Print brokers have been around since the invention of the printing press. Some are "fly by night" shysters that will do you over if given the chance; others are reputable multi million dollar companies that have branded their trust and experience with years of service. It is the "fly by night" sham operations that gives the profession a bad name, but all in all the concept of one company sourcing all of your print projects is brilliant.
Let's take a look at what a print broker does and how they can save your company time and money.
Not all printing presses are the same. They're just not. They vary in sizes, uses, capabilities, etc. Some are built for high quantity projects, some are built for low quantity projects...some are for labels, some are for signs. As many different products there are to be printed, there are just as many different machines to do the printing.
Print brokers go out into a defined network of printers and manufacturers and match your job to the best equipment built for that particular job. Usually this results in several manufacturers competing to produce your product, which means lower prices for you the consumer.
Not only will using a broker save you time by not having to search and call 50 different printers for one job, but they can give you feedback and advice on the most efficient way to set up and run your projects which will save you even more money.
If you are looking to have your products printed on the "best fit" equipment then you need to tap into power of an experienced and knowledgeable print broker.
