Vexed by Vectors? Unravelled by Resolutions? Surpassed by Saturation? & Youtube isn't helping? We can!
Some of us can listen to others talk about bleed our entire lives and still not understand that it is to do with the cutting process. Others can examine a whole product and describe how it is printed, cut, folded and assembled without even picking up a loupe (That’s one of those small magnifiers pictured!). The latter trait is our Pre-Production Services team here at ALBOM45.
Our minds have a natural ability to take inquisitive nature to the limit and then apply it to new manufacturing projects happening all over the world.
Our Pre-Production Services are relevant to traditional print projects as well as more unorthodox manufacturing and for either avenue we offer a simple service where we do the heavy lifting in technical specifications. We feed back to our clients in a language they understand and feel comfortable with to achieve the most out of their designs or we develop their design files directly to push them through the boundaries of larger manufacturing gateways. We offer as much or a little assistance as one would like, covering a global range of avenues.
Looking to have something manufactured but not sure where to turn? We can often recommend one of our tried and tested partners or seek out suitable manufacturing solutions for your project. We may even have all the solutions in house.
Got a manufacturer in mind? Or partnered up with a commercial printer and experiencing costly pre-press checks? Or knock-backs? We can act as a pre-press before you submit artwork, reducing the chance of delays and costs.
Worried we won’t have manufactured anything like what you are looking for? Great, let’s get learning and add another string or two to our bows. Discovering new processes is what ALBOM45 does best!
We can act as a one-off service, case by case, or we can become your routine go-to Pre-Production Rolling Service. We would reduce those manufacturing project headaches and have you making clear educated print decisions instead of leaving it to the demons of fate and luck.
