Tan Bing Song - Making Up Short Run Prints

By: Tan Bing Song

The main purpose of an advertisement is to sell goods. The first important thing to consider in making up a promotional material is to see that the principal products and best items are well represented. Likewise, it should not be forgotten that the general appearance of the material should be eye-catching and pleasing. Some businesses are fortunate in making up an effective advertisement but others are not. Thus, to make up an effective advertisement that represents a combination of vigor and ease, it requires considerable experience with considerable innate wit.

It is often inevitable for businesses to have print jobs needed in such a short time. Oftentimes, in instances like this the quality of the material is sacrificed for quantity. Because time is limited business owners just settle for anything that is affordable and fast without considering how the print out will look like. Fortunately today, short run companies enable businesses to have advertising materials in small quantities available in such a short time.

Say for instance it’s another crazy Monday morning. You came in for work fifteen minutes late, you forgot your compact powder again (which in your opinion you can’t live without) and you haven’t even put your bag down yet when you heard your boss buzzing with his usual I’m-not-in-a-good-mood tone. So as a good and dedicated employee as you are you came in his office with his coffee and morning paper hoping to soothe his bad temper. But unfortunately your effort did not work. He gave you a brochure design and told you to have it printed in hundred copies and he wants it in his table by Wednesday. It was like Judgment Day for you. No printing company would accept a print job in such short notice and in such a small quantity. At that very minute you wanted to call badly for every superhero known in history (if only they were real) to do the printing for you. After all, their super powers can greatly help you with your dilemma. But this is the real world and you need real heroes.

With the advancements in printing technology available these days, it has become possible to have a small print job done in a few days. Gone are the days when you have to order a minimum number of copies in order for the print job to be cost effective. These advancements have given small businesses the opportunity to print glossy high-quality professional-looking materials at affordable prices. Even large companies have taken advantage of this innovation as it has significantly saved the companies time, money and effort in its marketing strategy. 

Hence, now that you know of this modernized printing technique you need not fret when your boss asks you to print materials pronto because he will be pleased with you when you have his brochures on his table by Wednesday morning. You need not turn to the superheroes because now you have your own superhero to turn to.
