With thousands of emails messages constantly bombarding as email accounts, it becomes difficult to keep our heads above email. To tame this giant monster we must take conscious steps to make your way though the junk.

There are a few things you can do today to eliminate the virtual clutter from your life.

Some of these things are highlighted bellow:

Tab It!

There are tab/folder options available for you to take advantage of the wonderful virtual organizer - it will help declutter your email. Bellow are three different systems you can use to keep organized.

Priority System: This type of system is used if you are interested in maximizing efficiency and minimizing junk.

1.Priority A: this is a folder used for urgent emails and otherwise have a high level of consequence if left untouched.
2.Priority B: This folder is used for emails that are somewhat urgent or otherwise have a moderate degree of consequence if left unattended.
3.Priority C: This folder/tab will be used for emails of lesser importance and hold very little consequence if left alone.
4.Priority D: This folder is for emails you’d like to keep for fun but have no importance and are of no consequence if left untouched.

The rest of the email can be deleted! This system works best for people with business emails because you’ll know where your focus has to be when you dedicate your time to checking your email.

Name System: This system is oriented for people who have an interest in collecting emails from specific people. Personally, I use a combination of the former system and this one - so feel free to experiment…

1.(NAME): This folder will be used for all emails this particular person sends you. .. it’s that simple.

Category System:This system emphasis the category of each email. This helps you locate emails in a part [Read more →]

With today’s modern technology, ordering short-run, digital labels is a breeze and more affordable than ever!

Traditional label printing is done on large mechanical flexographic printing presses. These presses require artwork to be output to film - for creation of rubber printing plates. These plates are then attached to the presses, inks are mixed, and the machine is hand-calibrated to the specifics of each job.

Present-day digital label printing equipment is much different, eliminating all of the above tasks! Doing away with these steps creates many advantages over flexographic label printing, including: Faster delivery / turnaround time; Low minimum quantities; No die or plate charges; Higher quality; 4-color process printing; and much more!

The main benefits to customers are:

Delivery Speed…

Because digital printing eliminates the need for plates and lengthy press set-up, labels are produced much faster - in mere minutes instead of hours in most cases. This is especially true with multiple color (4-color process) jobs, which can require running the same label through the press multiple times to complete the job.

Better Pricing…

Again, because digital printing eliminates the need for the creation of printing plates, and because each job takes less time to set-up, the actual cost per label is much less.

Low Minimums…

Digital label printing makes it possible to provide customers with label quantities as few as one label - or as large as 25,000- all at very affordable pricing. Additionally, digital labels can be produced at practically any size, with no die requirements.

Quality…

Digital printing translates into high-quality, picture perfect labels on each and every label order! Digital printing technology produces rich, vibrant labels - with [Read more →]
