If you are a regular print buyer and would like to
know when you can get a bargain on printing, this
article is for you. Black Friday and Cyber Monday
are perfect days to kick off a shopping season, and
this article will help you get the most out of your
print budget and help you plan a time line. With
printing, timing is everything!
Printing presses are large and expensive machinery
which need to run around the clock to pay for their
keep. Most commercial printers run at least two shifts
during the week and additional shifts on weekends.
Some presses run 24/7 and it is not practical to shut
them down. An experienced crew is needed to run
the presses, along with an experienced support staff.
The best option for a printng company is to keep
the presses running. Therefore, printers may offer
incentives and discounts during slow periods to keep
the presses rolling.
The printing industry is very busy during the holiday
season as many companies have calendars and other
year end marketing materials printed during this
time. Summer is also a very busy time for printers.
As the season changes to fall, deadlines become
tighter right into the holiday season. Most customers
plan to get everything done in preparation for the
New Year. During the holidays, many employees and
customers take time off for a vacation. This, coupled
with some snow days, can create an opportunity for
open press time right after the New Year.
The presses roll once a proof is approved and signed.
This is the opportune time to submit your job early,
get the proof approved, and have the printer fit it into
the production schedule. When clients do not push
for faster turnaround, printers are able to schedule
jobs more efficently and keep the presses running.
This is the time to print your marketing materials
and get best deals on your printing projects. If you
want the most for your money, plan to print in early
January. Time line: have your files ready before
the holiday and sign the proof by New Year. Also,
allowing more time for the printer to get the job
done will lead to a better rate. Ask your TigerPress
sales rep for assistance to plan this. The larger the
print project the higher your discount. Help us keep
the presses rolling in January, and TigerPress will help
you to stretch your printing budget!
