Solutions

“Site instruction booklets are costing us a fortune - we need to keep replacing them daily because they get wet or damaged. Can you help?”

An unusual request from one of the top 5 house builders in the country. Not previously a client of print4tomorrow they were referred to us from another happy customer that had used our ‘solution sourcing’ service before. They had tried laminated cards but they just weren’t robust enough and kept being damaged and discarded.

Solution
Fortunately for the client, we have experienced this problem before when a luxury boat builder asked us to supply water resistant manuals for their new boats. Encapsulated paper was seen as a cheap looking finish and not long-lasting enough, therefore we sourced a polyester based paper that could be printed normally and felt similar to normal paper. Plus it was not only water resistant and wipeable, but virtually tear-proof. Just what our house builder needed and they could even have their sheets next day once they had placed their order!

Money Saving Tips

“Companies count the cost of 1000’s of wasted business cards every year”

The problem is simple, you’re workforce isn’t static - maybe people don’t work out, they leave, get married, change offices – the end result is you’re left with a pile of business cards you can’t use. Not good for your bank balance or the environment. With digital print you can save money by ordering any number of cards with no minimum order and you can receive delivery the next day – no need to wait for a group of people to make the quantities 'cost effective'.

Many people assume that by printing several different employees’ business cards at the same time conventionally, they will save time and money; this is not the case.

Digital print is an ideal solution when it comes to business cards as they can be turned around next day cost effectively, plus you only print the number of cards you actually require so very little waste. See below for the cost comparison…
