Reputable print management companies can offer a wide range of services, such as corporate stationery, advertising literature, brochures or large window graphics. Their skills can be utilised by all kinds of businesses, whether they are a sole trader or a large multinational firm.

Great print management companies should be able to respond quickly to any customer request. They should be able to find the best and most cost-effective way of meeting the customer’s requirement, by using the latest print and production technology. Some print management companies can provide their customers with up to date software, which can even notify the owner when the stocks are running low, prompting a new order to be made. This can be invaluable to many business owners, who may not have the time to keep on top of what may be seen as mundane tasks.

The environment is increasingly becoming a priority for many businesses, and for print management UK companies, this is no different. Many print management companies can now offer their customers more eco-friendly options. For example, they may prefer to have their adverts printed onto either 100% or 50% recycled paper which is produced from an FSC approved source. They may also prefer to make use of biodegradable laminate or vegetable based inks, and also may seek to only order paper based products which are 100% recyclable.

Print management UK companies will initially meet with a customer to discuss the background of the business, before ascertaining the precise printing requirements for the project. A cost plan can then be drawn up, and then the materials required for printing can be sourced according to the budget and the quality required.

Many print management UK companies prefer to specialise in one particular area. For example, they may focus on retail companies, or perhaps they may be experts in the calendar industry. By specialising in one particular area, they can really provide their customer with the knowledge, skills and experience their customer deserves, ensuring they always have a solution to their print management needs.

When businesses are looking to have materials printed – whether this be brochures, leaflets, posters, flyers or other items – there are many distinct advantages to working with a print management Birmingham company as opposed to dealing directly with the printer. This will be particularly true when the business has no experience of the print industry or has not worked with a printing company before.

The principal benefit of engaging a print management West Midlands company, or one that is located close to the business, is that it can reduce the cost of the print without compromising on the quality. Print management companies can buy in bulk and hence they get discounts on print so they can pass these on to their clients in the form of better prices than when going directly to a print company.

Using the expertise of a print management company can also help businesses to better control their budgets – as they will start to build a relationship with the print managers and get to know what to expect in terms of quality and price which will enable them to plan for future projects and have a good idea of how much money to set aside for these projects.

Some print management West Midlands companies will allow you to order online and even when they don’t offer this they can send you back proofs for approval before the final artwork goes to print. This gives businesses the security that they can check everything before it is published just to make sure that there are no errors as this could be disastrous once the materials are disseminated to the target audience.

If businesses are unsure about what size, type of paper or finish they need for their printed materials then a print management company Birmingham can advise the business on what would suit them best based on their target audience, nature of their business and the budget that they have available.

Print sells. No matter which way you look at it there is nothing better than a glossy image printed on good quality paper to sell something and even better if it features something that people want to look at. One item that does this as well as having a functional purpose is the humble calendar. Hang it on your wall, stand it on your desk or pin it up on the peg board at work, no matter where you place it a calendar helps to keep people on top of their important appointments and dates whilst at the same time giving them something nice to look at.

A calendar printer can help people out if they are looking to create a calendar for their business, sporting team or perhaps for a charity occasion. There are many reasons why people will look to get a calendar published – perhaps to promote their business to existing and potential customers, maybe to raise money for charity or simply to give their brand or themselves greater exposure – whatever the reason having a print management Midlands company on hand to orchestrate proceedings is definitely a good idea.

Print management gives customers access to experts within the print industry who understand the techniques behind print and can recommend the right paper to use, the best finishing techniques to implement and the best way to make the most of the images, logos and text the customer wants to include in their calendar.

It is not only these business and individual customers who could make use of calendar print management because there is also a need for calendar publishers, design agencies and corporate buyers to take advantage of the tailored solutions such a calendar printer can provide. These printers can manage a wide range of calendar formats including wall calendars, desk calendars, slim calendars and square calendars – always ensuring that the customer chooses the right one to meet their requirements.

Whatever the nature of the buyer or whether the customer is a charity, school, business or design agency the print management Midlands service provided will always be the same in terms of the bespoke service they offer and the expertise they bring to the fold.

