Over the course of the summer there has been an unusual amount of restaurants interested in menu printing. There have even been interests that have contacted us from across the country for menu samples.
There is quite a difference between take-out menus and seating menus.
Take-out menus can be printed on regular copy paper, while most seating menus require gloss coats, full color and a thicker quality of paper. Of course this all depends on the look that the restaurant is going for, but keep in mind customers are drawn to the layout and design of a menu.
For customers that were only in the beginning stages, our in-house designer came up with a menu for them. Using the company logo and various images each and every menu is given a unique design. (Our in-house designer is available for meetings and will gladly schedule an appointment to help each client). Keep in mind that your menu design should reflect the cuisine served.
These are only some of the restaurants that allowed us to print for them:
Bagels N GreensSavour CafeShawarma KingSunflower Cafe*On a side note, menu printing seems to always work in our favor. The owner or whomever places the order always gives us the courtesy of free delivery or specials for our printing services. We do enjoy being given the opportunity to participate in a restaurants endeavor.
Recently, we were given a special invitation job for a young mans Bar Mitzvah. The comic explains to all of his peers that receive the invitation, how the process goes along. This type of invitation was something new for us, and our designer had never seen the idea in print before.
Bazooka Joe Young and Archie comics were old-time favorites for previous generations. The comic is loosely based on this idea and it worked pretty well. The comic ends by asking the receiver to complete the comic by filling in their acceptance to the Bar Mitzvah.
Do not believe that this idea is only good for a Bar or Bot Mitzvah because it can be used in anything. The comic book invitation was a short-run job printed on newsprint and completed in 1 day. The entire staff got a kick out of reading the comic, and so we decided to blog the job in hopes of sharing the idea with others.
Here are some photos of the completed job:
The Poster Printers are capable of doing high quality jobs within a short turn around time. This is just one of the many interesting and creative jobs that we have had the privileged to print.
For this month our email blast was comprised of an extensive list of WholeSale Printing prices. It seems using the word wholesale in a selling strategy does pay off and The Printing Factory welcomes the business. Instead of giving your printing job to the supplier that outsources. Visit The Printing Factory for wholesale prices and professional service. WholeSale Prices are valid by mentioning this blog post.
Printers need assistance and Adobe came up with Creative Suite to make their lives a bit easier.
Creative Suite 5 is the recent addition to the Adobe editing family:
Content-aware fill is allows the user to select an area of a file to be removed and it is automatically filled in and blended.
Spot Healing Brush is perfect for photo retouching and it does speed up the time that editors spend on proofing files for print. (
The Printing Factory MAC machines as well as PC's are all equipped with Adobe products). Our processing system condenses the amount of time clients make mistakes with artwork by reviewing the files before print. This not only saves us and the client's precious time, but also saves money on wasted paper.
InDesign another tool used by printers is also much smoother in viewing the image. Instead of having to span the entire file a few clicks can bring the user back to the original view. Layers and elements can now be grouped together which also saves time for the user and the client. Implementing new text and graphics into a file is also much smoother and simpler. The grid style design is easy to use and flexible compared to previous versions.

My clothing boutique caters to the young and urban—those chic New Yorkers in skinny jeans and (hopefully) one of my blouses. And whether they’re eco-friendly or just strapped for cash, this crowd is all about commuting with public transit.
That’s how I knew I wanted my
digital printing ad campaign to be fit for bus shelters. Picture this: A group of coeds shivering at the bus stop on a cold winter morning, staring longingly at one of my deluxe wool scarves. Or a super-soft fuzzy hat. Or a pair of stylish leather boots. It’s like looking at food when you’re hungry!
Once I had my concept, I just needed execution, which meant finding a poster printing service that could fit my needs. One of those needs, unfortunately, was a low price—with the economy the way that it is, my sales have definitely been suffering.
I found a great affordable printing company in Brooklyn with experience creating bus shelter ads, billboards, and more. I might even go back to
www.ThePosterPrinters.com when it’s time to reprint my catalogs!
Nowadays, if you want consumers to stop staring at their computer screens and cell phones for more than two seconds, you need to give them something good to look at, which means your printed media has to be innovative, colorful, clever, and memorable.
For my company, I spent a lot of capital hiring talented designers to create appealing designs for our posters and brochures. Our finished specs were amazing, but there was only one catch—I had to find an
affordable printing company to balance out the cost.
