Digitally Printed Custom Labels for Those Short Runs and Super Fast Turn-Arounds

September 30th, 2011

In a bid to rapidly expand their operations, the Performance Label Company is in the process of shortly acquiring an advanced digital label press. This will allow the company to now print custom label quantities below 1,000 labels and provide next day service on super-rush orders without incurring additional plate charges.

This digital label press is poised to increase the scope of their services as it can die-cut labels of any shape without the need of a custom Flexo die that runs anywhere from $230 upward. It can print variable data such as consecutive numbers and bar codes. The digital press also allows for multiple color options—ranging from one color to full color printing. The company is eagerly looking forward to add this service to their custom label production line.

The market is brimming with custom labels options. However, Performance Label Company has consistently been the preferred choice among customers looking for quality and creativity-oriented custom labels. Customers can easily customize their labels with artwork of their choice and design.

The Performance Label Company already has an enviable bouquet of services pertaining to custom labels. They offer a myriad variety of color choices, custom dies (with over 1000 dies in stock), customized shapes and sizes for labels, a choice of different materials, laminated or UV varnished labels for enhanced protection, consecutive bar-coded and numbered labels as well as roll and sheet labels.

Labels give your product a brand identity and a recall value. When labels are customized, they appeal more to your clients and customers and enhance the overall profitability of business. Custom labels have an individual appeal and are capable of being your brand ambassadors. These labels are an extremely flexible and a creative way to customize your specific requirements.

About Performance Label Company: Performance Label Company has been supplying wholesale labels and custom labels throughout the USA since 1983. Realizing the dearth of a true wholesale label company in the market, the company acted rapidly to fill this lacuna. We supply Printers and Brokers with any label that their customer desires. We have gained a loyal and satisfied customer base owing to our competitive pricing and always-on-time delivery of orders.

Creative Child Magazine Recognizes “We’re Three,” a Book from Trafford Publishing

August 18th, 2010

“We’re Three: A Story about Families and the Only Child” by Vivian Cameron-Gallo is a self published book that captures the essence of a family of three. This Trafford published book is the recipient of Creative Child Magazine’s 2010 Book of the Year Award for children’s interactive books. This comes after receiving last year’s Seal of Excellence Award for children’s picture books. We’re Three will be featured in Creative Child Magazine’s Holiday Issue.

Unlike other children’s books, “We’re Three” features interactive pages primarily designed to help the stereotypical “only child” out of their isolation. This self published book is an interactive story about the activities of a family of three.

Children will surely have fun reading the story and drawing pictures of their own families on dedicated pages. “We’re Three” is a must read, not only for families of three, but for families of all sizes.

About the Author

Vivian Cameron-Gallo is a freelance interior display designer. A graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology majoring in Display and Exhibit Design, she has more than two decades of design experience. Her family of three inspired this story when she noticed that there are few Children’s Picture Books around today with a focus on the development of only children. Her concept is a Children’s Book that not only features stories; but allows children to journal their own family experiences.

About the Illustrator

All images are created by Christina Simcic. A dedicated and successful artist, Christina Simcic is constantly eager to learn new ways to express her artistic skills. Working on this book gave her the chance to express her inner child and do what children love most – play with color pens.

Podding solves publishing problems for writers

April 7th, 2009

Podding is the new way forward for writers and authors looking to go in to print but who can’t find a publisher.

‘Podding’ is teaming up with one of the new ‘print on demand’ (POD) publishers, like Dragoncub (http://www.dragoncub.com/books/index.php) who will show you how to make money selling your books online.

Dragoncub can take a manuscript, edit and format the content quickly and efficiently and have your book ready to print and ship as the orders flow on.
As an author, you will also have help marketing your book to reach the widest possible audience.

Podding makes financial sense for everyone in the publishing chain:

- Publishers save because print-on-demand removes overheads like advance royalties, the need for large print runs and storage that comes with traditional book publishing.

- Authors can keep a larger slice of the royalties and their rights to the content as a POD publisher only takes a percentage of the retail price to cover printing, marketing and distribution costs.

This does not mean every book submitted is published, but the POD business model allows the publisher to take more chances with books that may not stack up sales like the Harry Potter series, allowing more writers to reach readers.

Online book publishers also offer their authors a broad selling base, whether through the online Dragoncub (http://www.dragoncub.com/books/index.php) bookstore or online giants like Amazon. Publishers like Dragoncub can also access other distribution channels that can reach thousands of retailers like high street stores, libraries and other online merchants.

Dragoncub will publish a hard or soft cover edition of a book or short stories and the author sets the retail price and keeps 80% of the selling price, which is a far higher royalty than an author would generally earn from a traditional publisher.

For instance, if you decide to sell a hard back for £12.99, as the author you will collect £10.39 from each sale without having to repay any advance on royalties.

Dragoncub (http://www.dragoncub.com/books/index.php) sells books in more than 40 categories for children and adults and if you are a first-time or a published author, offers a fast and inexpensive way to put your book in front of your readers.
