Print Management Services - Questions and Answers

---

We remain under the same ownership and management, and our expert bindery team will continue to deliver exceptional bindery solutions. We added the term 'Print Management' because we now oversee the complete life cycle of commercial printing. Our clients were frustrated with the challenges of coordinating between different commercial printers and our finishing shop, so we expanded our services to provide a seamless, single-source solution for quality print services.

Absolutely. Our in-house bindery department is the cornerstone of our business, providing exceptional bindery solutions. If you have a preferred printer and require our specialized finishing, folding, and binding, you can still rely on us as before. We're here to support you completely. However, if you're looking to save time and freight costs on a project, we now offer commercial printing services as well, allowing us to handle the print sourcing for you.

It actually works in your favor. By moving a high volume of work, we access bindery solutions and buy print at wholesale trade rates that aren't available to individual companies. When you factor in those wholesale discounts—plus the freight costs you save by not shipping heavy, raw flat sheets from a printer to a finisher—our total project price for quality print services is often highly competitive, if not cheaper, than managing two separate vendors yourself.

In our industry, print quality is actually determined in the finishing phase. A standard print broker typically drop-ships an order from a trade printer straight to your doorstep without any quality oversight. In contrast, we offer exceptional bindery solutions because we own our bindery. Every single job we broker is first shipped to our shop floor. Our finishing teams conduct a multi-point quality inspection during the cutting, folding, and binding stages of our commercial printing process. If the presswork isn't perfect, it never leaves our building, ensuring that you receive the highest quality print services.

Because we aren't limited to the specific press sizes on our floor, our capabilities are virtually limitless. We match your project to the exact specialty press best suited for it, providing top-notch quality print services. Our expertise encompasses massive commercial printing runs, high-end variable digital printing, large-format signage, and packaging. Whatever your project demands, we also offer exceptional bindery solutions, sourcing the raw print blocks perfectly and finishing them to artisan standards.

When you work with us, the finger-pointing stops. Traditionally, if a book has an error, the printer blames the finisher and the finisher blames the printer. With Harrison, we offer comprehensive bindery solutions that ensure 100% single-source accountability. We manage the entire process from the initial digital file to the final bound product, so any issue falls under our quality print services. This means that if a problem arises, we take responsibility to fix it immediately, at no extra cost to you.
