Designing A Custom Form Tailored to Your Needs

Posted , updated on

Designing a custom form can be overwhelming. We can walk you through the process and design a custom form unique to your business.

If you want to take a shot at designing your own form, we recommend using Canva.com FREE Online Form Builder.

This video is an excellent overview, regardless of who designs the form. While we believe every business should break away from templates, create unique designs, and follow the business’s branding, we think templates are a great place to start.

Once you have completed the form design, we recommend testing it with a small quantity of black and white copies.

After testing the form, you can determine if you need to adjust the custom form design, move forward with a larger printed quantity, or even simply complete the final digital version to embed and share.

We offer various custom forms, each customizable to fit your specific requirements. We do recommend considering Carbonless Forms.

The Benefits of Carbonless Forms for Small Businesses

Carbonless forms are a game-changer for keeping your business organized and professional. Also known as NCR (No Carbon Required) forms, they create duplicates without messy carbon paper. Write on one sheet, and the information copies instantly to the sheets below—no smudges, no fuss. This makes record-keeping seamless and ensures everyone has accurate copies of transactions and documents.

Efficient and Accurate Documentation

Carbonless forms are highly efficient. When you issue invoices or receipts, these forms make sure you and your customer get precise transaction copies. This means fewer errors and less time spent double-checking details. They are also versatile. Use them for purchase orders to keep communication clear between buyers and suppliers. They work for contracts and agreements, providing each party with a signed copy without needing photocopies. Even delivery notesbecome easy, offering proof of delivery crucial for maintaining customer trust.

Industry-Specific Advantages

Different industries have different needs, and carbonless forms fit the bill. In service industries, they help manage work orders efficiently, ensuring everyone—from customers to technicians—stays on the same page. In healthcare, they streamline patient records and prescriptions, making it easier to keep accurate records. The financial sector benefits too, using these forms for deposit slips and other transactions.

Boost Your Business Efficiency

Adding carbonless forms to your daily operations can boost your organizational efficiency. They help maintain accurate records and present a professional image to clients and partners. Whether you need single-part, two-part (duplicate), three-part (triplicate), or even four-part forms, there’s a solution for every documentation need. They are invaluable for any small business looking to streamline processes and improve overall efficiency.

If you’re not using carbonless forms yet, it might be time to give them a try. They’re a simple, powerful tool that can make a big difference in managing your business documentation.

What is your why?

WHAT IS YOUR WHY?

It’s important to recognize that the reasons why small businesses think customers choose them don’t always align with the customers’ actual reasons. While small businesses might emphasize quality, innovation, or their mission in their marketing, customers might be more influenced by convenience, price, or recommendations from friends and family. Sometimes, customers stick with a business out of habit or because of a strong emotional connection, which the business might not fully realize. To bridge this gap, it’s crucial for small businesses to actively seek and listen to customer feedback. By understanding the real reasons behind customer choices, small businesses can better tailor their offerings and marketing strategies, creating a more satisfying experience for everyone involved. Understanding why your customers choose your business is crucial for small business success. It helps you keep them coming back by maintaining the qualities they love, and allows you to tailor your marketing to highlight what sets you apart. Knowing their needs and preferences can improve your customer service, develop new products or services, and enhance their overall experience. This insight also gives you a competitive edge, fosters brand loyalty, and turns satisfied customers into enthusiastic advocates. Plus, it equips you to handle any issues more effectively, ensuring your business grows sustainably. So, take the time to get to know your customers better—it’s a win-win for everyone!

What is the Pantone Matching System and why is it important?

Posted , updated on

The Pantone Matching System, which we sometimes refer to as PMS, is used to help keep colors consistent for reproducing a certain color on different equipment and/or using different methods. Each color has a reference number, and this number can be given to any printer, manufacturing company, or designer to ensure the color is the same. For example, USA Quickprint uses PMS 185 for the color red. Anytime we print our invoices, order vinyl for our decals, get t-shirts printed, reproduce labels we use this PMS 185 red to keep the red in our logo consistent. Check out the video below for a great visual.

Pantone.com does a great job explaining the Panton Matching System as “a universal language of color that enables color-critical decisions through every stage of the workflow for brands and manufacturers. More than 10 million designers and producers around the world rely on Pantone products and services to help define, communicate and control color from inspiration to realization – across various materials and finishes for graphics, fashion and product design” (https://www.pantone.com/color-systems/pantone-color-systems-explained).

If you are just starting out, revising your company brand, or you have an established brand, it is important to know your Pantone Color(s) to keep your brand consistent. If you want to know your Pantone color(s) or need to pick some colors out, feel free to reach out to us and we will be happy to help you out.

What does USA Quickprint Do? (Part 3)

Posted , updated on

Over the past few weeks, we have discussed two types of printing that USA Quickprint specializes in: offset printing and digital printing. If you have not had the opportunity to read these posts, you should! What does USA Quickprint Do? (Part 1) and What does USA Quickprint Do? (Part 2)

This week… it is all about Large Format Printing! Large Format Printing, also sometimes referred to as Wide Format Printing, is a type of digital printing that produces products that are too big to be produced on your home printer or even on high production copiers. USA Quickprint considers anything larger than 12” x 18” to be large format. Other attributes about large format printing, other than size, is media and ink. Media and inks used for Large Format Printing are typically more durable than offset and other digital printing methods and great for many outdoor uses. For example, banners, decals, parking lot signs, and yard signs are the popular outdoor products USA Quickprint produces using Large Format printing. We also produce indoor point of sale (POS) signage, posters, blueprints, and canvas prints.

Recently we upgraded our 52” inkjet printer and had to bring it through the window to get it upstairs. Big equipment for big jobs! Check out the video below!

Also, I found a video that gives a great example of what digital printing is, How It’s Made: Digital Printing, and it also shows some Large Format Printing in action.

What does USA Quickprint Do? (Part 1)

Posted , updated on

USA Quickprint has been in business since 1984. We have a number of customers who have been with USA Quickprint since we opened our doors, or shortly after, and every day we gain a new customer. However, we still hear the statement “we did not know you did that” from some of our long time customers. Or, we have a new customer who has driven past our building for a number of years and “did not know anything about USA Quickprint”.

We have a number of products and services, but we specialize in offset printing, digital printing, and large format printing. What does that mean? What is offset printing? What is digital printing? What is large format printing? How do each of those benefit you? Over the next few posts, it is our goal to help you understand what USA Quickprint does and what products and services we offer.

We started out specializing in offset printing. This short video below, found on YouTube, gives a great overview of How Offset Printing Works. When do we use offset printing and for what products? As mentioned in the video, the larger quantity jobs have a cost benefit, but also jobs that require special color requirements also benefit from offset printing. Common products that are printed using this method are: brochures, business cards, envelopes, flyers, forms, instructions, labels, letterhead, mailings, placemats, stationery, and tags.

 

Direct Mail Marketing is a Great Tool

Posted , updated on

Direct Mail can leave a lasting memory of your company or event!

I was searching for some content to share about direct mail marketing and came across a great article on mailchimp.com about direct mail. Direct mail marketing can be done through the USPS, or other direct delivery methods. It does not necessarily need to be a physical printed piece to be successful. Digital direct mail marketing is done through email, however these days some inboxes are inundated with emails. If done correctly, direct mail marketing can leave a lasting memory of the message being sent. Over the years we have seen many of our customers have great success with Every Door Direct Mail (EDDM) when targeting an area, or even using a purchased or custom mail list.
