DO GRAPHIC DESIGNERS HANDLE PRINTING AND PRODUCTION?...
Absolutely - though it’s important to clarify expectations up front. When people picture a graphic designer, they typically think about digital assets or logo design, but many designers also offer guidance on printing and production. With a graphic design subscription, you can collaborate with seasoned professionals who streamline the process. Here’s how it usually works:
1. File Preparation and Vendor Coordination
​
​​Before anything goes to print - whether it’s an advertisement design, infographic design, or business cards - designers will optimise your files for quality and clarity. Once you and your designer agree on costs and vendor details, they’ll coordinate to ensure everything runs smoothly, double-checking specifications like paper type or colour modes.
2. Consistency Across Materials
​
​​From brochures to large-scale banners, designers can advise on printing techniques that match your brand’s look and feel. If you’re part of an unlimited design subscription, you’ll have ongoing access to graphic design services that keep all your collateral cohesive - just confirm any extra production fees or timelines before each new print run.
3. Avoiding Costly Mistakes
​
​​Nothing’s worse than receiving a shipment of mismatched or off-colour prints. Good designers will help you avoid these pitfalls by clarifying details like bleed margins, colour profiles, and printing methods at the start of each project. That way, you don’t end up paying for avoidable reprints.
4. Streamlined Process
​
​​If you’d rather not juggle multiple vendors or handle micro-details, outsourcing production through your design subscription is a solid option. Just remember: while the designer’s expertise covers file prep and vendor coordination, the final expenses - paper stock, printing fees, shipping - are typically agreed upon before the project kicks off.
5. Flexibility and Scalability
​
​​As your brand needs evolve, your designer can scale production - whether you’re printing a small batch of flyers or rolling out full-scale product packaging. Discussing costs early and revisiting them as projects grow ensures everyone stays on the same page.
