Common questions

Should finishing be specified before artwork?

Yes. Finished size, folds, binding, coatings, and die lines affect page geometry and production files.

Can DPS finish work it did not print?

That depends on the process, material, supplied quantity, and condition. Send the full specification and samples when available.

Can finished products go into inventory?

Yes. Eligible repeat-use products can be received into Pick N Pull inventory for later release and distribution.
