Variable Data Labels
Add pack dates, batch numbers, serial numbers, and more to your pre-printed labels using your own thermal transfer printer—cost-effectively, every day.
Common Variable Data Applications
Any label that needs information to change between print runs is a candidate for variable data.
How It Works
Combine digitally pre-printed base labels with your in-house thermal transfer printer for the highest quality and most cost-effective variable data solution.
Pre-Print Your Base Label
Have your branded base label digitally printed on rolls with your logo, artwork, brand colors, and any static information. This is the foundation of your label—everything that doesn't change.
Apply Thermal Transfer Coating
We apply a thermal transfer printable varnish or laminate to your label material, making it compatible with your in-house thermal transfer printer regardless of the base substrate.
Print Variable Data Daily
Run your pre-printed rolls through your thermal transfer printer each day to add the information that changes: pack dates, batch numbers, flavors, strains, sequential barcodes, or any other variable field.
Apply to Your Product
Labels go onto your product with that day's variable data freshly printed—no lead time, no minimum reorder, no wasted inventory of outdated labels.
