How to Find The Right Digital Printing Company for Your Business
Choosing the right digital printing company can be a big challenge. There are so many printing companies and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. We explain what you should pay attention to when looking for the right printing company!
How to choose the right digital printing company?
Finding the right digital printing company can be a challenge, especially when you know what aspects you need to consider. However, there are a few basic guidelines that can help you choose the best printing company for your business.
Firstly, you should make sure that the printing company has experience in printing high-quality products. This is important to ensure that your products are printed and delivered properly. Additionally, make sure that the printing company is able to deliver within the time frame you specify. Finally, you need to make sure that the cost of printing is service orientated and not overpriced.
Different printing technologies and products
The first important question you should ask yourself is which products you would like to order from the digital printing company. Which media (board, tarpaulin, fabric, film) would you like to have printed? For which purposes and in which areas (indoor and/or outdoor) would you like to use the prints?
We recommend that you choose a printing company that covers the majority of your requirements to avoid having 10 different contacts for different media and areas of application. If you are ordering for an exhibition stand, for example, it makes sense for logistical reasons alone to order from a digital print shop that can supply film, panels and fabrics.
Quality of digital printing companies
When your printed product arrives, the quality should of course match. Are the designs as you ordered them? Do your prints fit into the existing systems?
Digital printing sounds simple at first, but is actually quite complex to realize. That’s why it is worth having an expert with years of experience at your side, even for smaller projects. However, for large projects involving large quantities or large areas, an expert at your side is a must.
Even for special projects with higher requirements, such as a facade banner, the experts with years of experience know immediately what to do and offer you more freedom in designing your project.
Price/performance ratio
One factor that is often underestimated when considering price/performance is the time you invest. In an earlier section, we told you why it makes sense to have an expert at your side who can print and assemble various media.
The less printing companies you have to contact, the more time you save in the entire process, from researching to placing the order, following up and checking whether everything is there properly and on time.
Printing companies are often like wine. The very cheap ones simply don’t taste good because the ingredients used are often not of high quality and production has to be quick and kept simple. Very expensive wines are often not worth it because they don’t taste so different from other good wines in the middle price segment.
This decision factor is not called ‘price/performance’ for nothing. What service, apart from the finished product, is behind your order? Is the order overview clear? Do you get good advice? Will someone get back to you quickly if errors occur? Do you receive information about new materials on the market? How easy is it to track your order? Service is the magic word which is the answer.
We hope that this article has given you a good basis for choosing your digital printing company.
