Everything you need to know about digitally printed cans, and how to place your order.

From the outside, a digital UV printer that prints on cans is a lot like many home or office paper printers – but on steroids. It can receive multiple digital files, and then queue them as print jobs without stopping.

The main differences between labelled and digitally printed cans is the environmental impact. Even though a lot of labelled cans end up recycled, some unfortunately end up in land fill. Retrieving the paper and plastic labels is not an easy task and adds some complexity to the process. This is a great reason to change to direct to can printing as it simplifies the whole recycling process. Direct to can digital printing uses zero plastic and never wastes a drop of ink on a bad can.
