From PDFs to Plexiglass: The Process Behind Professional Printing

What Is The Full Process When It Comes To Print Orders?
Printing at ParcelPedia goes far beyond simply putting ink on paper. As owner James Banks reveals in this fascinating episode, professional printing is a precise science with endless possibilities that many customers never discover.
The printing process revolves around three essential elements: image files, materials, and turnaround times. While many assume JPEGs are sufficient for printing, James explains why PDFs and TIFF files deliver superior results by preserving color richness and detail. "The idea is you always want the print to really look how the screen looks," James notes, highlighting how file selection dramatically impacts quality.
Most surprising is the vast array of printable materials available beyond standard paper. From corrugated plastic and cardboard to aluminum, acrylic, and specialized adhesives, the options allow for creative customization based on specific needs. Whether you're producing weatherproof signage for outdoor events or creating distinctive business materials, the medium can be tailored to your exact requirements.
For businesses on tight deadlines, ParcelPedia offers remarkably quick turnaround times—as fast as two days for business cards and simple flyers. Even for complex specialty materials that typically require longer production schedules, James personally contacts printers to explore rush options. "Don't feel like, oh, it's too late, it's not even worth my email," he advises, "because you may be surprised that deadline that you thought you definitely missed may be right there within your grasp."
What truly sets ParcelPedia apart is their consultative approach. Many customers arrive with only a vague concept, yet leave with professionally designed materials perfectly suited to their needs. From full design services to technical file conversion, the team handles every aspect of the printing process with expertise and care.
