When you need a commercial printer, what is the first thing that you do?
If you are like most people, you head right to Google and click on the first result – which will likely be an ad for an online print shop like Vistaprint or Officemax.
While you might feel like one of these places is the best option for you and your business, there are a lot of things you might be considering that can make or break the success of your project. While they have their advantages, hiring a local Racine commercial printer can save you much more time, money, and energy.
Cost Vs. Quality
The biggest attraction of ordering your printing online is the price. These online stores can keep the price down because of their national reach and smaller overhead. While a lower price is great and might be the thing that makes or breaks your decision, you have to remember that the age-old saying holds true; “You get what you pay for.”
While you might think you are ordering nice card stock with that nice glossy finish, you’ll be sad to discover upon delivery that your order is nowhere near the quality you were hoping. That, along with the risk of national delivery, makes the possibility of receiving a damaged package much more likely. IF you are working with a tight timeline, a ruined box could be a disaster.
A local printer is likely going to be a little more expensive than a national company, but you are much more likely to get the quality you expect.
Local printers are actually quicker
Need something done yesterday? We can help with that.
While you might think that your printing project is getting done more quickly with an online printer, it would actually be faster to go with a local company. The main difference is shipping. Because of the number of orders that are being made daily, there will likely be a lot of downtime between the time you submit your files and your project starts actually being worked on. Add in 3-4 days for shipping and you are looking at a week before you receive anything.
Working with a printing company in Racine cuts down on that time significantly. Just like online printers, you can submit your files to us completely online through our portal. Once your project is submitted, we get to work right away, completing the job. There are even certain types of projects that we can have ready next-day! Talk about a quick turnaround!
If there is a mistake, you might not find out until it’s too late
You get the email notification and you can’t help but feel excited! Your printed material is arriving today. You grab the box, rip it open, and your jaw drops… They are all wrong.
Maybe the layout is slightly crooked, words are cut off from some pages, or the card stock isn’t what you ordered. Whatever the problem might be, your prints are completely useless. You could send an email and get your money back, but that doesn’t solve the problem you have right now!
This doesn’t happen when you order from Econoprint. We include steps in our process to ensure your print arrives exactly the way you wanted it. If we do make a mistake, we have the ability to fix it immediately and deliver it to you as soon as the next day!
While it might seem like trusting your printing to an online vendor seems like it will save you all sorts of time and money, it could end up costing you much more and giving you a much bigger headache. Hiring a Racine printing company like Econoprint ensures that you get exactly what you are looking for and your project turns out exactly as you expect it to.
Ordering from Econoprint is just as easy as ordering from any of the big guys. You can do it right online and our team of experts will get to work. If we don’t have what we need to make sure everything goes perfectly, we will contact you before moving forward so there are no surprises.
