I was in your shop today to sign off on a color check for my brochure. Why do I need to wait two more days for the job to be complete?
One of the inviolate rules of bindery is not to handle wet press sheets. After your brochure was printed, we put it on a drying rack to allow the ink to dry thoroughly. The next day we were able to cut down the press sheets, fold and trim without risking the ink smearing or cracking. Then your brochures were packaged and considered ready for delivery, either via our courier or by having you come in to pick up the job.
Our policy is to have jobs completely finished, packaged, ready for presentation to you on the agreed-upon due date. That's why we needed two days after press to deliver your job---one day to complete bindery work and the second day to have your job ready for you when we open at 8:30AM.
Here at B.C. Printing we perform some bindery functions in-house; we also use the services of a trade bindery when we lack the proper equipment or if the job quantity makes it too time consuming to do here. In this case we may need even more time for bindery--we will factor that in when we commit to a delivery date. Call me at 303-320-4855 or email me at dan@bcprintinginc.com.
