From a design standpoint, digital printing frees up creativity in ways that have previously been limited by other printing technologies. Offset printing, for example, can only print a small number of colors and must leave a small gap between colors. This forces artists and designers to work around these limitations. With digital, the biggest limitation is your imagination.

No! We have an inventory of cans at our headquarters just waiting to be printed and delivered to you. Due to the very precise nature of digital can printing, our printer must be specially configured to each can based on manufacturer, lot, etc.
Yes, we do a full coverage print leaving only a small amount of the can exposed at the bottom. However, due to the distance between the inkjet nozzles and the top tapered section of the can, printing here will have less definition. To minimize this effect, avoid text and small graphics at the very top of the can. There is a portion that is considered safe for text and small graphics. Please see our artwork templates.

Digital printing uses CMYK ink colors as well as white and varnish which is different from the PANTONE® color space. We have an array of tools to allow us to fine tune and color match, but due to the differences in the color spaces, some PANTONE® colors may be approximated. After passing our rigorous testing, a physical sample will be provided to ensure the color accuracy is up to your standards.
Yes! We do this by printing on brite cans. For silver we simply leave knockouts in the design to allow the aluminum substrate to show through. For every other metallic color, such as gold, we would print directly on the substrate, but without any opaque white ink.
No, all of our printed cans are odorless, regardless of finish. Immediately after printing, a faint odor may be detected. Cans wrapped on pallets can trap this odor. It dissipates quickly when exposed to air.
Yes! Unlike cans with labels or shrink sleeves (which must be completely removed), our cans are 100% recyclable with no additional burden on the consumer.
They come on plastic pallets with plastic slip sheets.
Yes we can! But seriously, we don’t just print – we’re your one stop shop for all things canning. We know cans inside and out so if you have a question, our can-do experts are at your service.
