards and Point of Sale is extremely high because of the time consuming nature of the process. BRANDTAG's new Digital Production techniques have allowed us to make a step change in the cost of these products.

Greater economy opens up the opportunity to use Displays and Point of Sale, which have proven their effectiveness over time, in applications where previously they were cost prohibitive.

On the next few posts BRANDTAG will demonstrate the possibilities by focusing in on Billboards & Back Lit Posters, Hanging Boards & Flat Displays and finally the exciting world of Three Dimensional Displays & Merchandisers.
