Traditionally brands would rely on their creative agencies to handle duratran production. Micro managemant of layouts and typical agency BS costs TIME and MONEY. If anybody starts to pay attention they realize that the agency charges you for EVERY layout as well as inflating the duratran cost beyond recognition. In the days where companies had fat advertising budgets due to lack of competition, this was fine and dandy. We all know that today is different though. Brands need to be efficient with EVERY aspect of their image, especially duratrans. When looking for a company to print and process your duratran visual requests consider the following

1) How fast is fast?
-work with a company who archives your visuals and can provide quick custom layouts as needed
-48hours or less turn-around

2) NO layout fees
- you should only be charged for the duratran itself.
-adding retailer's logo and store specific text should fall into this category

3)Proof
-all orders should be followed up with a proof to eliminate errors

4) Online order management (most important)
