Executive Summary

Online ordering and digital printing take the pain out of managing business cards, while giving you brand and purchasing control.

Are you looking for a simpler and faster way to order business cards?  Consider switching to the digital printing option.

If you’re the person responsible for ordering business cards for your organization you know what a pain it can be if you rely on a conventional (non-digital) printing process.

First you have to gather information from the person requesting cards.  Then you send it to the printer.  Then you wait to approve a proof.  Then the printer wants more cards to run so he can “gang’ them to optimize his press.  Then, a week or two later, your order is delivered.

Costly, aggravating, time-consuming.

In contrast, many digital print shops have an easy-to-use feature on their websites that lets anyone in your organization

• input name, phone numbers and other card data
• immediately view a composed proof, and
• click to place an order

Your digital printer runs these orders individually, because digital presses don’t require ganging of multiple names for a long print run.  Then he cuts the cards out and delivers them, usually within 48 hours.

Quick, slick, fast.

There are many more benefits to this business card printing process, which we at Laser Image call VersaDoc.   Some of the most important are:

• Brand control.  Even if you have a large, dispersed work force, all your cards are printed in one shop with established standards.
• Purchasing control.  Prices are set in advance and you get reports on who orders what, when.  You can preset quantity limits so your people don’t over-order.
• Always open.  Your people can place online orders at their convenience.
• No software to install.  The easy-to-use order-entry system is housed on your printer’s server.
