At first, you might see labels as a simple product. They need to stick to your folding cartons, your envelopes, and your corrugated containers. They need to look nice, give the buyer information, and reflect your brand.
Practical Benefits of Color You Should Not Overlook
WOW, WHO KNEW? Unique Printing Applications
Almost daily, we are experimenting with new substrates. What we’ve learned is that our new LED UV Flatbed Printer with 4’ x 8’ full-bleed print area and 4-inch print height can print on just about anything!
In addition to printing high-volumes of outdoor lawn signs and indoor retail signage, we recently printed on three Beverage-Air cooler doors. The doors were at least 10-years old, scratched, and dented in some areas. Printing on old wavy metal proved challenging, but after about an hour and half of measurements and fine-tuning, our team was able to create a masterpiece.
We printed a primer ink base, white ink, and CMYK inks on the first pass. The second printed pass we applied a clear varnish. Due to the two passes and seven total inks used, each door took about 5 minutes to print.
Marc's Rockin' Bowl-A-Thon Display
Before we explain the project, please consider supporting MARC Inc. and their fantastic work! MARC is a Connecticut non-profit organization that provides people with developmental and intellectual challenges the opportunity to lead meaningful lives with independence, choice, inclusion, and personal growth. MARC offers residential services, a senior center, day service programs, recreational programs, employment, and advocacy services tailored to each individual.
MARC asked FUSION for an estimate to create decals to be placed on a bowling pin that they would put at sponsor locations as part of a social media awareness campaign to share their signature fundraiser "MARC'S Rockin' Bowl-A-Thon."
Instead of an estimate, we created a surprise concept to create more impact. Then we printed, crafted, and donated a custom display that the Bowling Pin sits on in 20 of their partners’ businesses.
2019 REUNION Invite and Direct Marketing
New Year, New Location, New Equipment, and More Capabilities
After nearly 15 years, we outgrew our space and moved to a larger location with 10,000 square feet to operate in during Christmas of 2019.
In January 2020, we installed a new state-of-the-art LED UV Flatbed Printer to increase our capacity, reduce production times, expand our capability, and create budget-friendly sign products for our growing client base too.
We print on any substrate up to 4 inches thick and up to 4 x 8 feet. In addition to vivid full-color inks, we have inline UV primer to improve ink adhesion on wood and other unique substrates, white ink for dark, metal, and transparent substrates. Our UV varnish adds cool special effects too.
Customer projects are printed faster than we can update our portfolio, so please check back often. Contact us with questions or to start your next project 860-647-8367
