Local printing: fewer miles from press to doorstep
Most print on demand is despatched from a handful of large factories. When we choose the printer, we choose one near the person receiving the order.
Why local matters
Shorter journeys mean fewer delivery miles per parcel, and more of the value of every order stays with independent print businesses in your customers’ communities.
- Shorter delivery journeys
- Work for independent printers near your customers
Your printer, or one nearby
Name a printer on the network in the order and it goes to them. If you don’t, we send it to a printer near the delivery address that makes the product.
- Shorter delivery journeys
- Work for independent print businesses
- Reprints and refunds are agreed with the printer; we carry the messages
Common questions
Is every order printed locally?
When we choose the printer, yes: one near the delivery address that makes the product. If you name a printer, it goes to them wherever they are.
