Do you recognize defining moments? I've missed more than a few. Printing is an intense business full of distractions and hurdles to manage. It's easy to get hung up in the weeds and miss something seismic when it's happening right in front of you. I remember when Paul Hudson told me he was buying his first Landa. I was intrigued and, like most of the printing public, curious about the machine. I had never seen one even though I had been hearing the promise for years. I was more than a little astonished when Paul told me, barely months later, that he was adding his second. Where had the need come from? How could he justify it so soon? Exactly what was going on at Hudson Printing? I had the chance to meet Asher Levy of Landa at Hudson's recent TOPO event. Wow, what a guy. He's humble, confident, committed and really smart. I enjoyed every second I was privileged to spend with him. Hudson Printing's tag line is Reinvent Print. From the cheap seats, the line describes exactly what they intend to do. It explains how Paul Hudson picks partners and service design. It explains the two Landa machines. In a casual moment I told Mr. Levy how impressed I was with Landa and the impact they've had on Paul's company. His tone grew serious. He responded, "we're just getting started." This was yet another defining moment for me. Standing between the two machines was exciting. Watching these three guys kick tires and brainstorm possibilities was simply inspiring. Printing is an exciting business. You can say yes to more than ever before. You can help clients at a much higher level. I'll add this...if your company doesn't excite you figure out why. If you're not excited you won't excite customers...and someone else will. Are you at the wrong place or are you thinking about things in the wrong way? I know I left the Hudson event with my wheels turning. I wonder what's next? There will certainly be something!

Every business or brand needs time to grow. On a certain day, my boss at the office took me to the side and said; "do you know that a lot of people want to make it so quick in life that they neglect one of the greatest and strongest bricks for building a sustainable business which is TIME?." As much as the walk to fame and the life we desire might seem difficult, please do not miss out on the processes time accords you. Nothing good comes easy and if you must birth greatness, you need to be able to hold on through time while trusting the process. Dearest reader, do note that holding on to the virtue called "Patience" while en-route the wrong way isn't a wise choice. as much as you wish to allow time do its thing on your growth, ensure that you are engaging the right systems necessary for your growth. #printing #packaging #balancecreatives #branding #july #digitalmarketting

The King’s Award for Enterprise has recognised companies reliant on innovative print. Perhaps most notable was paper bottle developer Frugalpac, whose bottles were shown at a trade event hosted by the King and Queen in Bordeaux last year. Another winner was Wonderbly, the personalised book publisher, has won the King’s Enterprise Award for International Trade in the 2024 roll call of 252 winning businesses. While not a print business itself, the publisher relies on digital print to deliver personalised books across the world. In the UK, Pureprint, Charlesworth and Precision Printing have been suppliers, all working to perfect the workflows and quality control checks to ensure that book of one production is possible.

Choosing the right print shop for quality print work is essential to ensure that your printed materials meet your expectations and represent your brand effectively. Here are some steps to help you make the right choice: 1) Define Your Needs: Clearly define what you need to print. Consider factors like the type of materials (business cards, flyers, brochures, posters, etc.), quantity, quality, and any special finishing options (like embossing or foil stamping). 2) Samples of Work: Ask for samples of their previous work, especially if you have specific quality requirements. This will help you assess the print quality, color accuracy, and finishing options they can provide. 3) Turnaround Time: Consider your project's timeline. Ask about their turnaround times and whether they can accommodate your schedule. Rush orders may incur additional costs. 4) Customer Service: Evaluate their customer service. Responsive and attentive communication is crucial, especially if you have questions or concerns during the printing process. 5) Cost and Quotes: Request detailed quotes from your shortlisted print shops. Compare pricing, but don't make it the sole determining factor. Quality should be the primary consideration. Be wary of quotes that seem too good to be true. Remember that the right print shop can become a valuable partner for your business, providing consistent, high-quality printed materials that enhance your brand's image. Take the time to research and choose wisely.

On the days I face creative blocks, this is the place I usually visit. The printing press! Going by the name, you would think it's a pretty boring place but this is where the brands come alive. This is where entrepreneurs get to see & feel their product packaging for the first time. The materials used for printing, the designs, the brand names and the fresh colours coming out of the press are things which restore the creative juices after a long day of work. With time, have made friends in various presses and these guys never disappoint. Every single time they have something innovative to show. Meanwhile, you also realise that the thing you thought was your innovation is already being deployed by some brand. Nothing less than a classroom! #printing #press #classroom #brands #branding #packaging #design #marketing #market #sales #entrepreneurs #creative
