Blank Product Orders: Your Questions Answered

Q: What does it mean to order "blank work" from you?

A: "Blank work" refers to products we supply without any printing. Clients often request this when they want to use our specific paper stocks for their own printing or for items that will be written on, like notepads. A common example is continuation sheets ordered alongside letterheads, which clients use as blank follow-up pages.

Q: How do I order a blank product?

A: Here's the process for ordering blank products:

1. Client Request: You (the client) contact us to ask for a blank product.
2. Specification: An Account Executive (AE) will take the full specifications of what you need.
3. Quote Request: The AE will then raise an internal quote request ticket.
4. Quote Generation: An Account Manager (AM) will prepare the quote, removing the print cost and noting that the job is for "finishing only."
5. Client Approval: Once you approve the quote and wish to proceed, the AE will book the job, ensuring the 'Job Type' is set to 'Finishing Only'.
6. Production Notification: The AE will raise an internal ticket under 'Finishing Only' to advise that the job is booked and needs to be cut and dispatched.
7. Dispatch: Our production team will cut the product to size and dispatch it to you.

Q: What products can I order blank?

A: Essentially, we can supply almost any of our products in a blank format, allowing you to utilize our range of stocks.

Q: How much will I save by ordering a blank product?

A: While there will be some saving, it's important to note that the majority of a job's cost comes from the raw materials like the stock itself and packaging. Therefore, the saving for unprinted products won't be as substantial as you might expect, as the cost of the materials remains.
