5 Digital Printing Tips For Dump Bin Displays

Time to read 7 min

Is Digital Good For Dump Bin Displays?

Dump Bin Displays are one of the most cost-effective display options. That's because, in addition to having a wide footprint, and allowing for more sophisticated designs, they allow you to do some very smart marketing. Switching to high-speed digital printing is the best method to acquire access to these strategies. 


Why? Isn't high-speed digital printing used for "short run" digital printing? Yes, it was the case in the past. However, as digital printing has moved beyond its infancy, the market has changed dramatically. These displays are all about impulse shopping, and that's where digital printing comes in.


Traditional printing processes are still used in large quantities, but the mentality that supports them is the problem. Approaches that are one-size-fits-all are no longer valid. To attract shoppers to your things, you must improve the brand experience, stay fresh, and use less resources. 


High-speed digital printing makes all of this feasible.

The History Of High-Speed Digital Printing With POP Displays

In the late 2000s, high-speed digital printing (HSDP) was introduced as a short-run production technology.


As "full color" printing has grown more inexpensive, high-speed digital printing has expanded to larger quantities. Despite having far faster production speeds than larger, traditional presses, it was limited to smaller POP Displays.


Bennett Packaging Bought The First Digital Press In North America


When we first witnessed what technology could accomplish, we felt Digital Printing was the way of the future. That's why we acquired a high-speed digital printer from a Spanish company and transported it to the United States. We anticipated that our clients would want the technology, so we set out to provide it as soon as possible. 


All of this information has put us ahead of the curve, and Bennett has been making strides in the digital world since then. We bought a second Digital Printer, making us the only company in North America with two of them in the same location. We're not looking back!

Tip #1 Print Alternate Graphics For The Display

The key to success with Dump Bin Displays is to make the most of the available space. This includes all of the product images, content, and graphics throughout the shop. Digital printing makes this feasible in ways that conventional printing does not.


Every Retailer


Every store you deal with is likely to have its own set of style rules and sizing restrictions. This means that you've previously made adjustments to the display and that your budget has grown. However, instead of using printing plates, you could just print a unique design on each of these displays, making them more appealing to the customers that buy there.


Different Regions


Each area where your display is displayed should have its unique design to match the clients that live there. You wouldn't want to hang beach photographs in the northeast during the winter. It just did not resonate with customers.


Unique Designs For Each SKU


Perhaps you're color-coding the displays by making a different display for each SKU. If all of your displays have the same design, they won't appear to be independent things. For example, a blueberry drink should be flowing with deep blues, while a strawberry display should be a brilliant red that looks as wonderful as the drink itself. Allowing a single picture to restrict your sales potential is a mistake.

Tip #2 Double Down On Sustainability

When you use high-speed digital printing for Dump Bin Displays, you may use a more environmentally friendly printing approach. Bennett can also help you with extra specialist machinery that we have on hand, which may speed up the production process dramatically.


Produce Less Waste


Digital printing produces less waste than traditional printing procedures. We've aided clients in decreasing waste by as much as 24% on the same transaction! What better way to take advantage of this than to include information about sustainability in your marketing?


Use Less Resources


Every Dump Bin Display you purchase will utilize water, power, and other resources. Digital printing, on the other hand, can save you up to 18% on your purchase. This becomes another arrow in your marketing quiver when you tell the customer what you're doing to help decrease your impact.


Less Time To Manufacture


Digital printing does not add time to your process, but it does cut down on the number of presses needed. You'll need additional equipment and workers for each color to run the designs independently in a conventional printing setup. Bennett's Digital Printer allows us to print all colors on a single press at the same time!

Tip #3 Use The Extra Budget Elsewhere

Because of the complete savings and the lack of printing plates, digital printing saves you money. Why not make greater use of it by growing your sales?


Order Additional Signage


You already know how much time Digital Printing will save you if you're currently designing signage for the displays. So, rather than conserving money, why not use it to buy more signage? Using larger displays in different parts of the store to encourage clients to spend more time looking at your products is a simple way to urge them to do so.


Take Some Chances


When you aren't spending all of your money on the displays, you have more discretion to take chances. It might be bringing a new flavor or style to market that was previously unavailable owing to cost and timing constraints. This is how we succeed in the long run!


Create Additional Marketing Materials


You might just use the time saved to create more marketing content to pique clients' interest in your product. Using digital printing technology, you may make new printed things such as flyers, brochures, advertising, and social media postings to market your business!

Tip #4 Get Your Display To Market Faster

The speed with which we can deliver your display to market is the most significant benefit of high-speed digital printing. You'll have to wait 6-8 weeks on average if you need printing plates. However, with digital, we can get you to the store faster.


Switch Artwork Mid-Production


Because of the simplicity of digital printing, we can modify the artwork on your Dump Bin display in the middle of production. This means you'll be able to move at the same pace as the market. Do you want to start a new trend or become a viral online sensation? Please provide it as quickly as possible.


Match Customer Demand


If client demand changes, we may adjust your Dump Bin display on the go. We want to make sure you're prepared in case a new flavor or style becomes popular. You can better match output to client demand when you work digitally.


Keep Your Marketing Fresh


One of the most tempting features of digital printing is that it makes it easier to maintain your marketing materials up to date. We can change a single item without affecting the remainder of the order if necessary, or we can print a new batch if necessary. It's never been easier to print a quick replacement item, whether it's a unique header, signage, or something else.

Tip #5 Conduct Tests In Key Markets

Conducting testing with your Dump Bin Displays in major markets is our favorite suggestion on the list. You won't be able to do so unless you switch to high-speed digital printing. 


You can decide whether digital printing is worthwhile by conducting a fast test of a certain market. Test a few marketplaces to observe how people react to your displays before investing tens of thousands of dollars in a full-fledged pilot operation. They should buy more if they're making money!


Test A New Product


When launching a new product, it is not always necessary to complete the entire pilot project in every market. After all, it's less expensive to test in one site than it is to test in several! In these cases, we recommend concentrating your testing efforts on a few key markets in order to get the most bang for your buck.


Test Products In A New Retailer


Maybe you're starting a new partnership with a retailer, and they'd like to test out a Dump Bin Display in one of their stores to see how customers react. You may effortlessly adjust your pictures to match the design of their retail shop with digital printing, increasing your chances of success.


Try New Graphics And Test Results


If you're not testing your existing marketing activities or Dump Bin Displays, you're missing out on vital data. One of the most popular marketing strategies is A/B testing. You could print a few designs to see which ones do better, and then use digital printing to invest in the best-performing display.
