If you’re a business that handles most of your own printing then even just thinking of using a commercial printer can bring painful thoughts of insanely high prices, slow turn-around, privacy concerns, and a lot more. Luckily for you, know that for the majority of commercial printers, those concerns are not an issue. In fact, once you begin the process of deciding to use a commercial printer or not, you’ll quickly see that there are many benefits the outweigh the negatives and make it a smart decision.

By using a professional to handle all of your business printing you’ll gain these benefits:

It Can Be Cheaper Than You Realize

You read that line correctly; printing with a commercial printer could actually be cheaper for your business. Why? Because of scale. Not only can a commercial printer give you outrageous savings due to the volume of printing that you may do with them, you’ll also be receiving the discount of working with a printer who purchases massive amounts of paper/substrates at a very low price. Of course, there will still be times when commercial printers will be pricey, but you’d be surprised at how cheap they can be when your request isn’t anything overly unique.

They Have the Equipment You Need

A commercial printer has a wide array of machines that can print anything your heart desires. Most businesses only have a standard printer that handles up to an 11″ x 17″ sheet of paper, leaving a lot of additional printing needs unfulfilled. Unless the only thing you need for your printing job is a regular office printer, you may not have the equipment necessary to get the job done properly. If you’re holding a special event or having a new product launch your needs for larger printing would require the use of a commercial printer. These companies have special machines that can print banners or vinyl graphics from 2’all the up to 100’+.

Along with the sheer size of printing that a commercial printer can handle, they can also print on a wide array of substrates/materials besides just plain paper. Let’s say you’re looking for a new sign to hang on one of the walls within your office. Here is where a commercial printer can come in and work with you on figuring out the perfect material to print on to give you a unique look to your sign. Additionally, some commercial printers, like us, can create custom signage just for you by combining materials and cutting unique shapes out of the material.

It Will Probably Be Faster

Due to the size of commercial printers and the volume of documents they’re printing they have learned how to do it quick. If a quick turnaround is important to your printing needs, a commercial printer can get things done in as little as a few hours; almost regardless of the size of the job.

Other jobs, like large format printing or offset printing, may take a bit longer, but a professional service will still be able to get everything done in a more than reasonable amount of time.

It’s One Less Thing for You to Worry About

You’re probably a busy person, as are most people in the business world, and there’s pretty much no way that the printing job at hand is the only thing you have to do. If you go to a commercial printer they’ll be able to take some of the stress of work off your plate, giving you one less thing to worry about.  Everything will get done quickly, the results will look great, and you’ll be free to take care of something else on your schedule. Ultimately, commercial printers allow you to be more productive than you would be otherwise while still ensuring that your printing needs are met.

The Results Will Likely Be Better

When you go to a professional, you’ll get a result that looks professional. It’s really that simple. If you lack the experience, equipment, time, or skill set to handle a commercial printing job, you should definitely let the experts handle it. It’s better to get the job done right the first time than try to do it yourself and end up with a result that wasn’t what you wanted. Don’t risk it—go to a professional service!
