Guide To Online Printing Services

Using an online printing company can be a strange experience for those who are used to going into a printing store. For a start, you are usually not able to see the prints as a sample before they are sent out to you and you have to rely on a lot of judgment as opposed to having a prototype. We are going to look at some tips for you in terms of what to look out for when choosing an online printing company and how to get the best prints available.

Reputation

Usually the big name companies get most of the business for a reason. While there are always some exceptions to this rule, choosing an established name is generally a safer bet in online printing. Due to the fact that one bad job can take away a lot of business from a printing firm, the ones that are established are generally there for a reason.

Samples

We mentioned above that ordering business cards, catalogues, leaflets or flyers online can be a bit of a risk due to the fact that you won’t have a mock up aside from what is on your screen when you are creating the image. How do you know what kind of quality the firm produces or how their designs look in person? Looking out for a company that offers free samples is a great way in which you can properly assess their work without parting with any money.

Templates

If you are not much of a graphic designer yourself or have no-one on your staff who is either, then finding the right design for a business card, portfolio or leaflet can be a challenge. Looking for an online printing service that has readymade templates can eradicate this problem. All you need to do with these templates is fill in boxes with your own information and then order. It is as simple as that and in a few minutes you can have designed hundreds of business cards just by filling in your information.

Range of Services

If you need several things done at once such as new business cards, hundreds of leaflets and perhaps some promotional calendars then going around each company to do this is time consuming, not to mention an administrative nightmare with different receipts, delivery dates, etc… However, many online printing services now offer multiple options beyond just simple printing documents, flyers and business cards, and you can find many that will aide you with website design, promotional and marketing items to name just a few.

Templates

A company having their own templates to use when you order is a big bonus, however what about their own design team? A low of businesses want to use their own design on material but there might be some obviously problems with it – color coordination, formatting, size, etc. Some of the only printing firms nowadays have their own in-house design team that can offer advice and actually fix the images for you to create an all-round better design.

Conclusion

Taking the step and going online for your printing needs can take time to adjust to. Doing everything in an almost automated way with online designers, websites and delivery can be a difficult step however there are a lot of benefits to be had not to mention that online printers are usually cheaper per item. Finding a printer with a good range of services that you can see produces quality work in an effective manner will ensure that you get the high standard of printing work for your business or for personal use.
