Printing in Tough Times | 4over

Written by Admin | 08/26/2022

The past two years have been indisputably difficult for the print industry. If your business has escaped being impacted by labor challenges, economic uncertainty, or inflation, you are one of the lucky few. Looking ahead, there is both good news and bad. The material and labor shortages that started plaguing the industry last year are expected to continue — which may increase prices and delays even further. However, Printing Impressions predicts that total industry sales will still grow 2.5% - 3.5% in the second half of 2022.

So how do you stay on your feet and make sure you’re getting your share of this growth?

Having a strong partner is a great place to start. Right now, 4over is leading the industry in helping print sellers get their projects printed — fast and on time. But that’s just part of what we have to offer. As your go-to super wholesale trade printer, 4over invites you to leverage all our strengths to increase yours.

The Materials to Complete Your Projects Now

As the nation’s largest trade printer, we have developed deep, strategic relationships with suppliers on a global scale. By leveraging those relationships, we have secured paper and other substrates so you can deliver on your promises. While additional supply chain bumps may lie ahead, you can be sure that if materials can be obtained at all, 4over is the printer that has them.

Diversified Capabilities to Expand Your Options

In his article, Truth from the Trenches: Key Ways for Printing Industry Businesses to Excel in 2022, Printing Impressions’ Chief Economist, Andrew Paparozzi, cites diversification as a key strategy for growth. 4over has invested recently in screen printing, new machinery, and high-run capacity to fuel additional opportunities to bulk up your business. Screen printing is a particularly exciting area of expansion, especially when combined with our Large Format capabilities — you can learn more here.

High Quantities for Your Biggest Projects

Our latest investments in high-run capabilities, combined with the availability of materials, have cemented our position as your premier, go-to partner for high-run projects. Don’t say no to big customer jobs — as your wholesale trade printer, you can enjoy on-time delivery and fast turnarounds for even the highest-volume projects. 

On Time, Every Time for Customer Confidence

The entire industry took a hit this past year with regard to timely production and delivery. However, 4over has the materials, personnel, and geographic advantage — ten production facilities spread nationwide — to deliver your projects fast and on time, every time. We’ve even got the data to prove it: a 96%+ delivery success rate across the board and 98%+ for Large Format projects.
