Tip 5 in our series of printing mistakes that could be costing your brand money: Design

It’s easy to forget how a design will translate into print. Intricate layouts, multiple finishes or complex binding may look impressive, but do they add real value to the final product?

In some cases, they may be justified. However, it’s important to consider what the project needs to achieve, where it will be used and whether the added cost supports that goal.

There are many creative ways to simplify a design without compromising on quality. Thoughtful design choices can still create impact without increasing production costs.

Tip 4 in our series of printing mistakes that could be costing your brand money: Proofing

Reviewing artwork before print can feel like an added time pressure, but mistakes cannot be corrected once a job has gone to print.

Templates may not match the final print area, elements can shift during upload and spelling errors are easily missed. Your printer will not reread all copy or check every image, so it is your responsibility to confirm the content and layout are exactly as intended.

Taking a few extra minutes to proof your document gives you the chance to catch errors and ensure the final result looks as it should.

Tip 3 in our series of printing mistakes that could be costing your brand money: Paper choice

From GSM to silk, matte or gloss finishes, your paper choice has a big impact on both quality and cost.

The right option depends on the purpose of your product and the style you want to achieve. High end paper for a high volume, short term item can quickly increase costs, while paper that is too thin may allow images to bleed through and affect the overall finish.

Understanding the look, feel and function you need will help you choose the right paper for the job and avoid unnecessary expense.

Tip 2 in our series of printing mistakes that could be costing your brand money: Low resolution images

Images that look fine on screen can print very differently. Anything below 300 DPI can result in blurry or pixelated prints.

Before sending artwork to print, double check image sizes and resolution to make sure they meet the required standard. If you’re unsure, ask your printer what they recommend and how files should be supplied.

Taking the time to get it right before going to print can save disappointment, and the cost of a reprint.

Follow us this month as we share our top tips on the printing mistakes that could be costing your brand money.

Tip 1: Over or underestimating demand
Buying in bulk can reduce the cost per item and deliver sizeable savings if it’s something you use regularly.

But over ordering can be just as costly. Materials that become outdated, contain changing information or relate to short term promotions can quickly end up wasted.

Where possible, design with longevity in mind and only order what you realistically need. In some cases, multiple short runs will be more cost effective than one large batch that sits unused.
