UNISOURCE PRINTING IN MACOMB MICHIGAN IS THINKING GREEN

Did you know that according to the American Forest & Paper Association, 57.4 percent of the paper consumed in the U.S. was recovered for recycling in 2008?  In fact, if measured by weight, more paper is recovered for recycling from solid waste streams than all glass, plastic and alumimum combined.  Every ton of paper recovered for recycling saves 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space.

 The printing industry takes very seriously the effect we have on the environment.  That is why over the years improvements have been made to make recycling paper cost – effective.  Recycled paper is now the same price as “virgin” paper in most cases and the quality  between the virgin and recycled paper is nearly impossible to detect.  Each time paper is recycled, the fiber length decreases, which impacts its strength.  Paper can be regenerated approximately seven times and still be within standard strength. To help extend the life of paper, most paper mills introduce “virgin” fiber into the process. The recycled content is usually 10 to 30 percent of the paper. Thanks to the responsible forestry practices of U.S. companies, the U.S. forests have increased by nearly 40 percent over the past half-century. Unisource Printing Services and Promotions works to be a more green company by purchasing recycled stocks for all its printing projects.  If you would like more information on this subject please contact us.  Looking forward to working with you.   Respectfully,Carol Harrison Ken Harrison

/in /by

Consecutive barcodes are increasingly used on a wide range of documents and products for easy tracking or unique identification purposes.

Blood and Tox Lab Forms
Consecutive barcode label for blood and tox lab forms, which are widely used within the Healthcare and pharmaceutical industry, are often multi-part NCR  forms with peel-off labels or integrated labels.  The labels are consecutively barcoded and are applied to samples or test-tubes as a unique identifier for that particular sample. The labels often have specialized adhesives for refrigeration and freezer conditions.

Unisource _ number one source for the consecutive barcode label blood and tox lab forms . We have the equipment to do CONSECUTIVE NUMBERING.  most printers can print barcodes, but not consecutively numbered.  We not only can do the consecutive barcode but we verify that the numbering on label to the form making sure they are correct.   The lab form is created under one roof, less waste and mistakes.

Integrated labels have a self-adhesive laminate patch affixed to the reverse of the sheet with a precision die-cut. This creates a lab (label can be created to the size you require), form and labels that can be  printed in one process.  This streamlines the end user processes, which saves valuable time and money, and reduce errors.  Integrated labels are perfect for lab forms being personalized  by the Blood and Tox lab using a laser printer, dot matrix  printer or hand written snapout forms.

Overage_Underage in quantity ordered in the Printing Industry

/in /by

Overage_Underage in quantity ordered in the Printing Industry. Quantity ordered verses quantities shipped is the often missed subject when a printer speaks to their customer.  In the 30 years Unisource Printing and Promotions has been working in the industries we have also missed pointing this out as well.

So what is this Overage/Underage in quantity ordered come from and what does it mean?

From the perspective of the offset printer, producing a particular quantity of printed pieces is not an exact science. For one thing, a printing press is not like a light switch. It cannot be turned on and off to print exactly 50,000 copies, so the printer almost always either prints too few or too many copies.

In addition, there are many different manufacturing activities within the production process. For instance, one side of a press sheet is printed, then the other side is printed after the first dries. Once the presswork is complete, the printed press sheets are transferred to post-press for trimming, folding, collating, stitching, etc. Ink-jet addressing and other lettershop activities may follow. In the course of each production task, printed sheets are wasted. This waste is called spoilage. To eventually hand off to the client a completed press run of 50,000 copies of a publication, a printer must start with many more copies, assuming he will destroy a certain number in each step as part of the manufacturing process.

Within the printing industry, a membership organization of printers called the Printing Industry of America has developed a series of trade customs. Among these is a standard for overage_underage. This is the terminology for the copies of your publication that exceed or fall short of your requested press run.

According to these trade customs, a printer charges a customer for the actual number of copies produced, up to 10 percent more or less than the requested amount. The key here is the word “actual.” This is not an arbitrary number. The printer can only charge for what he hands off to the customer.

So next time you speak with a printer and he doesn’t mention about these overage/underage and quantity billed ask the question.  You can request exact quantity but then you can expect your price to be slightly higher since the extra printed pieces will be recycled instead of delivering to you to be used.

This information and more can be found on Printing Industry Exchange website under Overage_Underage in Printing Industry.
