Why the LP-1 is the Ideal Label Printer for Small Business Owners

For many small business owners, finding your footing in the market can feel overwhelming. After creating your product, the next step is product packaging and labeling. But the big question is: Should you handle printing in-house or purchase labels from third-party vendors?

In this blog post, we'll explore why the SnapPress LP-1 is the go-to label printer for small business owners. It offers a solution that not only saves time but also reduces costs, helping your product labels stand out on the shelves without sacrificing quality. Whether you bring the LP-1 into your own operation or ask your label provider if they have one for your short-run needs, you’ll enjoy faster turnaround and no need for minimum order requirements.

What Makes the LP-1 the Ideal Label Printer for Small Businesses

When it comes to packaging, buying labels from a third-party vendor often means bulk orders, longer wait times, and a pricing puzzle you never asked to solve. Label costs can fluctuate based on ink coverage, label size, quantity, and materials, leaving you with a complicated and costly process. But what if you could cut all that out? We have seen recent savings of up to 80% from buying through a 3^rd party. 

The SnapPress LP-1 is the essential label printer for small business owners, offering short-run capabilities that allow you to print exactly what you need. No more stockpiling unused labels that take up space and “hope” you have a use for later. Printing in-house provides a flexibility that makes it easier (and more affordable) to print labels for seasonal items, custom events, and anything else that comes your way, in a SNAP!

With its compact design and flexible financing options, the SnapPress LP-1 is the perfect solution for businesses looking to break into the market and scale up as production levels grow. At a fraction of the cost of other digital label printers on the market, it gives your business full control over labeling without breaking the bank.
