cheapest leaflet printing on the internet?

ronano

I use print24.ie and in truth cannot complain but i'm going to run off leaflets about 10,000 and i was wondering if anyone can recommend anywhere cheaper. 10,000 leaflets is 432 euro,not bad at all but if you can get it cheaper may as well

If they are giving you a price as good as that I'd stick with them if you know they will give you a good service and deliver correctly and on time. There's such a thing as squeezing too much imo.

I got 10,000 A5 single colour leaflets printed last year, cost me €220.

I have the phone number of a lad doing 5,000 A5 size for €100, tallaght based. Don't know him and haven't used him yet but planing on soon. He was advertised in the Herald. Pm me if you want his number. Worth a call.

VistaPrint.ie

They run special offers with their news letters every week with many Free or seriously discounted specials.

The €138 quoted on that page it there years, when I called them first I quoted that price, he (Declan) said that was an old price. I was happy with the quote I got .

I got mine done on 80gram bond paper, this is standard paper. I done the typesetting/design myself and sent it to him as a PDF.

I'd use his services again.

tbh 80gsm is cheap quality for a letterhead, let alone a leaflet. Far to lightweight for a leaflet

Don't care, it gets the message across...

cause you need to use quality paper for people to throw in the bin :rolleyes:

Pixelcraft

if you care about your business you'll do everything you can to reduce the number of people throwing it in the bin. With your reasoning, why send leaflets out at all?

I want to get 5,000 A6 flyers printed. I've been looking around and www.printcarrier.com seem to offer very reasonable prices but they will not send me a proof first which has me concerned. Has anyones used this crowd? Or does anyone have any positive experiences with other companies?

Thanks

Vistaprint is pretty well prices, but I use the .co.uk site rather than the .ie one.

In either case the goods are sent from the same factory overseas, but with the sterling exchange rate, the .co.uk site is generally quite a bit cheaper.

honeymonster

Yep, drop them an email and they'll send one out... Got min a few weeks ago n its a great help for picking paper n finish. They're much much better than Vistaprint and their customer service is great.

happyeveryday

Recently used Best Printing .co.uk, very good product and very good price. 5,000 A5 170gsm Matt finish for €94 delivered. Tried keeping the business in Ireland but could find anywhere to compete. Their customer service is appalling though.

cyberbob222

best prices i have found ever!
500 biz cards for 30 euro
5000 A5 leaflet, one side for 54 pounds

Based in Belfast, but well settled in ROI with southern phone numbers and bank accounts.

http://www.quinnstheprinters.com

roastpotato

have to agree with chubbcakes... used print 4 less before as well and found the quality and prices extremely good. they are also based in ireland and you can also order online if you want. we got a deal for 3000 full colour flyers for 100 euro before.

PrintingDublin

It might be late to write on this post, But printing company is providing great rates on flyer printing.

what you can get is something like:

5000 A5 flyers both side printed on 130gsm gloss paper: €110 (Order today- dispatch tomorrow).

http://www.printingcompany.ie

unklerosco

No harm in bumping an old thread if it helps people save a few quid, although bumping it to advertise ur own business is never good....

I use http://www.quinnstheprinters.com/ 1000 A5 same spec as above for €63 inc shipping

Hi. The cheapest Printing in The Country is <SNIP>
10,000 DL flyers on 130grm paper would be about 130euro, thats designed and delivered

Not that cheap, quinnstheprinters.com can do the same for €69 inc. delivery... Fair enough that doesn't include design but there's a tonne of places out there you can use for a design or template and it would still cost less than €130 all in... Best do some research before trying to get free advertising on boards..

Hi Liam

The next time you advertise on boards, use other user name .

Your competition wouldn't be happy if they knew that you were badmouthing them on the internet.

Has anybody any dealins with www.inhousepublications.com. They are a company who deal with leaflets from Newry?

The Guvnor

I am pleasantly surprised by Quinns - I thought Online in Germany would be hard to beat, it looks like quinns are there.

Kaizen Print in Belfast were mentioned to be recently.

Peterdalkey

Just got delivery of 5000 gloss full colour folded 6 page DL (folded fron A4) for Euro 138 all in from Quinns. Perfect job fantastic service and value!

The Guvnor

Fantastic Peter - I am going to use them for as much items as possible now - prices are great and quality is from reports excellent.

Amazing what people will overlook when it comes to shady pasts up north, business ethics my hoop. All about the bottom line eh chaps? Great to see people undermining their own economy and customer base for a few quid. :rolleyes:

I believe Minikin is in the printing business in the south and would prefer to see us spend our money here - albeit at higher prices.

The printing industry here has been decimated due to VAT charges that don't apply to printers in other parts of Europe.

They are caught between a rock and a hard place - they need to invest to buy the lastest kit that will achieve the fastest turnarounds/cheapest prices but can't due to lack of cash.

minikin

I'm afraid you'll have to do your own research there Hanley! Certain people in the industry up north have a bit of a name for being, lets say, formerly big in the voluntary sector.

The fact that people choose to put their neighbour (potential customer) on the dole here, to save a few quid is completely shortsighted. Yes, I am in the industry, not a competitor of these chaps in the UK in terms of scale, but certainly affected by it.

I lost my job a year ago as the printing company I worked for liquidated, I chose to go into business, creating two more jobs and about to create a third next week as there was no prospect of employment (existing companies carrying too much debt to be sustainable).

In the last year I have spent the guts of 50k on equipment, looking to drop another 20k in the coming months and an awful lot on stock, consumables and services IN THIS ECONOMY... When you support any local business you are also supporting all those companies who supply the local business.

