A “Trade Printer” provides printing to a resale partner, who then sells it to the end user.
As a general rule, these resellers MUST work within the printing trade or in a similar trade.
A Trade Printer provides print materials to resellers at a wholesale rate. Trade printers often have specialized production equipment, training, and capacity that supplements what their resellers have.
Graphic designers, ad agencies, marketing firms, print brokers, copy shops and other printing companies are all potential customers of a trade printer.
When these customers purchase printing wholesale from a trade printer, it allows them to use their own creativity and production strengths profitably and resell the final product to their own customers at a competitive rate.
A trade printer sells printing to a reseller, who in turn sells the printing to the end user. To protect the reseller, a trade printer never has contact with the reseller’s customers (unless the reseller requests it). Depending on the agreement, a trade printer either ships the printing to the resellers for them to distribute to the end user, or the trade printer blind-ships the printing to the end user on behalf of the reseller. The trade printer’s name never appears on or within any shipment to the end user.
