What is Trade Printing and Why Does Your Business Need It?

A trade printer provides wholesale printing services to print resellers who sell the product to the final client. A trade printer sells printing at wholesale prices, which allows the reseller to mark up printing service prices to comparable retail rates, while making a huge profit. Trade printers are generally used by marketing agencies, print brokers, graphic designers, and anyone else who may resell printing services to customers.
