Picking A Printing Company

When it comes to picking a printing company, you have to be very careful.  If you plan to do a lot of mass printings, you want to make sure that your company of choice can keep up with your needs, both in quantity and in quality.

When you're considering a printing company, always ask for references and work samples from them.  They should be able to provide both quickly and easily.  In fact, they should be proud to show off their work.

Also, be sure to question the printing companies that you are thinking of using about the materials that they use.  For example, these days it is absolutely vital to have color printing. 

Whether it's a brochure, business card or some other media, it's color that tends to catch someone's eye more than anything.  So, if a print shop that you're considering doesn't do full color printings, you should definitely pass them by.

Next, bear in mind that you'll probably be using the print company for a long time and for multiple projects.  So, you should make sure that they have great customer service. They should reply to messages quickly and in an informative way.  They should also be willing and able to meet whatever deadlines you may require for printing.

On top of all that, many printing companies will actually help you with your design process for brochures, business cards and more.  Their experts can often help you to alter your layout in whatever ways they think will get the best results.  Although the final say is yours, that can be handy advice.

Speaking of the final say being yours, just remember that the print company can't do its best if you don't do yours.  You have to know what you want from them.  So, be sure that you've decided on what you need printed and how many copies you need, to begin with.

Next, make sure that whatever you are printing contains all of the information that you need.  That should include any pictures, logos or text that you've picked out. Also, of course, it should include contact information for you or your company.

Finally, make sure that the information that you give the printing company is accurate, especially the contact information.  If even one number or letter is incorrect, potential customers may not be able to contact you, making your printed advertising materials useless.  Even the best printing company in the world can't do anything about such mistakes on your end.
