London has suffered under the ongoing recession along with the rest of the world but it remains a global hub of finance and business for business and projects of all kinds.

Reprographics Warehouse, the ARC division located in the heart of London’s business district, is playing its part, relaying jobs from around the world to far-flung destinations in Europe, Canada, the U.S., China, and many places in between.

Fast, international turnaround often comes by way of a mistake – the file was produced incorrectly by another vendor, a typo was found, as package was lost or the file was corrupt. In cases like these, our team in London locates and fixes the problem on the spot and sends the project on its way.

In other cases, it’s all about speed. In concert with other ARC companies around the world, Reprographics Warehouse has sent files of fine art from London artists to New York galleries, project plans from Las Vegas to Dubai, and promotional flyers from Belgium to Beijing, all in a matter of hours, with no stops at international distribution centers, or delays in customs.

The key to all these globe-trotting documents is ishipdocs™, our “digital shipping” Web application that allows our customers to send documents to hundreds of print partners around the world.

Rather than printing, packaging and shipping via an overnight or international shipping company, we can send your documents close to their final destination before the documents are actually printed, and then deliver locally. The savings in time are dramatic, and we can often cut your shipping costs by half.

If you’re next job needs to get to London – or cross-country, or anywhere else in the world – drop us a line or give us a call about ishipdocs. We’ll show you how we can save you time, money and headaches by shipping digitally, and printing locally.

Shipping work digitally is becoming easier every day, whether it’s around the corner or around the world. Contact us to learn more about how to improve your project distribution practices.

And why not? If you’ve got documents you need shipped to and printed in Beijing or Moscow – we can do it. We’re doing it every day.

At our Shanghai office recently, the entire staff pitched in to support the printing needs of clients like Gensler, NBBJ, Maison Worley Parsons and others. Not only the production team but the entire sales team and even administration people chipped in to bring the job in ahead of deadline. In four short days the Shanghai office produced more than 300,000 prints, 1,000 hand-made color books and 200 color boards in support of Gensler and their other clients in the region.

What would you do?  Alert the mail room?  Put the local delivery company on standby and prepare to pay exorbitantly?  Our client wisely chose to have us send their documents via ishipdocs, a digital shipping system which skirts the security and customs lines and gets your documents where they need to go, when they’re needed.

With ishipdocs we were able to send the needed files to Australia with a keystroke, have them printed there and delivered within hours – 36 hours in all from the moment they were sent from Houston to the time they reached their intended destination in Darwin, Australia.

No flight delays, customs checks, exorbitant shipping charges.  Something to consider next time you’re up against a deadline, wouldn’t you agree?  If you feel ishipdocs might be able to help you solve your next shipping crisis, click the ishipdocs link to learn more.

Most shops would print and ship. We did it the other way around – with a new service we call ishipdocs™.

Six orders for a full set of design drawings arrived in our Atlanta offices on a Friday, with a delivery due date for the following Monday. Rather than printing the drawings, boxing them up and shipping them overnight to six different locations, we simply scanned and shipped them – digitally – to our printing facilities closest to the recipients. On Monday morning, the drawings were printed and delivered before the team members finished their first cup of coffee.

No boxes, no labels, no trucks or airplanes, just a huge network of print partners.

In 350 locations worldwide, there’s hardly a square mile on earth we can’t get documents do when you need them. Ask about ishipdocs for your next print distribution.

It’s easy, it’s earth-friendly, and it’s fast.
