More Than Print, Chapter 8: Where Ideas Become Possible
How our in-house capabilities help bring ideas to life.
Throughout our More Than Print series, we've spent a lot of time talking about the finished experience. But behind every one of those finished pieces is another story.
Inside our 52,000 square foot Greenville, SC facility, ideas move through different people, departments, technologies, and pieces of equipment before becoming the finished work our customers see. It gives us more ways to answer one of our favorite questions: What are you trying to accomplish?
Why In-House Matters
Having commercial print, digital production, wide format, mailing, finishing, fulfillment, and other capabilities in-house means more of a project can stay connected as it moves through production. It gives our team greater control over quality, more flexibility when a project requires a different approach and better coordination when several pieces need to work together.
The equipment isn't the end of the story. It's what gives us more ways to help tell yours.
High-Volume Calls for Commercial Print
Brochures. Catalogs. Pocket folders. Booklets. Calendars. Marketing collateral.
Some communication needs call for the quality and efficiency of offset production.
That's where our Heidelberg Speedmaster Sheetfed Offset Press comes in.
Our Heidelberg is a six-color press with an inline coater, giving our production team the ability to manage high-volume commercial projects while also applying aqueous coatings as part of the production process.
But again, the machine itself isn't really the point. The point is what it allows us to control:
Color.
Consistency.
Paper.
Coating.
Volume.
The Ability to Customize
Sometimes the project needs something different:
A shorter run.
Personalization.
Variable information.
Our HP Indigo Digital Press allows us to produce high-quality digital work while also supporting variable-data applications. That means a campaign doesn't necessarily have to consist of thousands of identical pieces. Names can change. Information can change. Messaging can change. The communication can become more relevant to the person receiving it.
Digital production makes personalization part of the possibilities.
When the Idea Gets Bigger
Our EFI VUTEk M3h Hybrid LED expands what we can produce in-house by printing across both rigid and flexible materials at widths up to 126 inches. That's what helps take an idea from a computer screen and bring it into the physical environment.
And Then We Give It Shape
A rectangle isn't always the answer.
That's where our Zünd G3 Flatbed Cutter & Router becomes another part of the process.
Precision cutting allows printed materials to become custom shapes, contour-cut graphics, dimensional pieces, packaging, displays, stickers, and other applications that go beyond a standard straight edge.
When Print Needs Another Dimension
Finishing can completely change how a printed piece is experienced.
A shape can make a mailer unexpected.
A score can turn a flat sheet into packaging.
A perforation can make something interactive.
An embossed element can create texture.
SOMETIMES A RECTANGLE JUST WON'T DO. Cut. Score. Emboss. Perforate. Create.
Our Rollem Insignia 7 Die Cutter brings die-cutting, kiss-cutting, embossing, perforating, scoring, and cut-scoring capabilities into that process.
That opens possibilities for pieces like:
Pocket folders.
Labels.
Door hangers.
Stickers.
Shaped direct mail.
Tags.
Packaging.
And custom pieces that don't necessarily fit into a standard format.
The Most Important Part is Still People
Of course, none of these machines decides what your project needs.
52,000 Square Feet of Possibility
Today, Indexx has grown into 52,000 square feet of possibilities to help make your business get its message across. Inside our building are the people and capabilities supporting commercial print, digital production, mailing, wide format, finishing, fulfillment, creative services, and installation.
That's a long way from simply putting ink on paper.
And that's exactly the point. We'd love to talk about how we can partner with you to meet your business goals.
