How do I find a printing company for custom designed papers?
I would like to start a scrapbook paper company. How do I go about finding a printing company that prints custom designed paper? It needs to be archival quality paper acid free and lignin free. I've been looking online and I have only found printing companies that do brochures and business cards, pamphlets that type of stuff.
Scrappy answers:
Ok
so that type of printing you are looking to do - is well very expensive and many places that do it arent neccessarily advertising it- for printers money is in the 4color process high speed quick printing-
so - your art could be printed 4 color process- but the paper is gonna kill you- cause printers make you buy the whole roll or qy they have to purchase so they dont lose dolla$. And printers would want to do high quantity- if you are looking for low quantity in a 1 or 2 colors try the phonebook and look for "offset printing" it smaller presses and you can usually do smaller quantities of 500 -1000
to be honest- unless there is a high-end niche target market, you may want to look for another avenue of business. Becuase ac moore and micheals and all those have lot of designs for a fraction of what it will cost you- sorry hate to be debbie downer- but i know the print industry (worked on presses for a few years and the company i worked for would never take this project on unless in major quantities and we werent a big company)
regardless.... All the best and shoot for the stars!

Sandy asks…
Where can I find a company to mass produce the scrapbook papers I have designed?
I have a home business, based primarily on scrapbooking. I would like to start offering my own scrapbook supplies that I have designed myself. I have several items in mind, but need to start finding businesses to physically manufacture them. I am beginning with basic paper (cardstock), stickers, and die-cuts. Does anyone know of any businesses willing and ready to mass produce these items? I don't know how to find what I am looking for.
Someone answered that I might just go to a print shop and have them make what I want. However, that is not what I am after. I have a PRODUCT that I need to be MANUFACTURED...MASS PRODUCED. Are there any sources out there I might try? Anyone know of any companies I might contact?
Scrappy answers:
Yes, there are plenty of manufacturers who can do this for you with no problem, but what is the quantity you're talking about? Most manufacturers have set minimums, so unless you are really talking about a large volume, it may not be that easy or cost effective.
I have experience in purchasing foreign made goods from overseas as I travel to Asia numerous times and I have seen companies who make paper products fairly cheap over there, never really investigated because I am not in that line of business.
You can email me if you would like to discuss further rather than here on Answers.
