Free iPhone app gives users custom label bids in seconds

Press release from the issuing company

Denver, CO - iPhone users can now get a free custom label printing quote in less than a minute with the new iLabel application from Denver-based Lightning Labels, LLC, America's first all-digital label printer.

To download the world's first iPhone label quoting application, users simply go to iTunes and search for iLabel. "It's fast, easy and can be done from anywhere," notes Lightning Labels founder Peter Renton. "Fill out six selection fields and get a price almost instantaneously. I've been able to get the entire process down to a little over 30 seconds, a far cry from the days when custom printing quotes often took days to turn around."

Impetus for building a dedicated label printing quote application was the high volume of iPhone users getting quotes from the main Lightning Labels website. "We decided to make it super easy for these people," Renton says.

Notes James Lowry, Lightning Labels General Manager, "Quote information is immediately forwarded to the appropriate customer service representative. Users can tap a button to call Lightning Labels and discuss details, deadlines and any other applicable information with a rep fully apprised of their needs-saving additional time and effort."

Convenience and time-savings continue past the iLabel quoting stage through project completion. "We provide a state-of-the-art web-based system for uploading artwork, and can handle all fulfillment requirements in a streamlined fashion as well," emphasizes Christy Correll, Lightning Labels Online Marketing Specialist. "In the amount of time it used to take to get a custom label printing quote alone, we can now complete, ship and in some cases even deliver the job. This takes the concept of web-based printing and fulfillment to a new level."

Custom label printing itself has taken on an entirely new look and feel. With the advent of and advancements in digital printing, it's now possible to economically and rapidly create up to thousands of different looks on thousands of product or promotional labels.

Label sizes and shapes can likewise be as varied as the imagination-ranging from ½-inch circular to 11 x 17-inch rectangular.
