A great customer recently shared this photo with me, so I thought it was appropriate to share with you all as I'm sure you have all found yourselves thinking this, or better yet, you're the one posing the question, "How soon can I have it?"
Being in a deadline-driven industry, this is a question I hear daily, if not several times a day, so don't EVER feel bad for asking me this question. I promise, you are not the first, nor will you be the last. It is part of my job! Here are a few stats on how quickly BPI Media Group's equipment can work, and these machines can crank out the printed pieces and mail to help meet tight deadlines!
Prepress. If you upload the files for your print project using Insite, you'll receive an email notifying you that your soft proof (pdf) is ready to review within the hour. Once approved, the files will go directly to plate, so your project can be ready for press in a matter of hours.
Presses. Our Heidelberg conventional presses can run 12,000 sheets per hour. Our Nexpress (digital press) can run 2,500 14 x 20 one-sided sheets per hour.
Bindery. Our folders run 10,000 sheets per hour. The perfect binder binds 3,500 books per hour. We can saddlestitch 7,000 books per hour. The shrink wrap machine can do approx 1,000 wraps per hour.
Mail. For magazines or catalogs, we can address 7,000-8,000 per hour; for self mailers or postcards, we can address 15,000 pieces per hour.
As you can see, the machines can run very quickly, so if you are working with a tight deadline, we will work hard to make that deadline allowing you to breathe a sigh of relief and know that your project is in good hands at BPI. By utilizing our storefront for print-on-demand fulfillment, we can ship orders in as little as 48 hours (of course, if it's not a custom item or on a specialty-type paper).
By using our automated proofing system (Insite) or taking advantage of an online storefront for ordering of your collateral via print on demand, we can help you reduce turn-around time and overall costs on your print projects. Paired with all BPI's equipment are our quality employees who have years of combined experience who help you get the most out every asset we have. Don't hesitate to give me a call if BPI can help on your next project (whether it's a rush order or not!).
PS--caffeine usually helps me stay on track and keep up with all the hustle and bustle of the work day. These are my two vices of choice lately:
Until next time...Elizabeth
