In-House Color Printing: More Control, Less Cost

For years, many companies have outsourced their printing to agencies or centralized print centers. On paper it sounds efficient, but in reality it often means delays, rigid minimum quantities, outdated materials, and hidden costs.

Why bringing printing in-house just makes sense

Keeping critical printing in-house isn’t just about convenience; it’s about operational control.

Key benefits of in-house color printing:

  • Faster response times – Print instantly when something changes: prices, promos, regulations, barcodes.

  • Lower waste – No more throwing away obsolete brochures, labels or forms after a small update.

  • Brand consistency – Same colors, same layout, same quality across all branches and locations.

  • Data security – Sensitive documents never leave your infrastructure.

  • Operational independence – You’re not dependent on external vendors’ schedules or minimum order quantities.

In sectors like logistics, manufacturing, retail, banking, healthcare and food & beverage, this agility translates directly into better service and more efficient operations.

How to start bringing printing back in-house

If you’re considering moving more printing in-house, a simple, structured approach helps:

  1. Map what you’re currently outsourcing

    Identify labels, documents, manuals, brochures, forms and signage that could be printed on a Printronix LP654C or LP844C.

  2. Group by media and volume

    Understand which items are heavy-volume and which are small-batch but frequently updated.

  3. Pilot in one site or department

    Deploy a device in a key warehouse, branch or production line and track time saved, reprints reduced and vendor spend avoided.

  4. Standardize templates

    Create approved digital templates (labels, forms, signage) so local teams can safely print what they need without breaking brand or compliance rules.

  5. Scale to more sites

    Once you have proof of value, extend the same model to more branches, warehouses and teams.
