A PRACTICAL PRINT GUIDE

Good print starts with a good plan.

You do not need to know every paper term. You need a clear purpose, the right format, and a realistic path from artwork to delivery.

Printing for the way Birmingham does business.

Birmingham is a medical, banking and engineering city with a food scene people drive in for, and its businesses print like they plan to be around.

Birmingham’s economy is anchored by a major academic medical center and the healthcare companies around it, banking and financial services downtown, engineering and construction firms, and a restaurant culture that has earned national attention. Downtown and Avondale carry the restaurants, breweries and studios; Homewood, Mountain Brook and Vestavia carry the boutiques, practices and households; the university runs through the middle of it.

Print in Birmingham should be polished and personal. A soft touch or matte card for a practice or a firm, a gloss card for a contractor, postcards and rack cards for the restaurants and shops. Because the city’s neighbourhoods are distinct and loyal, a mailer or a door hanger route reaches people who choose local.

Where print earns its keep in Birmingham.

Print works differently in different parts of a city. These are the places in Birmingham where a printed piece tends to do the most work, and the piece that usually suits each one.

Downtown and the medical district. Healthcare, banking and law. Cards with a premium finish and sales sheets with the details.

Avondale and Lakeview. Breweries, restaurants and venues. Flyers, postcards and rack cards.

Homewood, Mountain Brook and Vestavia. Boutiques, practices and neighbourhood businesses. Rack cards, postcards and door hangers.

The BJCC. Conventions and events. A retractable banner and a sales sheet.

One clear purpose. The right piece of paper.

What Birmingham tends to order. Banking, law and healthcare offices around the medical district order a premium business card, often soft touch, alongside a sales sheet built for a referral rather than a walk-in. Engineering and construction firms favour a sturdier card and a sales sheet with real specifications for a bid. Restaurants and breweries in Avondale lean on postcards and rack cards timed to a menu or a season, and boutiques and practices in Homewood, Mountain Brook and Vestavia work rack cards and door hangers street by street.

Put a readable name first, then one line about what you do, then the one contact route you want people to use. A finish should support that, never make it harder to read.

A Birmingham note. Birmingham design is Southern and refined: a serif or a clean sans-serif, deep greens and navies, a matte or soft touch card. Keep the layout traditional and the stock good; here a card is still judged in the hand.

A brand does not need every piece to look identical, only a consistent voice, a deliberate palette and type that works at several sizes. Bring your logo, or start from nothing: print product design is $97 and logo design is $250, set up for the product and finish you picked.

One team. A consistent look.Your identity, carried from the first card to the next campaign.

Plan around the day you need it in hand.

Work backward from the day the materials have to be ready, and leave room for artwork, the proof, production and shipping. Each product page states its own time on press: two to three business days for most cards and postcards once you approve your proof, three to four for soft touch and door hangers, seven to twelve for the XL banner. Shipping sits on top of that. Give us the delivery address and your date when you order, with a receiving name if it is going to a venue, a hotel or a shared office. If the date is fixed, say so and we will tell you whether it is possible before you pay.

Getting print into Birmingham. Birmingham's suburbs sit over a literal ridge from downtown, and a delivery to Mountain Brook or Vestavia is a slower trip than the map distance suggests. The BJCC and downtown hotels want a name and an event or booth number attached to anything arriving ahead of a conference. Summers are hot and humid enough to soften a card left in a car, and the rare winter ice event can shut the same ridge roads linking downtown to the suburbs.

Mailing in Birmingham. For postcards by route, Homewood, Mountain Brook, Crestwood and Vestavia Hills are neighbourhoods where a mailer reaches households and gets read.

Give the file your full attention.

Use the artwork guide on the product you picked, because the finished size, the bleed and the safe area are not the same for every format. Upload a PDF, PNG or JPG and the size, bleed and resolution are checked in your browser, then your proof arrives by email and nothing goes to press until you approve it. Read your own details out loud when it lands: names, numbers, web addresses, dates, spelling and which side is which. If there is a QR code, scan it yourself.

GOOD QUESTIONS

Glad
you asked.

Do you have a print shop in Birmingham?

No. We are an online print service and we ship to Birmingham and the surrounding suburbs. We check the size, bleed and resolution in your browser when you upload, your proof comes by email, and nothing goes to press until you approve it.

What finish suits a medical or law practice?

Soft touch, most often: a 16pt card with a velvet laminate both sides that feels expensive in a handshake. Matte is the quieter choice. Both are priced per thousand on their own pages.

What should we send ahead to the BJCC for a medical conference booth?

A retractable banner with its stand, booth cards and a sales sheet cover most booths at the BJCC well. Put the booth number or hall name and your own name on the order along with the event dates, and we will tell you honestly whether the timing works before you order.

Do you print door hangers for a contractor working Vestavia or Hoover?

Yes, in 1,000, 2,500 or 5,000, with the rush built into the price rather than charged separately. Give us the streets or the subdivisions you plan to cover and we can help size the count to the route instead of guessing at a number.

Do I need a printer near me, or can I order online?

It depends on the job. If you need walk-in copying, a scan, or something in your hand this afternoon, a nearby shop is the right call and we will tell you so. For planned business print, compare the products, the design help, the file check and the delivery arrangements, then pick whichever fits your deadline and the way you like to work.

What affects the cost of a print order?

Product, size, quantity, paper, finish, design work and shipping. Compare like for like: the same size, the same number of sides and the same quantity, or the comparison means nothing. Our prices sit on the product pages rather than behind a quote.

ALSO PRINTING FOR

The rest of the Southeast.

Same products, same file check, a different city. If you work across more than one of these, the artwork is set up once and prints the same in each.
