How a job moves
No automated pricing and no auto-replies. Your specs go to our team, who check them against the process and come back with a price and a plan.
Step 1
Use the quote portal, email or call. Rough specs are fine. We'll fill the gaps together.
Step 2
A person reads every request, checks the specs against the process, and flags anything that could cause trouble on press or in the bindery.
Step 3
Tricky jobs get a consult, a dummy or a prototype before anything runs, so the plan is proven first.
Step 4
Your job runs in our Carlstadt bindery: stitching, folding, cutting, finishing or hand assembly.
Step 5
Finished goods go back to you, to your customer, or out as kits and drop shipments.
