print management

Expert print management is an underestimated resource. Print can make or break a project, and well-managed print can make even the simplest of projects into something special. Every print project has a seemingly bewildering array of variables, from paper stock to print techniques, from special folds to different foils. The wrong choice or a badly managed project can mean disaster in terms of quality, deadlines and cost. A well-managed project, however, can create outstanding results.

Why work with b1?

At b1 we can manage all your print requirements in-house. We will manage the whole project from beginning to end. Once all the variables have been decided, you can leave everything to us – briefing the job in, checking it at various stages, approving it on press, checking print quality, ink consistency, accuracy of folding, neatness of binding and so on. You just have to sit back and wait (not very long!) to see the finished product.

Our Head of Print Management has 15 years experience as a printer. That means we know exactly what will and won’t work for any particular project. We will consult with you, give you options to choose from and ensure your project meets quality and budget requirements. We will be able to use our experience to suggest solutions or to add value in ways you may not even have considered.

You can be assured that no-one is going to pull the wool over our eyes when it comes to print – we know the industry, the products and the jargon inside out. When we give you a price, there won’t be any hidden costs.

The price we give you will always be highly competitive thanks to our massive purchasing power. We buy print day-in, day-out from a roster of printers. We are able to make excellent deals and will pass the savings on to you.

We apply these principles to every project we undertake, whether it is the final stage of a design project we have undertaken or a print-only project. Equally, we will undertake a professional and cost-effective job whatever the project: give us a critically-important corporate document or a one-off flyer and we will commit ourselves to doing the best job possible for each of them.
