How we work
Know what you’re ordering
A printing quote is easier to compare when it describes the finished job. Here’s how to take a project from an initial message to artwork you’re ready to approve.
From brief to approval
01
Explain the use
Tell us where the piece will go, who will read it and when it’s needed. Those details help narrow the size, stock and print options.
02
Review the quote
Check the quantity, finished dimensions, sides and any finishing included. If you want to compare two quantities or stocks, ask for separate prices.
03
Check the artwork
Review spelling, prices, contact details and the order of the pages. For a label or sign, check the fit or readability at the intended size.
How to keep an order moving
Send one agreed version of the brief and point out any deadline that cannot move. If the order includes different designs, garment sizes or label variants, include a count for each one. For reprints, say whether you want an exact repeat or need updated information.
Ask about timing before you commit
Timing depends on the artwork, material, quantity and finishing. Share your required date when you request the quote so there is time to discuss what is feasible for your order.
Make the important decisions visible
Compare the whole specification
A lower price may refer to a different paper, fewer printed sides or a different finish. Compare like for like: quantity, dimensions, material, colour, folding, binding and any other finishing. Ask which items are included in the written quote.
Approve the details that matter
Review a proof for spelling, contact information, page order, prices and the correct version of your logo. Check small text at actual size. Screens and printed materials can show colour differently, so discuss a physical reference when colour is especially important.
Questions before you order
Does sending an enquiry confirm my order?
No. The quote builder prepares a WhatsApp message. Confirm the specification, price, artwork approval and timing directly with Printec Lab before treating a job as agreed.
