Top-notch overseas vendors
Our small core of hand-picked overseas vendors has been selected, first and foremost, because of their ability to produce high-quality printed projects to our specifications. Additionally, our vendors have been screened for good environmental and labor practices. We have often been to their plants for proofing/supervision and have witnessed them in action.
We listen to our clients
We take great pride in doing our job well and this includes being responsive to our clients' needs - whether they are novices in offshore printing or have years of experience. We feel keeping all parties informed and two-way communication is key to a smoothly executed project. All questions and comments our clients may have are welcomed. A clear understanding of what our clients are trying to achieve also helps us do our job well. We may be able to offer manufacturing suggestions - including materials and/or processes - which were not initially considered. We may also be able to flag potential pitfalls or manufacturing challenges when they are still in the planning stages. We strive to minimize surprises.
