Why we like one-ink labels

Most of our packaging work is printed in a single colour. It is cheaper, but that is not the main reason.

One ink forces every decision to be about shape and spacing. There is nowhere to hide a weak mark behind a gradient, and the result survives photocopying, stamping and a tired printer on a Friday afternoon.

It also keeps small clients independent. A roaster or a bakery can reorder labels from any print shop in town, change the text themselves, and never need to ask what the second Pantone was.
