Printing can be done online, with a more flexible number of prints, for example one or two pieces. In addition, MSEs can also include personalization data such as logos, customer names and the like. Recently, MSE packaging trends such as labels and stickers have also become increasingly varied, identity & information about products are conveyed well.
The owner of Adorama, Mr. Albert Gunawan, in his explanation revealed the importance of first impressions in brand identity, and digital printing is the right way to communicate the brand identity of MSEs to the public. The forms can vary from stickers, labels, packaging, to business cards, calendars and so on.
