I've always printed my own labels on the computer. Isn't this less expensive?
- The actual cost for the labels is minor. The real cost is the time and distraction to do the printing. Also the cost for the ink and wasted labels has to be considered. With our multiple high speed printers, we can usually print higher quality labels faster than the average university---at a lower overall cost.
I need the flexibility of changing the information on the labels when ingredients or prices change.
- Omega will print only your artwork on the labels and place them into inventory. Then you can specify what you need printed (the variable information) when you order them. This gives you the flexibility to change your labels whenever the information changes.
How much do these Grab-N-Go labels cost?
- Cost is usually based upon three factors: Total quantity, number of colors in your logo, size of the label. Most labels range from 2-5 cents each. This is a small investment to increase your sales 5-10%.
How long does it take to get labels?
- Usually it takes much less time than you think. Once you determine the size and quantity of the labels you want, we then work with your marketing department to take your logo and set it up, so we can send you a copy for your approval. After approval, we can proceed to print your labels. Often you can be using the labels within three weeks.
We have a printing department on campus. Why should I use Omega?
- Surprisingly, our customers find that Omega is much faster and easier to deal with than their own printing or IT departments. Many times these departments are over-worked and under-staffed. Because we are lable specialists, Omega can give you the labels you need when you need them at a price you can afford.
Why can't I use one label for all my facilities?
- You certainly can use one label across campus, but many universities want different labels for different locations to enhance their branding. Also based on the size of your clamshells, a variety of sizes will work better. Omega offers combined pricing on these types of orders.
I still would like to print my own labels. Can you still help me?
- Absolutely! Perhaps you want to use your laser printer. Instead of having plain blank labels, you can get labels with your school's logo or dining concept. You don't have to be limited to the "mailing label" look. This gives you the flexibility to print your labels at a moment's notice and still have an upscale look.
