Your Printing Pain Points vs. Our Value Proposition

Traditional Printing Pain Points How HubCast provides value

Doing large print runs and shipping paper

all over the world is expensive and time-

consuming.

We print close to the intended destination

saving time, money.

Keeping warehouses of paper is wasteful as

inventories obsolete quickly.

We print on demand to minimize waste and

eliminate the need to store paper.

Marketing collateral can be delayed at

customs, leading to missed opportunities.

We print in-country as much as possible,

avoiding costly delays.

Foreign printers can be unreliable with

print quality which impacts your brand.

All of our printers are Indigo-compliant,

resulting in color-match print for your

brand.

Managing all the collateral is difficult;

from inventory to routing to slow delivery.

HubCast takes care of the routing; sending

and delivering your print jobs as soon as

next day.
