Custom Cosmetics Label Printing FAQs
Q: How does the Breva work?
A: Using the Breva printer to create your own custom cosmetics packaging is easy. The process is as follows:
-
-
- Design your image in the graphics program of your choosing, utilizing premade, application-specific templates. These templates help support the accurate placement of graphics, especially if you use a jig.
- Save your design as a PDF, PNG, JPG, BMP, EPS or TIF file.
- Turn on the Breva printer and load the appropriate color cartridge for your design.
- Place the appropriate jig with the item(s) you wish to print on into the Breva printer.
- Input the height of the item you wish to print on and your desired color saturation value (up to 100%) into the Breva Control Center.
- Open your saved design, hit “Print” and you’re done! The Breva Control Center will automatically load your file onto the printer for immediate printing.
If there’s a particular design you intend to use frequently, you can save it to the Breva — which can hold up to 50 files — and automatically print it without having to repeat the steps listed above.
