Whether you are producing financial statements, personalized direct mail, booklets, authentication labels, tax stamps or bank/telephone plastic cards, ensuring that every item is finished correctly, in the right sequence, complete, accurate and traceable is a basic requirement that every printer must meet.
Poor print integrity management can lead to misplaced, duplicated or missing items, resulting in personalized and private data being sent to the wrong person, wasted promotional campaigns, increased waste, and so on. The repercussions (for the printer and their clients), could be substantial financial penalties, lengthy legal disputes, lost productivity in investigating issues, higher operational costs, lost revenue and worst still, poor publicity, loss of reputation and future business.
