| Most labels found on products in a typical grocery store are printed in mass quantity by a label manufacturer who specializes in printed labels. They are usually purchased in quantities starting at 1,000 up to 1,000,000 pieces and the same label is printed on each due to the fact that changes are expensive because of the setup costs involved with the traditional label printing process. These setup charges are typically plate and film. The film is used to create a printing plate that is used to print a particular color on the label. The plate and film charge are per color and typically vary from $25-$80. The label manufacturer keeps these plates on file for future runs of the same label. Printed labels are best for companies who have a product that they sell in large quantities. Lead times on pre-printed labels can be anywhere from 1 week up to 4 weeks. | |||||||
