There are so many wacky and wonderful things you can do with wholesale printing. Whether you are a small business looking to create some stand-out business cards, or a soon-to-be bride looking to produce elegant, laser-cut wedding invitations, you are sure to be impressed by the range of options available to you. Read on for a guide to some of the common wholesale printing services you can access.
Wrapping paper
If you have ever wanted to make your own custom wrapping paper, know that it’s possible! You simply have to create a design, pattern or photo collage and convert it to a PDF file. It can then be digitally reproduced in full colour with spectacular results. This is a great way to personalize your birthday and Christmas gifts and impress your family and friends.
Binding
Binding grants the ability to hold together pages into a book or booklet. There are a range of different binding methods, including those which use glues, stitching, stapling and sewing. This process helps to improve the appearance, quality and durability of the book. You can choose your method of binding based on your budget, the amount of books being produced and the thickness of the book.
Laser cutting
This technique involves cutting into a material such as paper or wood by scorching, melting or vaporising. The laser’s path is determined by a line created using a software program. This can produce refined and intricate patterns and can be used to create a range of items, such as cards and gifts. This is one of the really impressive things you can do with a wholesale printing service.
Large format
Large format wholesale printing allows you to reproduce works between 1-3 metres wide. It uses water and solvent based inks and toners and can work with an array of different materials (not just paper!), such as vinyl and transparent surfaces. This option works well if you want to attract attention in a big way; think huge posters, giant cardboard cut-outs and billboards. Use this for projects that are larger than A3 in size and where you require less than 100 copies.
Envelopes
Wholesale printing can offer you the ability to produce custom-made, unique envelopes which will be appreciated by your recipients. You can choose your envelope colour; whether it’s a light cream, white or even black, as well as the ink colour. You also have the option of choosing a font and adding extra embellishments and visuals to create interesting, beautiful designs. The envelopes are also available in a range of different sizes, shapes, textures and quantities.
Embellishments
These are the icing on the cake. Embellishments such as foiling and embossing are beautiful ways to add intricate detail to things such as books, invitations and cards. They add a classy touch to your design, drawing attention to selected areas and increasing the aesthetic value of the piece. They project an air of quality, thoughtfulness and distinctiveness. If you want to go above and beyond to produce the best work possible, use this technique.
Digital
Digital wholesale printing covers a range of technologies; however they all share in common the use of digital processes. They may use ink or lasers to produce crisp, high-resolution results. This method suits photographs, books, magazines, posters and more. Most work is done using this technique, which delivers shiny, glossy works of art.
With so many gorgeous options available, it’s a wonder we don’t use wholesale printing more often! It offers an excellent way to produce high-quality, unique designs at an affordable price.
