Choose the method for the job

With the enormous changes in print technology over the past 15 years, Creager Press can help you determine which printing method is best suited for your company's needs on a per-job requirement. It might be most advantageous to print your project digitally because of the run size or time constraints, or perhaps it is better printing conventionally because of complexity, quality issues, or finishing. Either way, we can help you make the best decision for your printing project based on your needs and goals.

If you need help creating new brochures or marketing pieces, or perhaps a new identity or company logo, company handbooks, manuals, or forms, our design team can help bring those ideas to life.

Digital or conventional? How we decide

Digital is often the fit when

  • The run is shorter
  • The timeline is tight
  • Variable data is part of the piece

Conventional is often the fit when

  • The job is more complex
  • Quality requirements point that way
  • Finishing needs call for it

How to send files

Questions

What file formats do you accept?

Tell us what you have and we will confirm the format for that job. When the files are ready, use the Send Files page. We will confirm bleed and resolution at the same time.

Do you offer proofs?

Ask about a proof when you request a quote. We will tell you what kind of proof fits the job.

What are typical turnaround times?

It depends on the job, the quantity, and the finishing. Put your needed-by date on the quote form and we will tell you what we can do.

Can you print small runs?

Yes. A shorter run or a tight timeline is often a reason to print digitally. We recommend digital or conventional based on the run, the complexity, the quality you need, and the finishing.

Do you mail the finished pieces?

Yes. We offer mailing solutions for direct mail, including EDDM. Variable data printing can be part of that project.