The historic Stationer’s Hall near St Paul’s Cathedral in London was the setting for this year’s National Calendar Awards, an event which serves to reminds us how ‘healthy and buoyant’ the calendar industry is. A panel of 12 industry judges had their work cut out to judge the 400 entries including our very own corporate calendar ‘Portrait of my Best Friend’ which was nominated for the best corporate bespoke calendar and fought off stiff competition to eventually lose out to the Pirelli calendar.

Eight Days A Week were the proud printers of three category winners and 8 nominees including:

Retail Calendars – Humour – Characters:

• Downton Abbey (category winner)
• Keith Lemon (nominee
• Where’s Wally (nominee)

We also sponsored the Excellence in Illustration category, which was won by the Tracey Russell Deluxe Planner (printed by Jarrolds) and the People’s Choice category, which was voted the best calendar on the night by all attendees.
Following the presentation of awards, The Apprentice finalist Ruth Badger spoke about her experiences on the TV show and also gave her opinion on the calendar industry, saying:

“What surprises and refreshes me about this industry is that it is not only surviving, but growing and competing.”

It was a fantastic evening and I think we’d all agree that we are looking forward to next year’s event!

When businesses and individuals are looking to source printed materials for their own use or to sell on to their customers as part of a profit making or charity based exercise then there is great need to ensure that these products are of a sufficiently high quality to impress their clientele whilst at the same time being good value to the person or organisation making the purchase. Managed print services take away any of the uncertainty associated with buying printed products when you are not completely familiar with what you need and will help to ensure that you get the right quality for the right budget.

Print management companies UK will work in the best interest of their customers to source high quality UK-based print services that will supply them with the products they need. Whether it is calendar printing for the annual rugby club charity event, posters and banners for an advertising campaign or a range of leaflets and flyers to promote the opening of a new restaurant, their expertise within the print industry means that they can help their customers to access the best print services around.

Not having knowledge about such things can cause businesses to make a bad decision when it comes to choosing the type of printed materials and the company to provide it. By ordering products that will not meet the eventual needs of the client a business could end up wasting precious time and money, not to mention the additional time and money it will cost to re-order something better to replace these unwanted items.

It is far better to work with managed print services who can offer their expert advice at the planning stage and help businesses avoid the common pitfalls of ordering the wrong kind of printed materials. For example they could order the wrong quantities or a quantity of items that is not cost effective, they could choose the wrong weight of paper or finishing method of they could order the wrong kind of print altogether. This is purely because they do not understand print technologies and how to get the best for their particular needs.

Print management companies UK understand these concerns and can use their vast experience of print technologies as well as their expansive contacts within the industry to manage the sourcing and delivery of your required printed materials so that you can sit back and relax knowing that your print is in safe hands.

When businesses, charity groups, schools, individuals or just about anyone is looking to get a large number of printed materials such as calendars ordered then there will be a lot of stress and shopping around involved if they want to get the best quality product for the best available price. However, there is a simpler way and that is to utilise the services of a print management UK company.

By using print managers who are based locally to you, not only can you benefit from being able to call in and see them and look at examples of the kind of printed materials they can source and produce but also you know that you are never too far away from them should you have a query or something is not quite right with the items you have ordered.

The benefits of using print management West Midlands services far outweigh the reasonable costs you will pay for the privilege of letting someone else deal with all of your print ordering. After all, it is generally a good idea to let those who have experience and knowledge of print handle your orders because they know what will best suit your requirements and also how to get the best deal to fit in with your budget.

It might be that you do not fully understand the type of printed material required – i.e. what weight of paper, what kind of finish you require and whether you will be better off opting for a long print run or short print run. This will ultimately depend upon the number of items you require but in many cases, having extras printed becomes much more cost effective so as long as you have the space to store materials you may be better off to order 2000 instead of 1000.

Print management UK companies can advise you on all of this and take a lot of the hassle and time away from the print procuring process. One of the best ways to find these companies is to search online using keywords such as print management west midlands and then you are free to browse the websites listed in the search engine results pages to find a company that will best suit your needs.
