There are many things to consider on any print project. The material, equipment and application that you and your printer choose can all affect cost and quality. Whether you are looking at a new design project or just need a little help refining what you have already started, it is important to find a printer that can consult with you to customize your project to meet your quality standards while staying within your budget.
Coordinate your layout and graphics. By working with your printer to coordinate your layout and graphics, you will get a harmonious look, top quality, and lower costs. You and your printer can discuss how to make sure your materials will last as long as you expect, and a good printer will offer alternatives for your individual project based on price, permanence, and appearance.
The print method can also have a big impact on the final cost of your project. Depending on the size of the print run, time frame, material choice, durability requirements, etc., your printer can help you choose the method that will keep your costs down while still achieving the standards you require.
Custom Orders. Ask your printer to help you work through custom orders. Giving accurate requirements and working with your printer on how divide up runs can be critical in saving time and money. Your printer may even be able to free you completely of this lengthy chore. If the job is being done right, you will see time and cost savings, price consistency, on-time delivery and accurate billing.
Digital technology. Have your printer prototype your first print run using digital technology. You will get a very accurate representation of what your final product will look like and how it will perform when manufactured in production, all at a very economical price. This can eliminate the cost of having to re-do a project due to unexpected results.
Efficiency. Time is money. By finding a printer that can take every aspect of your print project out of your hands (printing, finishing, packaging, shipping, application) you will reduce your day-to-day workload and be freed up to focus on more strategic issues.
