how can web2print help you?

Printing has evolved significantly over the last 30 years. So too have the ways in which print work can be ordered and processed. At SLADE, we have seen this evolution firsthand as we have grown from a small print/copy store to a commercial print shop with a separate division for signs and large format work.

One of the biggest advancements in this area is the speed at which customers can send print work to be produced. While custom projects and one-offs may require direct human interaction (something we will always offer), repeat work, brand standardized templates, and many other projects can be submitted directly via the web and oftentimes printed on the same day! This can be facilitated via a file share, a custom-built storefront portal, or via a direct API connection into your software system as required. Projects can be quickly produced and shipped anywhere in the world.

Web2Print is a true win/win situation saving time and money for both the customer and the printer and it is not something reserved only for corporations or high volume print buyers. Any repeat job is a great candidate to have a storefront or web portal.

Consider the below scenarios in which web2print can be beneficial:

• A team scattered throughout the country that needs business cards shipped directly to them. Storefronts allow for editing of a standard template. History is saved for easy re-orders.

• Multi-branch businesses that use the same basic literature but require different contact information.

• Brand standardized ad forms, easily edited for print or PDF download.

• Any repeat order of a standard product.
