Challenges Print Shops Face Daily
Understanding the unique pressures of print shop businesses helps us deliver better solutions.
Rush Orders and Tight Deadlines
Print clients often need materials for events, trade shows, or campaigns with extremely tight turnarounds. Missing a call about a rush order can mean losing the job entirely to a competitor who picks up the phone.
Rush orders typically carry 25-50% premium pricing, making missed calls during production hours particularly costly to your bottom line.
Production Floor vs. Phone Duties
Running printing equipment requires focused attention. Stopping mid-production to answer calls disrupts workflows, increases error rates, and can damage expensive materials. Yet customers expect immediate responses for quotes and order updates.
Print shops report that production interruptions from phone calls add 15-20% to job completion times and increase material waste by up to 8%.
Complex Quote Requests
Print quotes require detailed specifications including quantity, paper stock, finishing options, and delivery timelines. Gathering this information over the phone while managing production is time-consuming and prone to errors.
Incomplete quote requests result in back-and-forth communication that delays closing sales, with 30% of prospects choosing competitors during extended quote processes.

Real Results from Real Print Shops
QuickPrint Solutions
The Challenge
QuickPrint Solutions was losing rush orders because their 4-person production team couldn't answer phones while operating presses. They estimated 8-10 missed calls daily, with many callers never calling back. Their vintage answering machine was costing them premium rush work.
The Solution
Dialbox AI now answers every call, gathering complete job specifications using industry-standard questions about quantity, paper stock, and finishing. Rush orders are flagged immediately with text alerts, and detailed quote requests are compiled for rapid response.
Results
"We used to watch the phone ring while running the press, knowing we were losing business. Now every call gets answered professionally and we have complete job specs waiting when we're ready to quote. It's transformed how we compete against larger shops."
— Derek Fonseca, Owner, QuickPrint Solutions
