The Printing Industry Exchange (PIE) staff are experienced individuals within the printing industry that are dedicated to helping and maintaining a high standard of ethics in this business. We are a privately owned company with principals in the business having a combined total of 103 years experience in the printing industry.

PIE's staff is here to help the print buyer find competitive pricing and the right printer to do their job, and also to help the printing companies increase their revenues by providing numerous leads they can quote on and potentially get new business.

This is a free service to the print buyer. All you do is find the appropriate bid request form, fill it out, and it is emailed out to the printing companies who do that type of printing work. The printers best qualified to do your job, will email you pricing and if you decide to print your job through one of these print vendors, you contact them directly.

We have kept the PIE system simple -- we get a monthly fee from the commercial printers who belong to our service. Once the bid request is submitted, all interactions are between the print buyers and the printers.

We are here to help, you can contact us by email at info@printindustry.com.

Book Printing: Showcasing a Superb Cover Design

Monday, August 25th, 2014

My addiction of choice is frequenting thrift stores with my fiancee. I get lost in the print books, and time disappears.

Monday, August 18th, 2014

I have a new print brokering client who wants to produce a magazine. The product will be 9” x 12” in format with a press run of 5,000 copies and a page count of 150 pages. She came to me for suggestions and assistance. (more…)

Wednesday, August 13th, 2014

A client of mine is buying some business cards, a brochure, a table runner, and a retractable banner stand for an upcoming convention.

I gave her prices for the items, suggesting an alternate paper stock to bring down the cost, and I think we were both pleased with the results. In fact, a simple paper substitution brought the price of 1,000 business cards two dollars below the prior cost of 500 business cards. (more…)

Book Printing: Knock Outs, Gold Ink, and 4-Color Blacks

Saturday, August 9th, 2014

I picked up an older paperback at a thrift store recently. I had owned a copy of the same print book in the 1980’s, and the cover had changed, so I looked carefully at the design and custom printing of the new cover.

I’ve been working with a print brokering client recently to produce a large format print banner stand.

Large Format Printing: Banner Stands and Table Throws

Monday, August 4th, 2014
