1-1000
Low Volume
Low-volume runs of 1 to 1,000 labels suit product launches, trial batches and small brands that need a few hundred labels at a time. We print these in house, using CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow and black) water-based inks at 1200 x 1200 dpi (dots per inch, a measure of print sharpness). That keeps small orders practical, so you do not have to buy thousands of labels to get started.
Labels can be up to 104 mm high, on die-cut stock (labels cut to shape and spaced on a backing liner) or continuous stock (one unbroken strip). Choose gloss or matte paper, gloss or matte synthetic, or gloss poly freezer grade. Not sure which suits your product? Send us your artwork and we will talk you through the options.
1,000+
Medium Volume
Medium-volume runs of 1,000 labels or more suit businesses with a new label to get out quickly, or several variants of the same label, such as flavours, sizes or languages. No printing plates are needed. You send a PDF file, your labels go into production, and they are delivered within 7 working days. That turnaround applies to this medium-volume service.
We print medium-volume runs at 1200 x 3600 dpi. Because there are no plates, a new design or an extra variant does not need a new plate made. Ask us for sample labels so you can check the print and the material before you order.
10,000+
High Volume
High-volume runs of 10,000 labels or more suit established products with steady demand. We produce them with 8-colour printing and inline die cutting (labels cut to shape in the same pass as printing). Finishing options include foil embossing, tamper-evident labels and food-grade labels, and we can supply any label size and design. We partner with digital and flexographic label printers (flexographic printing uses flexible printing plates and suits long runs), so each job goes to the press that suits its specification and quantity. Tell us what the label is for, such as chilled, frozen or chemical products, and we will match the material to the job.
Should you print labels in-house or outsource them?
There is no single right answer. It depends on your label volume, how many products and variants you have, how often designs change and the turnaround you need. It also depends on the true cost of printing yourself: the printer, ink, label stock, maintenance, training and operator time. Outsourcing has its own costs, such as per-label price, minimum quantities, freight and supplier lead time. A mix of both is often the right answer, with outsourced printed labels for big runs and an in-house printer for short runs and urgent changes. We supply both sides, so we can compare them for your production.

Printed labels: questions businesses ask
Can you print small quantities of labels?
Yes. Our low-volume service covers 1 to 1,000 labels, printed in house. It suits trial runs, new products and small batches where a big minimum order makes no sense.
Can I print different label designs without printing plates?
Yes. Medium-volume runs need no printing plates, just a PDF file for each design. That makes variants and design changes simpler. Our guide on printing different designs without plates explains how it works.
Can you print barcode labels?
Yes. We print barcode and product identification labels, plus inventory, asset, logistics and packaging labels. See our barcode label printing page for the details.
How long does label production take?
Medium-volume runs of 1,000+ labels are delivered within 7 working days. Timing for low-volume and high-volume runs depends on the job, so ask when you request a quote.
Do you supply businesses across Australia?
Yes. We supply printed labels, label printers, label stock and consumables to business customers Australia-wide. We are not a walk-in retail printer, so orders start with a call, an email or a quote request.
How do I get a quote for printed labels?
Send us your label size, quantity, material and artwork as a PDF through our quote request page. You can also call 0431 942 464 or email info@digitallabelservices.com.au. Pricing depends on label specification, volume, materials and finishing, so every quote is tailored to your job.
