Printed Matter Consultancy
Health check your existing purchasing strategy.
With over 24 years experience in the trade, I have seen the rise and fall of litho printing with the introduction of the internet. I have sourced, tested and implemented new print technologies and launched new print business models keeping up with new markets which included large format & point of sale printing, short format digital printing and a promotional products business.
I have also been estimating the best part of my career so know about what make up print costs, and have a mass of substrate and supplier knowledge.
In my experience, the traditional ways of print buying have changed and there is less knowledge being demonstrated from a lot of buyers which can lead to increased costs, an uneven playing field for print companies to compete on and general confusion for the print company allocated to complete the works. This can lead to costly mistakes.
If you are spending a sizeable amount of money on printed matter, whether it is litho, digital short format, or large format, then you should really seek an independent audit of your print spend activities. The results will be revealing and you should expect to save between 10 and 30% on your print spend depending on how well you are buying.
