PrintLocal takes the hassle out of finding the perfect fit between a standard printing shop and your custom printing project needs.
With over 30 years of experience in the commercial printing industry, we know sometimes it makes good financial sense to have your commercial printing done in distant states, in Canada , or even in Europe . Certain printing shops, although far away, can offer extraordinary designs, colors and features that translate into a more effective printing project for your company in the long run. We welcome all printing shop companies, regardless of location, for just that reason.
We know that shipping costs can affect your budget and there are times—as when you need a press proof quickly or a face-to-face meeting—that there is no substitute for a local printing shop. Finding the right local printer for a cheap printing job can require a lot of time and effort on your part. With our convenient services, however, your search is done in minutes, saving you much-needed time and resources.
Cheap Printing Isn’t Always Best
You know the drill. You’ve got to deliver a four-color custom printing project to the client in time for a product launch next week. So, you pick up the phone and start calling one digital printing service after another. Or maybe you go to each digital printing service website and fill out a form. Either way, you have to list the job specs again and again. Every printer’s custom printing spec sheet is different.
You decide on the cheap printing bid, but it turns out to have problems. Chief among them is the fact that the digital printing service print shop doesn’t have the right equipment for the job. What do you do?

PrintLocal.com takes the hassle out of finding the perfect fit between a printer and your print project.
With over 30 years of experience in the printing industry, we know that sometimes it makes good financial sense to have your printing done in distant states, in Canada, or even in Europe. And we welcome printers of every sort, regardless of location, for just that reason.
But we also know that shipping costs can eat you alive and that there are times—as when you need a press proof or a face-to-face meeting—that there is no substitute for a local printer. But finding the right local printer for a given job can require a lot of time and effort on your part.
The way it was
You know the drill. You’ve got to deliver 500 four-color press kit brochures to the client in time for a product launch next week. So you pick up the phone and start calling printers you’ve worked with before. Or maybe you go to each printer’s Web site and fill in a form. Either way, you have to list the job specs again and again and again. Every printer’s spec sheet is different. And, of course, there’s always that awkward moment when the salesperson gives you a quote on the phone and waits for you to give him or her the go-ahead—and you have to say “I’ll get back to you.”
So you go with the lowest bidder. But it turns out that there are problems. Chief among them is the fact that the print shop doesn’t have the right equipment for the job. Who knew? They sounded so nice on the phone.
Thanks to your efforts, it all works out in the end. But not for the first time do you conclude that sometimes going with the cheapest price isn’t always the best policy. If only you’d known about that printer beforehand! You certainly would never have given them the job.
These are the kinds of aggravations PrintLocal.com was created to eliminate.
The perfect solution
With PrintLocal.com, you fill out a single RFQ (Request for Quote) form, enter your Zip code, specify a radius in miles from your location, and you’re done. Your quote request will instantly be sent to all the subscribing printers within the area you’ve specified. Those who are interested in the job will send you their bids by e-mail.
You can then respond by e-mail or just pick up the phone. But before making your decision, you can check the print buyer bulletin board to see if others have posted positive or negative comments about the printer you are considering. So you will have a much better idea of who you’re dealing with.
PrintLocal.com is simple. It’s easy. And, most important of all, it makes perfect sense. We offer the kind of time-saving, money-saving, aggravation-eliminating service the Internet pundits have been promising for years. And it costs you nothing! No wonder print buyers love us so.
But they’re not alone. Printers also love us because our subscription fees are so low: Just $250.00 a year or $35.00 a month, period. No commissions or percentages! And if you’re a printer and you establish an ongoing relationship with a customer you hooked up with via PrintLocal.com, you don’t owe us a dime on your future business with that customer.
Ask yourself: What do other printing industry Web sites do for you to justify a 2% or more commission on all future business you get from a print buyer you found using their service? We think it is a misguided business model. And we believe that as a printer, at these prices, there is simply no way you can lose. If you get even one job you wouldn’t have otherwise gotten, your subscription to PrintLocal.com will have paid for itself.
It simply makes sense
Whether you’re a printer or a print buyer, PrintLocal.com simply makes sense! It combines communications technology, extensive printing industry experience, and well-designed Web site programming to make it as easy as possible for someone who needs printing services to identify and do business with qualified printers, whether they’re down the street or around the world.
