On top of everything else you have to do in December, we ask you to think about what printing you may require in advance of the christmas week. Aside from anything else, you have the last postage dates to think about, and as you will be aware it is a period of holidays. All of this coupled with a three week month (effectively) we usually are running busy from start to end of the December month. 

Have you thought about your cards, maybe you have already done so or bought some, do you need insert sheets, do you want to get some christmas promotions out ready for the new year, maybe you want to kick off the new year with fresh promotional material. Either way you need to get in gear and set in motion now, or you will find the time just runs away with you. 

We also ask you to consider your regular stocks of product, letterheads, brochures and price lists. Is there something you feel you could do with help sorting, advice? We have a full studio ready to help with design or layout, and plenty of printing firepower for any of those larger jobs. We are not just about the Wealden Advertiser we are the Wealden Group, that is so much more, print and promotions. Our presses regularly undertake commercial and personal printing, from posters to magazines. The sales team is ready to help and advise, why not call them on 01580 753322. Why not let them take the pressure off this christmas? We look forward to hearing from you.

One Size Fits All Printing

Does your printer tell you he can quote on anything or do any job you throw at him. We know that a lot of print companies tell you everything you want to hear, they think it is going to help them get your business, but we like to tell you what we are good at and what we can't do.  That way, we will deliver the job you want. We don't want to over commit sub contracting work that is not suitable for our presses. Where we score regularly is that we are a brochure and magazine company this is where we are going to exceed expectations. The equipment is geared up for it and it is a slick operation. We also print rope handled paper laminated bags and deliver a quality second to none. Our team of finishers on the bag side makes us extremely flexible on complex hand finishing to regular print jobs.

We have in house our own cutting and creasing machine, laminating machine, saddle stitcher and drill machine. What does that mean, well it means that we do not have to put out a lot of your work, it stays within our control and is done by our own staff.

We have a unique digital print operation that is particularly good at variable data and even bar coding. We do not shy away from these complicated jobs, we like to give it a go and show you what we can do.

We work within tight timescales and scheduled deliveries so we are used to a bit of pressure. We deliver product around the country not just in our immediate vicinity. The production staff have a great depth of knowledge, both from studio, and print to finishing, we are certainly going to have great advice for you before you start.

So what can't we do, well there are a number of things, but why don't you ask us about your job and get the honest reply back. You might even find the experience refreshing in this day and age. We want to do your job, and work with you, but first and foremost we want to make sure we are working together with the same mindset, otherwise we are doomed to failure. Call our Sales Team now on 01580 753322 and put them to the test.

Print Trouble and Increase your Sales

Do you have trouble with your current printer, do things end up going terribly wrong, are the prices not quite as you expect and lastly is the printed material delivering what you expect it to?

Does this sound like your situation, with you constantly wondering why things are always going wrong. Have you tried speaking to your printer? If you constantly buy on price alone and trawl the internet for ever cheaper prices, you will never build a relationship based on trust and delivery. Spreading your print across a range of sources, in one respect, does help you to get the cheapest price for that item, however, cumulatively you might get a better deal by placing all your print together in one place by upping your buying power. Furthermore by having an understanding of your full print requirements a print company might be better positioned to offer you alternatives that might suit your budget and sales better. 

Why not try letting the printer take responsibility for the design and artwork, by doing this yourself, you are probably moving out of your area of expertise into one that has many technical pitfalls that may hold up progress on the job in question. This is where that relationship comes in, if they work with you for a period of time they know what you like and don't like, they can deliver the design and material much quicker and cheaper in terms of resources than perhaps you doing it yourself, and in the case of larger jobs, the design is often the smaller part of the process so you can really drive for good deals.

With a professionally designed brochure, your market should be taking more notice of your product, it should be delivered into the spaces that your customer uses, again the printer should have advice and experience to help you along with these details. 

The long and short of this post really is to put into your minds that a relationship is far better, long term than trying to drive down the pricing and ultimately this will increase your sales by allowing you to focus on what you are good at.

At Wealden Print we pride ourselves on the ability to communicate and deliver your product, the team works together as a whole to work with you and alleviate your headaches to do with the printed job.

If you want to talk with us about some of your pain points or print issues, why not give us a call on 01580 753322 or email: sales@wealdenprint.co.uk maybe you would like to try additionally advertising in our magazines, for extra exposure. The possibilities are endless, and as BT once said, "it's good to talk".

Die Cut Handle Promotional Bags

The die cut handle promotional bag is little used these days, as the cotton or polypropylene ropes are more in favour. Coupled with the fact that it is a bit more expensive to use, due to the extra processes involved, you tend not to see much of this bag these days. They are however more eco friendly using no polypropylene in their construction (unless you have them laminated).

When used correctly the shape fits in with the design and creates a clever bag that is not offensive too the eyes. See these images below.

 

The trouble with these bags is the fact that the handle is cut in after manufacture, requiring a specialist cutting out procedure and machine which is very difficult to come by. We offer this service being UK based we have all we need, to hand to produce the job. But you may also like to think a bit laterally and maybe have cut out shapes within the face of bag, well we can do this too. So, use your imagination and think what you would like to do next. Don't forget this is the same process for a ribbon tie slot too.

Tight Timescales For Your Rope Handled Laminated Paper Bags

Do you have a tight timescale on your next project of rope handled laminated paper bags, then we are probably just what you need.

Uk based, we manufacture entirely under our own steam the rope handled laminated paper bags that are renowned for their bespoke quality. Our carrier bags are second to none, and we look to deliver within seven to ten working days from your passed artwork. We dont have to clear customs because our product is manufactured right here in our factory on the Kent/Sussex border. This means it will be where we say it will be, when we say it. Nobody is perfect, problems happen in production, but we should be able to notify you of any delays beyond our control. If there has been an issue in production we check rigorously to ensure production methods will eliminate future instances happening again. We are constantly aiming to deliver above expectations and keep your future custom within the carrier bag market. With all lamination and creasing in house we can also deliver in five working days subject to numbers and production so why not try us out with this too.

Our speciality is 150-2000 carrier bags, but we can handle orders of up to 100000 which we have done in a few circumstances. Basically we fed the carrier bags in, in lots of 10000 to stay ahead of usage, dont forget, that whilst you might need 100000 carrier bags, you will not use them all in a few days, or leastways its very unlikely to be used so quickly, so this method can deliver should you need rope handled laminated carrier bags in a very short space of time.

Why not ring us and speak to Paul on 01580 755102 to discuss your requirements. Paul works within the Special Products Department which is was created to handle special requirements outside of regular printing, ie all those problem jobs that printers just dont seem to want to touch because of the complexity.
