Over the 20+ years of doing overseas printing, our core strength is a synergy of printing and international trading. While printing overseas can potentially be a money-saving strategy, the process can be daunting and mired with uncertainties, especially in the ever-changing political environment. Our goal is to ensure that our customers can achieve a substantial saving to justify going overseas while making sure that the delivery process is always within expectation.
Quotation is more than just about numbers. It is a modeling process that turns your order into a feasible, practical, and cost-effective work of art.
Most orders are manufactured by our long-term and trusted partners who have provided consistent quality and delivery. [more]...
For orders that may require niche specialty, we are able to find the most qualified factory and supervise the production to ensure "as expected" end products. [more]...
If your end-product is to be manufactured in China and for distribution in the Asia region, we are the perfect one-stop service for your needs. [more]...
Our team is experienced in helping customers develop new print (and non-print) products from prototype to the final production. [more]...
Getting through customs on either side of the ocean is no cake-walk; it takes experience and expertise to convince the gatekeepers. [more]...
With overseas printing, logistics is the other half of the total picture. We offer hassle and worry free delivery from the other side of the ocean straight to your door. [more]...
Although the same job printed overseas might cost less, there's an added cost of ocean and inland shipping to consider. Based on our experience, there's a magic ratio of print cost to freight cost in order to make the overall pricing competitive.
There's also the matter of turn-around time. While the physical manufacturing times are similar, the added time to ship the product via ocean/rail freight is inescapable in every overseas printing job.
So is overseas printing a good fit for you? The first and foremost prerequisite is the four to six weeks turn-around time. While certain type of jobs can save as much as 50%, our goal is to save you at least 15% off your domestic printing price. Our philosophy is that if we can't provide a substantial saving, printing overseas can't be justifiable.
While the order is made overseas, it strictly adheres to the standard that we are used to - American standard. [more...]
We live and work where you are; we work under the same set of laws and values as you do. [more...]
We are old helmsman when it comes to crossing the dangerous river of printing overseas. [more...]
Our legal presence in China makes the entire supply chain legally bound under Chinese laws. [more...]
From printing to delivery to your door, we make the entire process hassle and worry free for you. [more...]
"I am grateful for all the hand-holding by Jeff throughout my first overseas printing experience. It looked complicated on paper before the job began, but everything came together perfectly!"
"Jeff has been detrimental in helping us save a chunk on part of our product lines. By identifying what's best suited for overseas, we were able to better balance delivery and savings."
"Being a small publisher, we specialize in unique journals and notebooks. I'd like to thank Jeff for helping our company obtain a solid savings by taking our jobs overseas."
"I was terrified at first to print overseas, but Jeff has shown that the process can be very manageable. Both the quality and savings are there. This is definitely more than what I had expected!"
"With some planning ahead, we were able to realize a hefty savings by going with Jeff and his team. Our marketing material were delivered as expected. Good job team!"
"We always have juggle between quality, price, and delivery on our books. Jeff's company got the first two nailed down but overseas printing did take a while although it did came in during the expected time frame. Thank you."
"We were able to print many of our packaging needs overseas with Jeff's company. Both the savings and services are there. We look forward to many more cooperations in the years ahead."
"Publishing books are hard enough, printing them should be straight forward. Thank you for helping us to increase our profit margin and make printing overseas easy and breezy."
"Getting our catalogs printed overseas is a great idea! With some planning ahead, we ended up saving a bundle on our printing cost. Thank you for being there."
Many sellers from China try to solicit business directly. While some have the best intentions, many would choose to "walk away" whenever an issue arises - leaving customers holding the bag on their own. Certain China sourcing sites are populated with agents who won't take responsibility for anything.
Digitally printed proof can take up from 11 to 14 days to turn-around; this includes the time for file transit, production, and priority delivery.
Unfortunately, to specify a particular paper stock would mean that our overseas factories will need to use "imported paper" from either the States or Europe. Specifying paper defeats the cost-saving potential of overseas printing. We are more than happy to supply customers with paper samples that are comparable to domestic paper stock; however, to use the exact same paper stock will not be cost-effective.
No. Our minimum service includes port-to-port freight and customs clearance. Customer can arrange pick-up once it clears the Customs at the local port of entry. Please be advised, if inexperienced, the act of picking-up from local port of entry can be a time-consuming and frustrating endeavor.
Yes, but it will not be efficient. Since we do not have complete control over ocean shipping, customs clearance, and inland trucking, we will easily miss any deadline being set by the customer. We can guarantee you a number of days for production, but we have no control if an ocean freighter should break-down, the U.S. Customs decides to surprise inspect your shipment, or if the truckers go on strike... If a hard deadline is needed for the job, we recommend doing partial shipment via air cargo. This will have a higher likelihood of success.
