When Dog Balls approached us, they needed a small quantity of custom-printed tapes featuring a four-color process design. However, traditional printing methods would have required costly plate charges, making the project less feasible for a limited run. More importantly, they were on a tight timeline and needed a fast turnaround to keep up with their production schedule.

Maintaining brand integrity was also a priority—they needed a solution that preserved the look of their original design while reducing both costs and lead time.

Here is what their old tape design looked like:

At Plus Packaging, we specialize in high-quality, affordable printing solutions, including tapes with:

• no plate charges
• no shipping costs
• a 1-week turnaround from proof approval

To optimize Dog Balls’ tapes, our team reworked their four-color design into a three-color print by using strategic screening techniques. This adjustment allowed us to maintain the original design’s look while simplifying production, reducing costs, and speeding up the process.

Here is how the new design came out in the mockup preview:

Thanks to our efficient printing methods, Dog Balls received custom tapes that met their branding needs without extra costs and assured swift delivery. Our ability to quickly adapt their design and streamline production enabled them to move forward with confidence—ensuring their high-quality products were sealed just as impressively as they performed.
