MORE CONTROL OVER SPECIALIZED PRINT WORK

Bring the Right Booklets, Banners, and High-Volume Jobs In-House

Standard office copiers work well for everyday documents. They are not always built for booklets, banners, heavy paper, finishing, and larger volumes — which can mean outsourcing, rush charges, delays, or scaling back what your team produces.

Next Level helps Southern California businesses evaluate production print equipment and workflows based on what teams actually produce, how often, what is outsourced, and where the current process creates delay or unnecessary cost.

WHAT PRODUCTION PRINT CAN LOOK LIKE

Build the Workflow Around the Work You Actually Produce

The right production setup depends on volume, frequency, media, finishing, staffing, budget, and the value of controlling production internally.

Booklets & Bound Materials

Produce programs, manuals, presentations, product guides, and employee handbooks with supported booklet finishing.

Banner & Long-Sheet Printing

Create long-sheet banners, panoramic materials, and signage on supported systems and media.

Heavy & Specialty Media

Run covers, postcards, invitations, certificates, and coated or uncoated stock depending on the system.

Folding & Finishing

Add collating, stapling, saddle stitching, folding, hole punching, and output stacking where needed.

High-Volume Scanning

Support records conversion, project files, contracts, and archived paperwork with a reviewed scan workflow.

High-Volume Color

Handle larger color jobs without interrupting everyday office printing.

Media Requirements

Paper sizes, weights, coatings, and specialty media used in real applications

Finishing Needs

Booklets, banners, folding, stapling, punching, and stacking requirements

HOW THE PRODUCTION PRINT REVIEW WORKS

A Practical Five-Step Evaluation

01 — We Learn What You Produce

We start with real jobs — what is printed internally, what is outsourced, where delays happen, and which materials matter most.

02 — We Review Volume, Media, and Finishing

We evaluate piece counts, frequency, paper, and what must happen after pages print.

03 — We Test the Application

When possible, we demonstrate your files and media on a supported system so your team can evaluate real output.

04 — We Design the Right-Sized Setup

We recommend the print engine, paper sources, finishing, scanning, and service plan that match the applications.

05 — We Plan Implementation and Ongoing Support

We review placement, network access, media, launch-day needs, training, service, and supply support.

IN-HOUSE PRINTING

Where Internal Production Adds Control

In-house production may make sense when:

  • Jobs repeat frequently and content changes at the last minute
  • Turnaround matters and short runs are common
  • Immediate reprints are needed or sensitive material should stay internal
  • Outside printing creates delays or administrative work

OUTSOURCING STILL HAS A ROLE

Choose the Best Method Job by Job

Outsourcing may still be better when:

  • The job happens only once or twice a year
  • Specialized finishing or media is not supported internally
  • Volume is far above normal internal demand
  • The equipment would sit unused for long periods

HOW DIFFERENT TEAMS USE PRODUCTION PRINT

One System Can Support Several Repeatable Workflows

Marketing

Short-run brochures, booklets, banners, event materials, and presentation pieces

Operations

Manuals, work instructions, forms, and location-specific documents

HR & Training

Onboarding packets, employee guides, workbooks, and certificates

Sales & Professional Services

Proposals, presentation books, customer packets, scanning, and deadline-driven sets

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Answers Before You Evaluate a System

Higher-volume or more specialized print work that may need better media handling, color control, finishing, scanning, or output speed than a standard copier.

Not necessarily. It becomes more relevant when you regularly handle booklets, heavy paper, long sheets, finished materials, large color runs, or high-volume scanning.

Yes. When the equipment and media are available, relevant applications can be demonstrated using your files or comparable materials.

Supported systems can create folded and saddle-stitched booklets. Sizes, page counts, and paper weights depend on configuration.

Supported systems can produce long-sheet or banner output, including 12-by-47-inch applications, depending on equipment and media.

Many production systems support heavier media than standard office copiers. Important applications should be tested first.

No. The answer depends on volume, labor, supplies, equipment cost, service, and the type of work produced.

Usually more than with a standard copier. Training should focus on the jobs, paper, finishing, and workflows employees will actually use.
