1) Have a brand, if you currently do not have one try to strategize and get your company goals and objectives in black and white.

2) Understand your needs, list them down and categorize.

There are three different main categories for business prints that you choose from and these are:

a) POP printing - This business prints are the big ones you see everywhere mostly in the forms of signs or very huge posters or racks that houses a particular product. This print types are easily (and should) visible from a certain point. This should attract passersby and make them remember your brand. POP prints can either be temporary or permanent depending on the place where it will be placed and the weight of the actual print.

b) Marketing materials - These are materials that are mostly smaller and less expensive than POP printing, these are normally flyers, inserts etc.

c) Business identity materials - Company portfolios, business cards, employees handbooks, pocket folders are the most common business identity materials that are being use today. This business prints focus on the company itself not on a particular product or service.

3) Search for your business printer with a little consideration on their ability to deal with your needs, very helpful, produces quality prints and professional services.

4) Request for a quotation for your print needs and request discounts if possible if they can give you better packages with the prices.

5) Create and Submit your design. Start making your design in a program suggested by your business printer. If they forgot to mention what programs you can use, ask them and tell them you want to use the same program they are using. This will help you greatly when you start having trouble creating the design because you can instantly throw it at them and ask them to help you or do it for you. Some of these printers may charge an arm and a leg for it but some may include minimal fees that are easy on the pocket, make sure you confirm costs with them before you handover the designing.

Once you finish with the design, make sure you save the file according to the specified file formats your Austin business printers require. Imbed your font file as well and use the CMYK color model to avoid another service which is color matching. Programs normally use RGB colors so you need to double check this.

6) Check dummy. And by dummy, we mean the electronic file, your printers will send you once they receive your design file. This dummy will show you how your prints will look like so double check everything and give a go signal to them once everything is in place.
