Print World is a family run shop based in Fort Worth, TX. Shawn Petrie saw an opportunity to begin his own shop with his wife Amy more than 30 years ago when the business where he was working closed, leaving a customer base and no one to service it. Both he and wife still run and operate the day to day.
Winning Business
To compete in a busy market, it comes down to customer service, competitive pricing, and quick turnaround. Print World made the investment a couple of years ago to move to digital in lieu of traditional offset printing because it was less expensive and no one was doing large runs any longer.
It came across Graphic Whizard USA, Inc. in 2020 and made a significant investment in finishing equipment. Graphic Whizard’s dealer in TX, James Tucciarone of Bindery Solutions, is a terrific partner. He helped the Petries build a shop able to fulfil customer demands quickly and accurately.
Currently, Print World employs two 8336SCCM slit/cut/creasers, a 335 AKF crease/knife folder, a 33LSC laminator/slit/cut, and corner rounder in house from Graphic Whizard. It also just invested in a Graphic Whizard DF0604 flatbed digital die cutter.
Identifying Opportunity
Petrie identifies some of the biggest opportunities in the printing industry today involving large format, which is why the shop purchased the Graphic Whizard DF0604.
“We have seen a number of opportunities relating to large format that we used to send out and a few months ago we invested in a flatbed digital die cutter from Graphic Whizard so that we could keep the business in house,” explains Petrie. It is important to acknowledge and stay on top of trends as well as a rapidly evolving marketplace. If you don’t customers will go elsewhere.
