Why Use Print Management?
If you haven't used a print management company before, it may surprise you how competitive our pricing is, how excellent our customer service delivery is, it's simply second to none.
We achieve this because of the following:
Saving on cost
Buying power; our print spend runs into millions of pounds every year on which secures us the best pricing in the marketplace and a priority service from our loyal supplier base.
We are lean and are not burdened with the over-heads of a traditional printing operation (print machinery). We select the most appropriate suppliers for each job; we know what machinery they have, their experience and how best to produce the job. Our print knowledge means we recommend how to create economic formats, making in some cases huge savings by tailoring products accordingly. If you have the need for mailing then we can make sure you're getting the best deal on postage costs. There are a lot of discounts out there that are not being taken advantage of.
Security of delivering on time
We're attractive to suppliers, they are used to working with us; we place high volumes of work, they know they'll get paid, that we'll check the artwork and timings won't slip. We are very flexible. If there is a change in the schedule, we are not limited to one supplier's availability so we can act swiftly to move work, ensuring changing schedules can be met. We guarantee to deliver on time!
Capacity
Capacity is not an issue; we won't put another client's work in front of yours, you'll have your Account Director plus a full list of contacts to use. All artwork and requests are read fully as a priority and the minute we spot something that's not right we raise it, resolve it and redeem the situation.
Quality Control
All work is checked and signed off by a qualified print expert, a repro team member and your Account Director, nothing but the best print get's passed by us. Your Account Director will check the content before and after printing. The repro team will check to ensure that your artwork is in the correct format against your order and for printing.
A print expert will advise of any concerns before the job goes to print and also has to pass the samples delivered. Print will only be placed with suppliers that are approved a print qualified expert.