How can I do this? Because my clients know that low prices don't necessarily mean great value. I do a lot of work for people who tried the vista print route and now want a proper service as they recognise that badly designed cheap cards are the equivalent of arriving at a sales meeting in a home made suit. FIRST IMPRESSIONS LAST.

Printers are also your consumers. I got married last year and used a hotel, the band and suit hire company that I do printing work for. They immediately made back more than they have spent with me to date. How many of your Internet based print companies will buy something from you or indeed give a personal recommendation about you to their wide circle of clients. There is no more effective networking than word of mouth.

On a side note, the few remaining big print houses may be able to price match some of these foreign companies if you ask nicely.

I'm about to commission a website dev and design, I certainly won't be using those companies that I know are outsourcing print work to the UK.

Think on that the next time you decide to 'economise'... For the want of the nail the shoe was lost...

Peterdalkey

As an Irish manufacturer of B2B products I absolutely empathise with your points but the sad reality is that we must be able to compete with allcomers to our market on every aspect...... price, quality and service.
As an exporter, I am that guy selling in someone else's "home" market in the UK, Germany, France Spain etc etc. I have to have competitive pricing, quality and service to win any business there and have a hope of making a profit!
To be bluntly honest, if one cannot even compete in one's market, you are in the wrong business or have a bad business model that will not survive, This is the law of the business jungle and in Ireland, the market is grossly over serviced with print capacity, just as we are with car dealers and lots of other supplies that have low barriers to entry. Those who innovate and bring forward low cost business models are the ones that will survive.

As a buyer, I will always buy Irish as long as it repesents at least equal overall value to the competition. if imports are better value, then they get the business. My responsibility is to manage/minimise my operating costs, not to support some inefficient local supplier.

micromary

Well Peterdalkey if you looked around then you will find good deals to be got from Irish printers who have a good reputation and who offer good customer service as well ie Advantage Printers. So don't give me crap that you have to go up North to do get good value printing done. Obviously coming from Dalkey you can well afford it whereas others can't.

Sadly the actual figures in this case do not back up your waffle.

micromary

Waffle????? Go over mr.know it all and give us the figures. All I know is that I have got my figures in order and am very happy with the deal I got and did not go far to get it either. I am all about getting the best deal and supporting Irish business in the process.

unklerosco

To weigh in on this, I get quite a decent bit of printing done and have used companies in Ireland, NI and Germany.. For larger jobs I tend to use the likes of Quinns and Onlineprinters as I can't justify paying extra €€'s to get the job done in Ireland.. and we're not talking about €50-100, we're looking at a couple of €1000 cheaper... For smaller runs and urgent jobs I use local printers... Business wise I treat Irish companies the same way I do when making purchases for myself. If I can get it at near enough the same price here I will, if the prices here are way off I go abroad...

Waffle; Yes indeed.
1. The thread title is "cheapest leaflet printing on the internet", the company you quote does not even offer online print or quotations.
2. You offer no comparative figures but before I bought I had direct comparative numbers before awarding this particular job. As it was for a a friends new business start up, price was very important indeed. Job delivered on time, quality is exactly as per spec. Saving just under 50%.

The sad fact is that irish printers are very expensive.

Look at snap printing for instance. Crazy ridiculous prices. Anybody that buys off snap would need their head examined. Hence, why a few of their branches have closed.

Then we have printers on this thread complaining about people not shopping local.

@minikin do you have a snap franchise by any chance ?

1. Total generalisation - some printers are some printers aren't.
2. Completely agree with you.
3. So you're invalidating everyone's argument on the basis of the most expensive example you can find?
4. Absolutely not - I'm a completely independent operator.

Ironically one of my new clients has just collected their business cards for a sales event in Belfast tonight, he arrived in this morning with his pdf (which required amendments). Haggled on the price and left very happy this evening.

250 high quality duplex matt laminated business cards, same day turnaround for €40+vat (after a haggle)
Good luck trying to haggle with your website.
Good luck trying to get a same day service.
Good luck trying to get design advice or a redesign from any of these UK companies.
Is that 'very expensive' 3sixty?

The difference between us apparently 'inefficient local suppliers' as Peter put it and some website is that WE GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE CLIENT. If building working relationship is of no value to you then keep doing what you're doing Peter, when you're in a hole because your online provider or their courier has let you down don't go crying to your local printer.

Some people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
You get what you pay for.

Bit of a contradiction there. You're generalising there as well. I have order various printed goods from American, Irish and British suppliers.

With the Belfast company I got same day delivery to Dublin and haggled on price. I also got design advice from a company in Birmingham who did a bit of editing for me for free.

I am afraid your references to me are far too emotive. But I do wish to be fair, so please PM me a price 5000 full colour 6 page DL 130( a4 2side folded) 130 gsm gloss flyers delivered Dublin with leadtime. I will let you know how competitive you are, privately.
I am in a manufacturing business and also export to more than 10 countries so I don't need and lectures on competitiveness or how to win customer loyalty, we are in business since September 1860.

You're claiming that 'a printer in Belfast' ran your job and delivered your job to Dublin the same day you ordered it and gave you a discount? Really? Let's hear some details. This should be interesting...

minikin

Absolutely no emotion in my response, I'm afraid you're quite mistaken Peter.

I'll gladly pm you that quote when I get back to work (home for half an hour to get some grub) have a few more hours to do tonight... Deadlines to honour and all that.

Honestly can't remember the name of the business was a few years back. Was up North and needed leaflets printed for an event in the evening in Dublin. Went in with saved as a xcf file and they were able to format it to get it to work on their machines. Explained the situation and they arranged for a courier to pick it up and delivery it to Dublin. Then gave me a slight discount to counteract the courier cost even though I didn't expect it.

In the end the leaflets beat me to the event!
