Variable Data, Printing and Message Delivery

There is power in personalization. Statistics show that variable data messaging and personalization is one of the most effective ways to drive customer response and affinity. We help clients develop the templates, formats, physical and e-mail mailing programs to accurately deliver targeted and effective messages. Our ability to print recipient’s name and address while varying the message text and graphics based on the recipient’s specific interests yields tangible results. Contact your Cedar Graphics Account Manager for further details.

Cedar Graphics offers the most advanced technologies for variable data printing including high-speed inkjet, solid-toner processes and liquid-toner processes.

Short Run Digital Color

Our two new HP Indigo 3050 7-color digital press gives us the ability to deliver cost effective high quality short run color printing for certain applications.

Perfecting

Perfecting is the process of printing 2 sides of a press sheet in one pass.

While many in our industry have shied away from this technology, our veteran Cedar Graphics team has been perfecting 1 to 4 color two sides for over 20 years.  The benefits to you are many. Perfecting can cut press checks in half, allow for faster delivery times and more economical pricing without any degradation in quality. We now have the ability to print 5/5+coat in one pass on our new KBA 11 unit press. Additionally, now we can print from roll stock, making the process even more economical. You could say that at Cedar Graphics, we have perfected perfecting. 


If you would like to learn more, contact us or stop in for your personal plant tour.

Cedar Graphics has been perfecting (one pass, print, turn, print) just about longer than anyone else around. Our experts will help you decide which process is best for you.

Finishing

It is unusual for a printer to have the wide array of capabilities in the bindery as we do at Cedar Graphics. Our senior management has always focused on being versatile and responsive to our customer's finishing needs. Our capacity to cut, fold, stitch, drill, punch, collate, and UV coat is outstanding. Customers that tour our facility are amazed by our massive bindery.


Combined folding and gluing provides superior quality and fast turnarounds on complicated projects such as CD sleeves, boxes and pocket folders.

Die Cutting

Most printers send die cutting to a third party. At Cedar Graphics, we prefer to control this manufacturing process. We have the capability to perform jobs that require complex die cutting.  Folding, gluing, perforating, and scoring are performed in-house.

Die cutting is handled in-house on one of our Bobst die-cutting presses.

UV Printing Capability

Having the tools and expertise to offer alternative methods to conventional printing is critical in today’s marketplace. To accommodate the growing requirement to print on non-paper substrates such as vinyl, styrene, clear polypropylene, PVC, foils and other materials, Cedar Graphics has responded by adding the equipment to get the job done.


Our new KBA Rapida 105 press leads the charge in larger format UV curing applications. We have the ability to print with UV or hybrid UV inks as well as gloss or dull UV coatings, spot or flood with immediate drying (curing) results. For you, the customer, this means high impact, high quality, unique applications and immediate processing. No more waiting days or weeks for your job to be delivered!


Some of the products that apply to the UV curing process are: point of purchase displays, outdoor signage, wraps, clear packaging, phone and credit cards, shelf talkers, magnets, stickers and an endless amount of specialty applications. Keep in mind that UV formulated inks create an outstanding effect on uncoated papers as well.


Cedar Graphics can also do small format shorter quantity runs - static or variable color on our HP Indigo digital presses. One of our trained sales representatives will be happy to send you samples and explain how this technology can help your business.
