BUT… what can a print management company or print broker bring to your business that a normal printer or staff member can’t?

Print Management is easily summed up…. it manages a print project from start (Concept & Design) to finish (final delivery and beyond). Print Management businesses will specify a job, procure the print, project manage along the way and arrange suitable delivery, so you don’t have to. We even store it for you too, saving you space.

With that in mind, let’s take a look at the businesses you’ll normally come across:

WHAT is Print Management?

Print Manager

Some printers call themselves this – as quite correctly, they manage your print from start to finish, but on their own presses. Which can sometimes lead to jobs being produced on the incorrect press which can, in turn, lead to you paying higher prices.

Print management Companies with presses

These businesses funnily enough have their own presses! They send the work to fill these first as capacity needs to be at approx 80%+, so empty space costs money. They can usually procure and manage work for other items as well.

Independent print management companies

Independent print management businesses aren’t tied to their own presses, they’re also not tied to individual suppliers. They’re there to add value to your business & help it grow. Independent print management companies offer consultancy, advice, purchasing, project management and a huge range of other value added services to help your business grow.

WHAT are Print Management Companies Great at?

As Print Management Companies work with a number of printers, they can print everything a business needs.

Their business is there solely to add value to your business so they should bend over backwards to help you out (and we do).

What else do we do?

Negotiate

Do you have the expertise and the print knowledge to analyse and negotiate with the print market as a whole? If the answer is no, a print management company can help you get the most from your budget by negotiating with the marketplace on your behalf.
