Print Management is an almost exclusively underestimated job. When the design work is complete, that’s really only half the battle, especially if you have some really custom aspects to the printing.

Here are 4 ways industry printing can go horribly wrong!

1. Scheduling Print Slots – Everything doesn’t always go to plan with creative and deadlines, especially if you have a lot of amends or your pricing all changed last minute. Re scheduling Print slots to accommodate this can sometimes end up being a full time job!

2. Sourcing Paper – There’s more to paper than meets the eye! Sometimes the quality of a brochure or flyer isn’t just the artwork but the texture and weight it is printed on. Expert knowledge of paper can make your project.

3. Last minute changes – Oh no! Its gone to print but there’s a last minute change! Its possible to still save a project at this stage but only if you know the ins-and-outs of the industry!

4. Postal and Finishing houses – Sometimes the printer isn’t the end of the process. If you have need of finished creative being delivered to hundreds of addresses or an additional process like folding or binding then there may be another step in the process! Managing all these different companies can be a nightmare!
