Which Comes First: Design or Printing?

It might sound logical to plan your next marketing collateral project on a linear timeline -- that is, don't worry about printing until the design is done. In reality, a linear plan might make your project more difficult and send it over budget.


 It's best to think about design and printing together, and to get your designer and printer talking. Why? Because of the technical aspects of production. 


Use the wrong printing process and your beautiful new design looks like sloppy, amateur work. Slap a glossy finish on a poor design, and you only draw attention to its low quality. 


By consulting with you and your designer early in the process, we can make sure that your designed piece will be technically feasible and will fit within your budget.


 Start the printing conversation today to save time and stay on budget.


Our highly trained, experienced and skilled staff have the resources to produce exactly the look you want. Visit ACE Printing and Mailing Services, or call us at 415.460.2800.

Great points. They really go hand in hand. You don't want to spend lots of time on one thing only to find out it won't work out the way you intended.
