New Product: Folded Postcards

PrintPlace is always excited to stay ahead of the online printing pack, and with that in mind, will be offering a new folded postcard product, which will save our customers money. Instead of printing an oversized postcard to get all marketing info out to customers, companies can now use our folded postcard, which offers two to three times the space of a flat postcard. And, the best part is that the folded postcards mail at the same postage rate as the flat, standard size postcards. Customers have the option to perforate one side to create a business reply card, return form or coupon.

New Printing Press

PrintPlace is increasing its production capacity with the purchase of a Komori LS540 offset printing press. The new printing press reduces ink waste and paper waste and eliminates mechanical ghosting, a common cause of color variation within a job. It also prints faster and integrates with our printing system to further streamline operations, which are some of the most advanced and automated in the nation. This allows us to offer same-day printing with offset quality – a benefit previously only possible with digital printing.

Upgraded Templates

We’re also planning to revise our template library to include more landscape and portrait layouts. PrintPlace’s template library is more extensive than any of our competitors because we offer more fold types and products than anyone else online. The template library works seamlessly with our new instant proofing system.

Faster Instant Proofing

Instant proofing is not only available 24/7/365, but we’ve invested in more servers and increased bandwidth to ensure we always get materials printed on time, every time. Our average page processing time is less than 1 minute. This ensures that our customers will be thoroughly satisfied with their print job, without having to wait days to approve it. That means an even faster turnaround time.

Automated Back-Trimming

We’ve developed a custom application with our vendor so that when we cut thicker card stocks, we can ensure crisp trim lines. With thicker card stocks, many printers allow the edge of the sheet to look slightly frayed, which detracts from the graphic design and makes brochures, calendars and the like look unprofessional. We’ve eliminated this potential for any printed product to look unprofessional.
