Commercial printing is the process whereby an artwork is reproduced multiple times on a substrate, commonly paper or board. Commercially printed products are generally used to promote a business or service or even be sold themselves. Every business has a requirement for commercial printing at some point. These may be small items such as flyers, brochures or internal stationery items that are useful for running the business. Commercial printing may also take the form of large promotional items such as printed catalogues or booklets. These can explain how your business or service works, or showcase your product range.
A huge range of products can be printed commercially and these can vary in size and quantity. These products normally either promote the brand of the business itself or the products and services it offers. A publishing company will produce commercial printing for its customers that will then be sold, such as books and magazines. Commercially printed stationery such as letterheads, envelopes, invoices and compliment slips also conveys a professional image and helps promote a business. Catalogues and books are commercially printed to provide customers with information on a wide range of products and services. These can vary in size, quality, and quantity. Other commercial printing products widely used are catalogues, brochures, flyers, booklets, magazines, calendars, posters, cards, reports, presentation folders, and tags.
