Choosing to outsource anything can be a big decision. As a business grows, jobs that were once small can become very big deals, and the need to guarantee your business has a professional touch and appearance increases. Printing requirements that might once have been simple develop into the need for professional looking brochures, custom stationery, annual reports to give to shareholders and more.

When that happens, here are a few reasons why it is a good idea to start outsourcing your printing needs;

1) Costs

When running a business, every decision sooner or later comes down to money. And it’s not just about what costs the least; it’s about what gets you the best value for your money and which choices benefit your business in the long run.

Outsourcing your printing requirements removes all of the costs of maintaining your own printers and systems, not only in terms of the direct costs of machinery and repairs, but the indirect costs associated with staff time and labour.

Any job that requires printing more than a couple of sheets from your office printer can easily consume hours of an employee’s time as well as your money.

2) Technology

Bigger and more complex printing jobs require specialist technology, the cost of which can be prohibitive. Further, new advances and techniques emerge all the time and maximising the effectiveness of a printing process and available services can be a full-time job.

A dedicated printing company makes it their business to know how to get and use the best technology. When creating visual media, looking out-dated or behind the curve can be a death sentence.

3) Time

In business, time is money. A professional printing company knows not only how to minimise print times on even the largest jobs, but that by outsourcing the management of the printing to the printing company, all you need to do is hand over the instructions.

No more time in-house needs to be wasted on organising and following through every stage of the print job. Spend your time on other matters that need your attention while the work is done for you.

4) Specialist Knowledge

An exterior printing company has the dedicated experience and knowledge to help with all your printing needs. Even when all the design work is done, converting a digital design into a hard copy can come with its own hurdles.

Colours on a screen and colours on a page can look different and choosing the right printing stock takes expertise. Outsourcing allows you to work with professionals to guarantee your needs are met.

5) Options

All these points combine to give you one thing: options. Outsourcing your printing gives you choice, with a wider range of machinery, technical expertise, printing stock, and more. Book binding, custom inks, textured prints, and custom stock from the smallest business cards to the largest leaflets and flyers: this is what an experienced printing company can offer you.
