Stages of the Printing Process
Are you wanting to use print for your business but aren’t quite sure how to get started or what to expect in the process? Perhaps you’ve used a large corporate printing service or an online vendor and you’re looking for one entity to deliver all your printing needs. Discover how the print process works and how a partnership with a local printing company can save you time and money on your printing projects.
What to Expect in Each Stage
At Single Source, we eliminate any hassle by providing a personal print expert to guide you through our entire print process. With our simple and easy-to-follow process, we deliver the print you desire with a quick turnaround time. Here is what you can expect during each stage of the process:
Discovery – First, we’ll meet to listen to your ideas and what you are wanting to accomplish so we can better understand your print goals. We will discuss product options, budget, project timeline, and give you a sample to take with you.
Design – Our graphic designers will bring your print ideas to life and present you with options to choose from. We can work with your own personal design or create something from scratch. Decisions will be made regarding color, layout, font, paper type, and coatings to ensure every detail is covered regarding your project.
Quote – Once you have chosen your design and print product options, you will receive a free quote from us before making any final decisions. Your quote will include everything that goes into the entire print process from start to finish, so you won’t have any surprise costs pop up later in the conversation.
Proof – After moving forward with your print project, we will implement a final approval of accuracy to guarantee your order is correct. We will show you what the final printed piece will look like and give you the opportunity to review the product for spacing, color, or typos. At this time, edits will be made to create your final product.
On-time Delivery – The final step of the print process is delivery of your printed products. We offer a quick turnaround time on projects so you can receive your print products quickly and start watching your brand grow.
Customer Service – We strive to deliver the best personal attention to customers and clients. Upon completion of your project, we will always follow up with you to ensure you have had the best possible experience with us. We appreciate any feedback you give us so we can continually improve our service.
A Few Things to Consider
No matter what print you desire for your business, partnering with a local print company is a simple way to obtain the print you need. When choosing who to work with, be sure to use an experienced printing service that has a streamlined printing process to meet all your needs. You’ll avoid having to use multiple vendors, which will save you time and money. Work with a company who offers print product samples to help you evaluate their quality of print. Reviews and referrals are a great way to find the right print company for your business.
