Accurate Estimates
At Springfield Printing, we strive to establish relationships with customers that place a premium on personalized service. One of the ways we seek to do that is by providing you with the most accurate estimates possible. That offers numerous advantages throughout the print production process, from budgeting to delivery details. The result of this effective planning minimizes revisions and reduces costs.
When submitting a request for quotation to Springfield Printing, here are three key areas where we need as much information as possible in order to provide a fast, accurate estimate:
Determine Your Budget
The first and most important step when planning a project is to carefully determine a production budget. At Springfield Printing, we want you to get the most out of every dollar you spend. Communicating your goals for a project in conjunction with an accurate budget will allow us to steer all subsequent steps in the proper direction.

Communicate Project Specifications
Once we know your budget and overall project goals, our estimating staff can let you know what's possible within that budget. At this point, any production specifications or requirements should be communicated, such as paper details, final product size, spot color and binding requirements. The more information we have, the more accurate an estimate we can provide. In addition, we can often find ways to get you the best "bang for the buck", such as stretching paper size to eliminate pages.
Scheduling and Shipping Details
Shipping the final product can be a costly aspect of your estimate, so be sure to inform us of any scheduling and shipping requirements. This includes boxing, packaging and labeling requirements. Once we're aware of your needs in these areas, we can create an accurate estimate that reflects commitments we'll be able to easily honor. This will help minimize excessive modifications that may delay production and force expedited - and costly - shipment.
The Springfield Printing Advantage
At Springfield Printing, we seek to deliver the highest quality product with the fastest turn around time in the most cost-effective manner possible. We offer a wide range of services to make this goal a reality, from communicating with you early and often during the planning and design phase to easy FTP uploading of your materials and comprehensive proofreading of our output against your final content. We aim to keep the promises we make; supplying you with an accurate estimate is the first step in a worry-free print production experience!
