Get More Affordable Waterproof Labels

We've all seen the label printing shops around town or in the mall, but how many of them offer quality waterproof labels? Not too many, if at all right? That's because printing decals and labels that are water resistant isn't as easy as it may seem. Anyone with a computer and printer can print their own labels, but not all can make them water proof. That's a big difference when you are doing your own sticker and label printing.

You see, to be able to make labels that don't disintegrate in water requires special paper and special inks. And if you think that's the only problem, think again. It's not easy to find those special paper and inks, and what's more, they are quite expensive to purchase anyway. But does that mean that to have these special labels made would cost you a small fortune? Of course not. Let me explain.

If you try to print them yourself, it will cost a lot. That's because for your purposes, you'd only be printing a small amount. But if a printer does it, it costs less because they'll be printing a lot of those, for different customers. You get what I am saying? It's like this. Say you want to make your own pair of jeans. That requires you buying the fabric, the man hours and the equipment. All in all, for a pair of jeans it will cost a lot. But if you buy from a clothing store, the price will be cheaper, yet the quality higher. Why? Because they mass produce it.

Same goes with waterproof labels. If you try to make them yourself, if it is your own printing project, the cost of each sticker you make is expensive. But to have it made, it will be cheaper because the costs are offset by the sheer number of clients a printer has. It's basic economics really. And it's the same reason why, despite the proliferation of digital cameras, you still have them printed at a photo shop for cheap rather than print them yourself.

But now the question is, who would need these waterproof decals anyway? Ahhh, well if you have a car and want decals that stay on and look good even in the harshest weather, you'd need them. If you are a diver who wants a label of your company on your oxygen tank, you'd need them. If you are a meat packer and want your labels to be intact even inside the freezer, you'd need them. The applications are endless, and unless you need them, you won't fully understand why they are sought after.

So if you need to have waterproof labels printed, no matter what purpose it may serve, ask yourself: will printing them on your own be worth it? Or should you have a professional handle it? Bear in mind that your stickers won't come out perfect the first time, what with having to know the right mix of inks on which paper and color correction, and all that. So that adds to the cost. Unless you plan on printing thousands of these labels, better have the pros handle the printing.
