There are a lot of printing companies that offer good prices, fast turnaround times, and quality work. Then there are those that don’t. Choosing the best commercial printing company for you can be a difficult task. Here are some things to ask yourself when looking for the right one:

Are they experienced in the area that I need?
Look for how many years the commercial printer has been around and the experience that they can offer. A lot goes into producing what a customer envisions. The choices customers have such as: stock, finishes, colors, and sizes can be overwhelming. Choosing a commercial printing company that can guide you through the process and that understands the balance between cost and quality is extremely important.

How is their customer service?
Printing projects require a lot of communication between the commercial printer and the customer. Initial consultations, estimating, sending samples and approving proofs are just part of the process. Quick response times and quality advice is imperative to making your project successful.

What kind of printing equipment do they have available?
The costs and quality of the printing can be heavily dependent on the type of equipment that it is running on. A commercial printing company should be able to offer a variety of technologies including: offset printing, digital printing, large format printing and web printing. Die cutting, binding machines and other services allow for a convenient one stop shop for customers which can be a big plus, especially when you need a fast turnaround time.

Are they socially responsible?
Printing companies have the ability and technology to do their part in protecting the environment. Ask about certifications and processes that prove that they are a “green” printing company. Questions having to do with recycling, environmentally friendly inks, and FSC certification are good ones to ask when digging into just how responsible they are.
