Data management, online procurement and secure online ordering
We are professionals in the delivery of end-to-end business solutions. Investing in the latest online technologies, Advance continues to stay at the forefront of the print and communications industry in Australia. In developing our online system, Advance Online, we ensured robust, integrated and properly supported solutions for our clients.
To date, Advance Online has more than 1000 users. It enables easy ordering of all your business print essentials 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Most importantly, Advance can customise our system according to your needs – users can compare and manage their monthly print spend by department, product, delivery point and value as well as monitor who ordered the product – from viewing stock on hand to cost centre and category spend analysis.
Advance Online provides easy desktop access to products for instant viewing of pricing and product availability online. Advance Online allows you to control access and set authority levels based on secure individual user logins. Product selection can be restricted and approvals set by order, item value or a specified budget. You can also capture expenditure by cost centre or department to control purchasing.
Digital printing
Digital print has changed the printing industry, allowing you greater flexibility in how, why and when you print your materials. Ideal for short runs and variable data, information sent to print can be customised for each copy enabling a high degree of personalisation, perfect
for marketing promotions including direct mail pieces, brochures and business proposals. We can also mail merge your supplied data files with letter mail outs for targeted campaigns, surveys and promotions.
Print ordering is different with digital print. Small print run capability means you only need to request what you need when you need it. Costing less than traditional offset, there are many more benefits to digital print, including shorter turnaround times and online ordering capabilities. The quality of digital print is comparable to traditional offset with metallics and spot varnish options available at a fraction of the cost.
Offset printing
Our advanced technology delivers award-winning offset print quality plus speed and accuracy. Ideal for full colour, medium to large volume print requirements, offset printing at Advance is monitored at every stage to ensure the process flows smoothly. Our quality management systems to international standards guarantee superb print, colour control and consistency. Economical for large print runs, traditional offset print allows additional finishes such as metallics, special Pantone colours and varnishes to be included on a greater variety of paper stocks and weights. Coupled with our in-house finishing services including embossing, diecutting, and various folding options, Advance offers you a complete high-quality printing solution.
Large format printing
Banners, displays, large posters and signage can be produced professionally and quickly from your supplied files or custom designed for any promotional purpose. They can be printed on a variety of stocks including vinyl with UV inks suitable for outdoor use, or laminated to protect and enhance the finish. The Advance team can advise on large format options for any of your marketing collateral.
