Anyone in the Design Or Print Business?

Ok, So the title of this thread is a little sarcastic as i know that many of you are in this business.

In the last couple years i have aquired some good printing relationships and last week i decided to launch a so called "division" of Paws Up Pet Supply. It is a Wholesale Printing Business.

Are print guys are very very cheap and do great work.

Example: 5,000 business cards - 14 pt - full color front and back and UV finish front and back for 99 dollars. (cheapest i have found is 150ish and that isnt UV coated and is 12PT - so there is lots of room for markup on these prices, especially if you just do printing for local businesses that there is no competition) - Yea almost to good to belive huh? But anyways i am letting everyone know that runs a printing business now or runs a design business and wants to start a printing side of the business that we are open to wholesale accounts now.

Just shoot me a email if you want a price list -- we print about any marketing material, etc. We also take special requests.

If you have any questions, please post them here so others can benefit from them.

Thanks

Postcards, Posters, Rack Cards, Brochures, Data/Sell Sheets, Door Hangers and we take special requests.

I would like to point out we are more of a volume printer so our min. is 5,000 - but as cheap as you get them people dont mind buying 5,000. You can get 5000 for the price of 250 at a local print shop

Any questions or if you want a price list - just let me know.
Thanks

My response is due to Jim Collin's book Good to Great...

What does wholesale business card printing have to do with pet supplies? How is it related? Is that your company's focus? I'd think that would distract PawsUp from their true focus -- pet supplies and fast shipping. Maybe if you start out as a division you turn it into a spinoff later?

Maybe your reading to much

This has nothing to do with PawsUp nor is a major focus of ours. We had the resources to do this so we decided to - we are not spending much time dealing with this - mainly just offering this to the YE community. Diversify
