Why Pre-Fill Decorating is Better than Post-Fill Decorating

September 25, 2018

You could do your post-fill decorating in-house – undergoing a long learning curve and running the risk of decreased efficiency and increased scrap. Or you could reap the productivity and speed-to-market benefits of letting your supplier pre-fill decorate for you.

The many advantages of pre-fill:

No lost batches
No lost product
Maintains product integrity
Increased efficiency
Reduced downtime
Reduced scrap
Outsourcing expertise available
Speed to market

Of course, if you have an established business with approved capital spend, installed equipment and/or in-house expertise, then you should consider bringing the decorating in house. However, there are drawbacks to post-fill decorating as well.

Some of the disadvantages are:

Increased Downtime
Decreased Efficiency
Increased Scrap
Lost Batches – bad sleeves
Lost product – bad sleeves
Long Learning curve
