Where Label Printers Lose Jobs & Margin
Real bottlenecks. Real costs. Real fixes.
These are the patterns Clicarity helps businesses identify and fix within the first few weeks.
Colour Approval
Jobs waiting 6 days for approval — deadline missed before production even started
A label printer tracked time from proof sent to approval received. Average approval time: 6.2 days. Clicarity flagged jobs after 2 days. Proactive follow-up reduced average approval time to 1.8 days. On-time delivery improved 40%.
Approval cycle reduced from 6.2 to 1.8 days
Substrate Waste
Make-ready waste running 22% above standard — nobody measuring it
Tracking waste at press setup revealed make-ready waste was 22% of total substrate consumption on short runs. Root cause: inconsistent colour matching procedures. Standard process documented. Make-ready waste reduced to 8%.
Make-ready waste reduced from 22% to 8%
Die Cut Rejection
8% rejection at die cutting — same die, same problem every month
Stage-wise rejection tracking showed die cutting rejection was 8% consistently — on the same die every month. The die was worn but nobody had raised it because the overall numbers looked manageable. Die replaced. Rejection dropped to 0.8%.
Die cutting rejection reduced from 8% to 0.8%
Real Printing Business. Real Results.
""Colour approval was our biggest blackhole. Jobs would go to the customer for approval and we had no idea where they were. Now every approval is a tracked stage. We follow up at the right time instead of when it is already too late.""

Questions from label printing businesses
How does Clicarity work for a printing business specifically?
Clicarity is configured around your specific print workflow — pre-press, printing, finishing, dispatch — in your terminology. Every job gets a unique ID and moves through your defined stages. You see live status, timestamps, and bottleneck alerts at every stage. The Clicarity team builds everything for you. You go live in 5 days.
Does it work for both offset and digital printing?
Yes. Clicarity works for any print process — offset, digital, wide format, screen printing, or a combination. The stages are configured around your actual workflow. If offset jobs go through plate making and digital jobs skip that stage, both can be tracked correctly under the same system.
Can it track material wastage at each stage?
Yes — with the Multi Licence. At every stage, your team logs quantity in and quantity out. Clicarity calculates the loss automatically. You see wastage by stage, by job, live — not at month-end when nothing can be done about it.
Will my press operators actually use it?
Yes. The update screen has two fields — Job ID and status. Under a minute. No training needed. GP Offset's entire team was using it from day one, including floor workers who had never used a software system before.
See every job. Every approval. Before the deadline slips.
