We are
nearly ready to launch our new digital printing website for an instant online
service for the supply of personalised business stationery – www.direct2print.co.
The theme is
a “Fresh Approach to Digital Printing” – because we feel this is how most business
printing will be ordered within the next five years.
The imagery
has been designed to complement the theme – a new and fresh way to order
printing and fresh natural scenes.
Our strategy
with this new site is simple. We aim to combine
our experience of retail and online print for some of the more popular digital printing
products.
We will try
and provide the same type of service we provide through our retail Business
Centre to customers further afield.
This is
predominantly digitally printed stationery and marketing materials. Which means you do not need to order large
quantities and delivery is much faster than from traditional internet
commercial print providers.
At the same
time quality is superb. And there all
the other usual benefits of web2print – with simplified administration, time
savings and simplicity of the order process.
Print on
Demand and web2print is the future of the quick print market. With savings in cost, time and administration
– ordering printed products is made easy.
In total,
the whole process of pricing and placing an order takes no more than a couple
of minutes and three easy steps to complete.
How to Process a Two
Minute Order Online?
1. Find the product you require to be
printed.
2. Select quantity and specifications
to get the price.
3. Place order and upload a
print-ready PDF file.
The
automated order process keeps clients informed at each new stage of the
production process. Then sit back and
wait for delivery.
In most
cases delivery is within 48 hours – and this cost will be free on all orders
over £50.
It really
couldn’t be any easier!
Our Product Range
Although the
range of products and options with printing is substantial, in most cases the
majority of clients require just standard specifications.
So
initially, we will concentrate only on the most popular printed products used
for small businesses, such as letterheads, business cards, brochures and
leaflets.
Business Cards
These items
make up the vast majority of our digital print orders at our Digital Print
Business Centre in Stourbridge.
Our primary
client base will remain the small or micro sized companies that still value the
importance of print within their overall marketing mix but do not need the
large quantities of previous years.
Company Brochures
We can even
print one or two brochures if necessary – although typically quantities range
between 50 and 500 for digital printing.
Over time we
will be able to add more and more products to the range being offered. We will soon be adding self-carbonating
forms, labels, certificates, tickets & vouchers.
Already
there are some items which clients find difficult to source elsewhere online.
For example,
simple mono printing in small order quantities can be hard to find. And yet we produce large volumes through our
Business Centre. This can be anything
from standard forms, newsletters to simple tickets or change of address
postcards.
We will also
be able to supply a range of co-ordinated print products for a particular
target market. For example, food outlets do not just need some form of menus
but a multitude of other printed items such as table mats, tent cards or
receipt pads. The options can be
extended with some of the special materials now suitable for digital printing –
such as tear-free paper.
With very
effective matt and gloss lamination – professional menus can be quickly printed
and delivered – allowing flexibility to change contents and specials on a
regular basis.
Samples of menus
And in the
next series of blogs will concentrate on the various merits of different
finishes and styles of each product category.
A good
example is our Postcard range – which are available with either the matt or gloss
laminating options.
Samples of Postcards
We will post
these on an on-going basis throughout the first few months – but if there are
any products you feel we need add or incorporate we would welcome any
suggestions.