Of course, I also wanted to be paying for top-quality digital printing—that means vibrant colors, customizable sizes, and quick turnaround times. Is there an affordable
poster printing service out there that offers all of that for a bargain?
At first, I didn’t think so. But then a colleague recommended
www.ThePosterPrinters.com, a trusted Brooklyn company that’s been around for over 30 years, and the experience really shows.
The Poster Printers’ turnaround speed is just incredible! Simple orders can be finished in a single day, and the maximum for bigger projects is often as little as three.
As we mentioned before, creating a successful
poster campaign doesn't cost a lot of money - all it takes is creativity and innovation. If you're looking to start a poster campaign of your own, but can't quite find a good lead, here are a few ideas that might freshen up your thought process.
Take a look at this
wild posting campaign that costs almost nothing and makes a certain supermarket look like a million dollars:
Here at the
Poster Printers, we just love posters. Thought they had to be 2 dimensional? Well think again.
This is a classic Guerrilla ad. All it takes is an emergency exit, a small poster addition, and a lot of good humor.
And here's another poster campaign that does excellent use with its surroundings:
Wish I was there earlier...
What do you say? Of course that you don't have to be a giant corporation in order to print a successful
poster campaign. All you have to do is get a bright idea and visit the
Poster Printers because whether it’s advertising, sales or promotions you are looking to print, the
Poster Printers are here to answer all your printing needs.
Posters and Signs are probably the most basic way to
promote your business or event. Posters and signs can be used when you need to display your product or event to the public and there is a large selection of posters of standard sizes and colors. What should you choose?
First of all, remember that people will look at the poster from a fair distance, probably while walking down the street or riding a bus or a cab. So remember that if you can’t understand the content of your poster from 20 feet, your audience will not be able to do so as well.
You shouldn’t cramp each and every piece of information in the poster either. Posters should catch the attention of the viewer with lively colors, a catchy slogan and preferably a call to action.
At the
Poster Printers, you will find high quality & large format posters, that are available on 100lb text, 8pt card stock and 12pt card stock. What does it mean?
100lb text are perfect for giveaways, window placements or for posting on construction sites. These can be folded, rolled or shipped flat.
8pt and 12pt card are ideal for heavy duty
outdoor advertising, such as posting on lamp posts or
political advertising. Order as low as 100 copies and still pay much less than
digital poster printing.
Whether it’s advertising, sales or promotions you are looking to print, or even your favorite photo on a canvas for a true artist reproduction of your family member, the
Poster Printers are here to answer all your printing needs.
Are you the owner of limited edition prints? You were probably thinking about
reproduction of your valuables. Your artwork deserves care and there are new developments in the printing industry that can duplicate your precious artwork, without harming its fine and delicate structure. Printing experts can now scan or photograph most mediums using the latest gentle reproduction technology and deliver supreme results.
There are three common printing methods for fine art reproductions which include Offset Printing, Silk Screen and Digital.
When you are thinking of
art reproduction, look for printers that provide accurate proofs prior to art printing – in order to ensure the results you are looking for. You should know that some printers employ artists as their reproduction staff, so they know what artist's are looking for in their prints.
The
Poster Printers offer various large format scanning technologies to assure you the best reproduction without damaging your fine art. We offer a large selection of paper stocks to choose from. If you have specific paper that you would like,
The Poster Printers will be glad to test them out on our equipment so that you achieve the best results.
Are you tired of the same old marketing techniques? The random flyers, the paper classifieds, the direct mailing? Well, you can do better than that.
Advertising is a world of fun, excitement and creativity. And you don’t have to be one of the big guys in order to maximize your marketing capabilities. All you need is some innovation, and as a business owner, we’re sure you have a lot of it.
Take Guerrilla marketing for example. A Guerrilla campaign relies on creativity and imagination, rather on a big juicy budget. When using Guerrilla marketing, you build your brand in unique and provocative ways. Provocative doesn’t mean naked people running around, but rather a bright idea that takes advantage and full awareness on its surroundings.
With Guerilla marketing, you can kiss billboards goodbye. Use the street, the urban settings, public places and be a real entrepreneur.
Wild Posting is one of the best ways to implement Guerrilla marketing into your business. Wild posting is splattered on construction site barricades, facades and alleyways.
Wild posting is now a popular advertising method and The
Poster Printers specialize in creating huge posters for the outdoor Guerilla marketing.
Whether it’s advertising, sales or promotions you are looking to print, maybe signs and banners for special events, or even your favorite photo on a canvas for a true artist reproduction of your family member,
