Hey Dan,

 

Could you share some photos of the boxes?

These aren't the game box...just samples of the printer's work to see if the quality is OK Mostly boxes for makeup type products. Very high end stuff. I want to make sure I have everything in place before starting to program.

 

I was interested because a friend is in that business and told me digital was every bit as good as offset. It was just a question of run size. Offset is cheaper for 10k runs, digital for small runs. For what I need offset was $16 per box, $1.75 for digital.

 

I was concerned about quality. The printer sent like 20 sample boxes of different colors and what not. I used a magnifying glass and I couldn't tell it was digitally printed which surprised me.

I've worked with a local shop that went digital a couple of years ago, and the quality is indeed impressive. The cost difference is amazing, and really brings professional printing into the range of even small businesses. The trick for boxes is the cost of die cutting.

I got a die quote for $175 from another printer. Not sure if that's a lot, but sounds good to me. The other quote didn't break out the die, I wonder if they laser cut them?
