Filed under Custom Printing Tips and Guidelines , OnlinePrinting - Marketing Tips For Small Business

Full color labels are a great way to market a product or to help enhance your company’s branding and give you the ability to put your messages practically anywhere! These labels can be made in any size, shape or color. Using custom shapes is a great way to make your brand stand out, while material selection can be a key factor for specialized uses. Whether you are promoting an event, sports, packaging or business your labels can be vibrant, durable, and cost-effective if you make the right choices before you begin. Set You Apart from Competition Let your brand or product name stand out from the competition! By using a custom shape with multiple colors, you can be sure that your product will get noticed. With ever-increasing product competition, it is important to set yourself apart and custom cut labels can help give you that edge. Long Lasting If the product is going to be used outside or exposed to harsher conditions, the label can be printed on a polypropylene stock with a uv varnish or a laminate to be weather resistant. If the product is primarily used indoors, a paper material can be used to save money. Custom-Fit to Packaging Custom cut labels can be made to fit your packaging type. If you have an irregular shaped package or carton, the label can be fitted to match the contours of the packaging. This will give the product a clean and finished look. Endless Options Since these custom labels can be made in just about any size, shape, or color, the options are limitless. You can work with a graphic designer to have the perfect label made and then have them printed in quantities to suit your needs.  

Information to Include when Requesting a Print Quote from a Professional Printer

Filed under Custom Printing Tips and Guidelines

Getting a piece printed can be a long and daunting task, but well worth the effort when you see the finished product. As some people may be new to getting items printed from a professional print retailer, it can be relatively simple if you know how to initiate the process. If you can provide accurate information from the beginning, the process timeline can be shortened and frustration can be reduced. Include the following information in your initial request for a quote. Number of Pieces Include the number of pieces that you are planning to print. This number will impact the total cost. The more precise you are, the closer the final cost will be to the quote given by the printer. Number of Colors Include the number of colors you would like to have in the piece. This will affect the price of the finished product. More colors mean the overall price will be higher. Size of Piece Be sure to include the size of the piece you want a quote for. Many times a printer will have standard sizes to choose from. Research the printer and view the sizes they offer. If the size of the piece you are printing is a custom size, it will likely cost more, but this may prove to be a very good incremental investment. Budget Include your total budget so the printer has an idea of what they are working with. If what you are asking for is above your budget, they will let you know and work with you to find something that will be more achievable. Project Deadline Make sure to let the printer know when your final due date is. If it happens to be a rush job, it will cost extra. The extra cost comes from shipping and the amount of work involved in pushing your work to the front of the line. Contact Information Include the most up to date contact information. Information to include should be the primary contact, secondary contact, phone numbers and email addresses.
