Cummins Label Inc. delivers label production through a combination of digital, flexographic, and screen printing systems supported by in-house prepress, finishing, and quality control. The operation is structured to handle a wide range of production volumes, from short-run label needs to high-volume manufacturing. Each production method is selected based on run length, substrate, artwork requirements, and end-use application.
Custom Digital Label Printing
Custom digital label printing is used for projects that require speed, flexibility, and frequent artwork changes. This process does not require printing plates, which allows faster setup and efficient production for short to medium runs.
This capability is commonly used for:
- Multiple SKU product lines
- Seasonal packaging changes
- Promotional label runs
- Serialized or variable data labels such as QR codes and barcodes
Custom digital label printing also supports quick artwork updates, which helps reduce downtime when product information or branding changes. It is a practical option for brands that manage frequent updates or smaller batch requirements without committing to large inventories.
Flexo Machine Printing
Flexo machine printing is used for high-volume label production where consistency and speed are critical. The presses are built for continuous runs and are capable of producing strong, consistent color output across large quantities.
This production method is commonly applied to:
- Food and beverage packaging
- Health and personal care products
- Industrial labeling
- Retail product packaging requiring consistent branding at scale
Flexo machine printing supports multi-color output in a single production pass and works across a range of substrates including paper, film, and specialty materials. It is the preferred option when production demand is high and repeat orders require consistent output quality.
Custom Digital Printing
Custom digital printing supports both production runs and development work such as prototypes and sample labels. It is used when flexibility in design and turnaround time is a priority.
This service is typically used for:
- Product testing and launch samples
- Short production runs with multiple variations
- Fast turnaround orders with changing artwork
Custom digital printing allows brands to move quickly from concept to printed output. It also supports versioning across product lines, which is useful for brands managing multiple product variants under one category.
Custom Screen Printing
Custom screen printing is used for labels that require strong durability and higher ink coverage. This method applies thicker layers of ink, producing labels that hold up under demanding conditions.
Common applications include:
- Industrial equipment labels
- Outdoor-use labels exposed to harsh environments
- Safety and warning labels
- Specialty product branding requiring heavy ink coverage
Custom screen printing is selected when label performance matters under abrasion, moisture exposure, or chemical contact. It is commonly used in manufacturing and industrial settings where label longevity is required.
Production Support and Finishing Capabilities
Production is supported by in-house finishing services that include die-cutting, laminating, and specialty enhancements such as foil stamping and embossing. These finishing options are used to support both functional and visual requirements depending on the application.
Adhesive options are also available to match different use conditions, including permanent, removable, freezer-grade, and industrial adhesives. Material selection ranges from paper stocks to synthetic films designed for durability and product-specific performance.
Industry Applications
Production capabilities support a wide range of industries including food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, personal care, industrial manufacturing, and logistics. Each printing method is selected based on production volume, material requirements, and label function.
Custom digital label printing supports short-run and variable label needs. Flexo machine printing is used for large-scale consistent production. Custom digital printing handles fast-turn and flexible production work. Custom screen printing is applied to labels requiring durability under demanding conditions.
