Print Safari has been fantastic for us! We print in large volumes-everything from posters to postcards and flyers. We have found their quality to be excellent and their customer service to be superb. We use Print Safari for all of our printing needs and don't see us changing that any time soon. My only regret is that we didn't start using Print Safari sooner.

How to Print Special Shape Products Affordably Without Sacrificing Quality
Choose Shape and Material Strategically
- Select simple shapes to reduce cutting complexity: Shapes like circles, ovals, or rounded rectangles are easier and faster to produce than highly intricate outlines. This can help reduce setup and production costs without losing visual impact.
- Use durable but cost-effective paper stocks: A mid-weight matte or gloss-coated stock offers great quality without going premium. These materials are sturdy enough to support unusual shapes and still feel professional.
- Limit size to control waste and costs: Staying within common postcard or business card dimensions avoids unnecessary material usage. This keeps your production efficient and shipping more affordable.
- Avoid unnecessary finishes: Special coatings like foil or embossing add cost. If the shape is your main attention-grabber, you can often skip these extras without compromising appeal.
Optimize Design for Production
- Use provided templates: Templates are already set up with safe zones and bleed areas for shaped formats. They help ensure smooth production and eliminate guesswork that could lead to costly reprints.
- Keep design elements within safe areas: Make sure no critical text or visuals are close to the cut line. This helps avoid trimming errors, especially on tight curves or corners.
- Minimize ink-heavy backgrounds: Large solid color areas or full-bleed images use more ink and can increase cost. Consider lighter backgrounds or partial ink coverage to optimize for print efficiency.
- Stick to standard color modes: Design in CMYK with standard print resolutions (300 dpi) to avoid additional processing or conversion steps. This keeps turnaround times short and costs low.
Print Smart and Scale Efficiently
- Print in batches for better pricing: Ordering in volume significantly reduces the per-unit cost. If you have seasonal or repeat uses in mind, batch printing is a cost-effective option.
- Reuse designs with different campaigns: Instead of redesigning from scratch, keep a base layout and just update details like event dates or promo codes. This saves both design and setup time.
- Combine orders with other formats: Printing your shaped products alongside standard prints—like business cards or flyers—can help meet minimum order values and optimize shipping costs.
- Store shaped prints carefully: Flat storage in protective sleeves prevents edge damage. Keeping them in good condition ensures you can reuse extras without needing another order.
