When purchasing various water cup packaging, is it the high cost of packaging for digital printing or offset printing?

As a factory producing all kinds of stainless steel water cups and various plastic water cups for nearly 20 years, we purchase a large amount of water cup packaging every year. With the development of digital printing becoming more and more popular, the comparison of packaging costs between digital printing and offset printing will often be mentioned by customers. Today we will briefly share on this issue.

Digital printing is also known as plateless printing, which means that there is no need to print offset plates as in the traditional printing process. Without the link of plate making, it means that the cost of plate making is reduced and the time required for plate making is also saved. Therefore, the efficiency of digital printing will be higher, but because the cost of digital printing equipment is higher, the depreciation rate is also higher, so the unit price of digital printing will be higher. It cannot be like traditional printing, the larger the quantity, the lower the cost.

Traditional offset printing will have a fixed cost when it is turned on in the early stage, and at the same time, it needs to do more work before printing and the preparation period is longer. However, as the number of products printed on offset printing increases, the individual cost will decrease. The larger the quantity, the lower the individual cost, which is unmatched by digital printing.

Therefore, when the number of packages is small, even if the unit price of a digital printing product is higher, the total cost is lower than that of traditional printing, and it can save time and improve production efficiency. However, when the number of packages is too large or even extremely large, the cost of using digital printing will increase sharply, and the cost of traditional offset printing will decrease. At the same time, when the printing volume meets the printing revolutions, the packaging with large volume is better than digital printing in processing time.
