White Ink: A Guide to Using White Ink in Print and Packaging Design
When it comes to commercial printing and packaging, there are many decisions to make, including the choice of ink.

Exploring the below advantages and disadvantages, step-by-step guide, and FAQs on using white ink in general commercial printing and packaging will help you to determine the best cases to use white ink in your project.

Which is Cheaper Offset or Digital Printing?
We are often asked how SunDance determines if a project should be produced using digital or offset technology. One of the driving factors is order quantity. Assuming there is no variable data such as personalization which would require the use of digital technology, Offset printing will yield a lower unit cost on higher order quantity projects, but there are higher upfront costs involved in getting the first sheet off the press. The distribution of the upfront costs over a greater quantity is commonly referred to as economies of scale which result in a lower unit cost than digital can provide.
