Production

All the planning and preparation has been accomplished and now its time to produce your product. Whether that product is a post card, catalog, media guide, direct mail piece, letterhead or envelope, it all has its own distinction in the production arena.

Let Excel Printing Services, Inc., help you in this arena. The number one mistake made by companies in regard to their printing is the production facility they choose. No one printer can have all of the different types of printing presses at their shop. It would cost them billions if not trillions of dollars to purchase every piece of equipment. And each product you produce has its own unique production method as well as correct press to print it on. At Excel Printing Services, Inc., we fit your product to the printing press that will produce it in the most economical way.

There are two basic presses in the market today:

First is a sheet fed press. As it sounds, paper goes through the press in pre-cut sheets of paper. This is generally used for small run jobs, no larger than 23" X 40" sheets of paper. Yes, there are bigger sheet fed presses but those are for specialty printing needs. Most Marketing collateral that is low quantity, 30,000 impressions and under will or should utilize a sheet fed press.

Second is a web press. This concept is taking giant rolls of paper through the press and either re-rolling them, sheeting, or producing a finished product at the end. The most efficient web presses can print, collate, trim, fold, insert and cook you dinner at the end. The most recognized web press would be a cold set web that prints your daily newspaper. The web press is for high volume, high content (pages) printing. A run of 40,000 catalogs that has 64 pages is a perfect example of web work.
