Fulfillment

Inventory management can be an operational problem for many companies, but it becomes an essential component of giving the best customer experience. Our fulfillment center makes inventory management much easier and allows you more time to focus on other areas of your business.

Our Fulfillment center enables our customers to outsource warehousing and shipping. This relieves you of the necessary physical space to store your products, which is beneficial for companies without the capacity to directly manage inventory.

We also produce custom kitting. We’ll print, assemble and ship materials in custom sales kits.

Schneider Graphics supports full-service fulfillment for your printing needs.

Call us if you’d like to learn more on how we might be able to help with your fulfillment challenges.

Recycled Paper

 

Have you ever considered using recycled paper?

 

Recycled paper is available in both coated and uncoated stocks. One of the most important things to remember when choosing a recycled paper is to choose a paper with Post Consumer recycled content. There are marketing schemes selling “recyclable” paper, which means nothing more than the paper can be recycled after its use. However, that’s meaningless since nearly all paper can be recycled after its use. Choosing a paper with a recycled content means the stock actually contains a specific percentage of fiber from paper previously used in the marketplace. Paper comes with a variety of recycled content from 10% to 100% and with the latest technology most recycled papers are as white and print as well as virgin papers do.

 

By choosing a paper that has been recycled for your next print project, you are showing that your company is responsible toward the environment which can help enhance your company’s image. At Schneider Graphics, we can help you choose the right recycled paper as well as the correct recycled logos to show the world how much you care about the environment. We also often add verbiage on the environmentally friendly soy inks we use when printing the recycled logos.

Calendars

With the new year approaching fast, it’s time to begin thinking about calendars.  Not only do calendars have great function and design but they are also an awesome marketing tool for any business. An attractive wall calendar can be more than something that catches your eye –   they are used for planning upcoming events, marking special or important dates and a host of other business benefits. A creative, well designed calendar with your company logo will keep your business name up front and visible for the entire year and having that unique calendar will make it more likely your recipients will like it and want to keep using it.

Calendars come in all shapes and sizes and creating your own unique design can be a fun project in itself. Whether you’re selecting images of places, scenery or simply something that represents the culture of your company, a well designed calendar will give a lasting impression to whoever receives one.

Color Trends

Color trends

Did you know that every year Pantone releases a list of color trends?

Color trends in 2018 moved away from pastels and towards more bright and bold colors. Ultra Violet or PMS 296 was Pantone’s color of the year in 2018. It is a vivid purple according to Pantone.

But there is more to it than just a color of the year. They list several colors that are trending throughout the year.

Pantone’s fall picks are natural colors with a very earthy feel.

2019 Pantone is predicting lively hues. Bright reds and oranges along with reliable classics. Pantone hasn’t predicted a color of the year for 2019 but they are showing many colors that have a great look.

It is amazing how Pantone gets all this information from designers. From fashion to home and puts it all together.

Visit Pantone’s website frequently to get the most up to date trends in color.

Why are printing proofs important?

Why are printing proofs important?

Proofs are a critical part of the printing process! It may seem obvious, but an actual hard copy proof gives the print buyer a chance to see exactly how their printing project is going to look once its finished. Proofs should always be reviewed for copy (spelling, capitalization, punctuation and grammar errors), color accuracy, folding, etc. At Schneider Graphics we proof nearly all our jobs on the exact substrate that is being used for the actual print project. This gives our clients the opportunity to make sure the final piece will have the look and feel they expect or are trying to achieve.

In addition to physical hard copy proofs, which we always recommend for any new printing project. We also utilize technology with sending what’s referred to as “soft proofs”. Soft Proofs are generally PDF files sent electronically. These work great for confirming that the correct file is being used for an exact reprint or checking corrections that may have been requested after reviewing a hard copy proof. They are also an excellent way to proof a project that may have a quick turnaround where time just does not allow for a physical proof to be sent.

Reviewing proofs are important and can literally save hundreds and often times thousands of dollars! So take the time and give your proofs the attention they deserve!
