Kind words from a Great Customer
This was the wonderful feedback I got from our recent quarterly newsletter
I loved your 2012 News letter!
Loved to hear the kudos RCL so rightly deserves.
When I see wonderful packaging and labeling, I often wonder if they are an RCL client
Congratulations and keep up the great work. Sherilyn – local business owner

Digital On the Rise!
Digital is growing! The addition of our fully automated digital printing and cutting press, the Primera CX/FX has really helped our digital department grow. Digital orders tend to be smaller than our average order, but nearly 10% of the orders placed in 2011 ran on this new equipment. We expect to see digital continue to grow – here is why:
- Low minimum order quantity – as few as 50-100 labels can be professionally printed
- No setup fees or die charges
- Any size – any shape
- Wide variety of materials available
Call is today to see if digital is right for your project.
Best Small Batch Liquor!
Local distiller Hou
se Spirits was recently highlighted as one of the Top 5 Small Batch Liquors by Bon Appetit magazine! These small batch, limited production runs have been very successful for the local provider. These ‘apothecary style’ labels are individual numbered and typically only run 500-1000 at a time. The idea was to provide a very aged, traditional look to the package. Wax dipped caps have been used in the past, but currently a custom die cut cap seal is used to individually seal each bottle.
