Choosing a printing house in 2018

Has your relationship with your printing contractor worsened? Are you no longer satisfied with the quality, deadlines, or just want to try something new? We offer you some useful tips to help you choose a reliable modern printing house.

First tip. Equipment

The most obvious thing to pay attention to is the equipment fleet. Real printers love to talk about it. Ask if the “basket” contains various types of printing – digital, offset, large-format. The more different technologies there are, the less you have to look for additional partners. And the more profitable it will be to place an order - the manager will definitely tell you which option is the most economical for a particular circulation. Agree, it’s not bad if in the same printing house you can order business cards with booklets, and cups with T-shirts< /a>, and advertising structures, and banners...

The availability of various finishing equipment is also important. If the printing house does not have enough of it, then it outsources your order - and this entails losses in time and quality. And the cost is not reflected in the best way.

At the same time, it is necessary that the equipment be modern - then it is characterized by a high degree of automation. Which in practice means fewer errors, faster work, more accurate color.

And, of course, the best option is when the equipment is not just modern, but unique. Let's say there are very few hybrid offset presses in Ukraine. And they allow you to combine different types of varnish and achieve very beautiful unusual effects - for example, snake skin or a sandy surface. In addition, such machines print with UV-curable inks, which provide a brighter and more durable image that does not fade over time and is not afraid of scratches.

Tip two. Partnership

A manager in a good printing house will definitely help bring any ordinary project to perfection. His task is to offer options for post-print finishing, help you choose paper, and tell you where you can save money. He becomes part of your team, works with you shoulder to shoulder and is no less interested in the result than you are.

In addition to the manager, an important condition is the presence of a staff of qualified designers who are well versed in the intricacies of printing technologies. Both the quality and cost of the final product also depend on them.

However, you shouldn’t rely only on employees either - if color or some other indicator is very important, ask to be present at the adjustment (this is the word printers use to indicate the start circulation, setting up equipment - all the manipulations that are required to reach the first print run).

Tip three. Additional services

The presence of a designer in the printing house has already been mentioned. Even if you have your own design, it will still help you adapt it to the requirements of the printing house and tell you how you can improve the appearance of the product and reduce the cost of circulation using modern printing technologies.

Another need is to have a convenient website with possibility of ordering printed products. Not in all cases you need to go to the office and talk through all the details. If the products are standard and you have a design, it is quite convenient to place an order, pay for it and receive it without leaving your home.

When looking at various websites of printing companies, pay attention to the selection of products, the ability to check your design, payment methods and delivery. The more options, the more the printing house cares about the client. And taking care of the client is a guarantee of stable and good relationships.

Of course, finding a printing house that meets all these criteria is not easy. But there are very many such people in Ukraine. For example, the Wolf printing house has everything you need: unique modern equipment, qualified employees, pleasant service, affordable prices. And very tasty coffee in the offices...
