Print Management covers everything connected with print from initial specification to final delivery.

It’s not rocket science but if buying print has never figured on your radar you won’t have worked with a Print Manager before. Forget the PowerPoint presentations and big hitting salesmen. We offer a simple, open and cost effective service for customers across the UK.

Well if you have a good understanding of the printing trade and good technical knowledge of all the different types of printing presses and lots of time, then you probably don’t.

If you have a regular Printer or Agency that you routinely throw every job at, then you do need to look at working with a Print Manager.

Don’t be fooled - One single print manufacturer alone does not have all of the equipment required to produce the increasing range of print formats. They will often outsource the ‘finishing’, collation, laminating, numbering or even the full job in order to provide the full package.

Alternatively, a skilled Print Manager will look at your requirements; find the right manufacturing press to produce the most efficient job at the right price with less hassle.

Apart from saving time and money, its a pretty long list, checking paper and inks are economically purchased, preparing proofs (usually on-line), price checking all markets, organizing production (maybe running with other jobs to maximize volume/price), scheduling delivery, managing stockholdings and subsequent call offs...

You can cherry pick any element of what we do; some customers use our stock management and delivery service only.

And there’s more...

There is no cost to introduce a Print Manager from Contrac.

From the beginning we are ‘open our margins. Once we have agreed a pricing model its there for customers to audit anytime.

At the last count 70, but its continually changing, as we are constantly tracking who has the latest high technology and eco friendly printing presses and finishing equipment.

We work with all types of companies across a wide spectrum of industries. Our Customer base starts at 107.7WFM and finishes at Zurich Bank.

We can work on one specific print job or hundreds for customers with a network of branches.

A good Print Manager will save money (lots of it) and reduce your costs in print buying, storage, product obsolescence, wastage, staff resources, time and finance costs.

I hope the above has opened up a small window into the world of Print Management for you and stimulated some thoughts about cost savings.

I look forward to hearing from you.
