Okay, first of all… what are print on demand + web to print?
Print on demand is a modern, innovative print solution that provides your business with the opportunity to simplify your print processes and save resources. Printing on demand means printing only what you need when you need it, and, when paired with web to print, gives you the ability to order print products whenever and from wherever you’d like. Web to print is an online software for ordering print products and is available to customers 24/7; it gives you or your customers the opportunity to view products, proof products, and order products all at your own convenience.
Although there are many, many benefits of using print on demand and web to print services, especially when used together, today we will highlight six main benefits:
1. Greatly reduces turnaround times
- With pre-approved pricing, you’ll get to skip the seemingly endless back and forth communications and uncertainty of estimates. This allows you to know exactly what you’ll be paying before you hit ‘order’! Additionally, proofing sessions are a thing of the past with print on demand and web to print. Your colors, logos, and job specs are stored within your site so you can rest assured that your print order will be consistently on brand.
2. Improves accuracy of your print products
- With print on demand and web to print, you are able to make any and all changes to your print products with little to no hassle. Rather than needing to wait until the next business day to hear back on proofs or pricing, you’ll be able to update your print products whenever using your custom online storefront. Not only will this improve the quality of your communications with your customers, but will also improve the accuracy of your print products by removing the possibility of human error from the process.
3. Reduces your environmental impact
- Rather than throwing out a great deal of inventory whenever small changes are made, stop over-printing by only printing inventory when you receive orders for it! With fast turnaround times and immediate access to online proofs, you’ll have the inventory that you need promptly and be able to feel proud of the steps you’ve been able to take to reduce your ecological footprint.
4. Eliminates warehousing costs
- Web to print and print on demand services will, more often than not, be accompanied by fulfillment services. ION’s Action Web2Print solution, for example, allows you to ship directly to whatever location you desire. This means that you are able to completely eliminate all warehousing costs, from labour to overhead, and allow your team to focus completely on doing what your company does best.
5. Allows you to ship and deliver to whatever location you need
- As mentioned above, the majority of print on demand/web to print services (such as ION’s Action Web2Print) will also provide you with fulfillment services. This means that you don’t have to worry about getting products to your customers. Instead, your customers order, your provider receives the order, prints the products, ships them direct to your customer!
6. Provides a long term, relationship-based solution
- If you haven’t figured it out yet, print on demand and web to print solutions create win-win-win situations for your business, your customers, and your provider! Print on demand and web to print services are constantly being evolved by providers to ensure that they meet and exceed your needs and, therefore, will continue to offer you the best of the best print processes and technologies. Rather than needing to worry about finding someone for each print job, simply rest assured that your print on demand/web to print provider will offer you a long-term relationship and continue to provide you with effective print solutions.
So, there you have it – six of the best benefits that using web to print and print on demand services can offer your business and your customers!
