Breva Printing Jigs

The Breva printer uses jigs to hold products in place for personalized printing. These jigs enable you to personalize multiples of the same product, ensure consistent print quality and optimize production efficiency, all while minimizing waste. All Breva jigs come with corresponding templates and settings for graphics positioning, making it easy to add custom designs.

ITNH offers multiple stock jigs for the Breva printer that are designed to support custom cosmetics label and packaging printing.  We can also create custom jigs to provide maximum print efficiency and quality — whether you plan to personalize one item at a time or multiple items, ITNH can work with you to create the optimal jig for your intended application.

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:

      1. 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.
      2. Save your design as a PDF, PNG, JPG, BMP, EPS or TIF file.
      3. Turn on the Breva printer and load the appropriate color cartridge for your design.
      4. Place the appropriate jig with the item(s) you wish to print on into the Breva printer.
      5. 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.
      6. 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.
