The holiday season may still feel a couple months away, but for brands preparing seasonal packaging, retail displays and year-end campaigns, the countdown has already begun.
Q4 is one of the busiest times of year for brands and printers. Holiday promotions, seasonal product launches and year-end marketing materials all compete for attention, making now the time to get upcoming print projects into the pipeline.
At Litho, speed is part of what we do. But the earlier we can get involved, the more we can help keep your Q4 projects moving smoothly.
So when should you start? Now’s good.
Why September Matters for Holiday Print
Holiday packaging starts long before consumers begin shopping. Teams are finalizing artwork, preparing files, selecting materials, approving proofs, scheduling production and coordinating delivery.
Whether you’re preparing a limited-edition package, seasonal litho labels and topsheets or large-format printed materials, locking in those details now gives your team more room to manage production and delivery ahead of holiday deadlines.
Make It Pop on the Shelf
The holidays are your chance to give a familiar product a fresh look, or to make a limited-edition run impossible to miss. Think bigger than swapping in red and green:
Cold foil for metallic shine that stops shoppers in their tracks. We run the world’s largest inline cold foil press.
Specialty coatings that add texture, depth and a premium feel.
Bold, large-format graphics on litho labels and top sheets, printed on our offset presses up to 59.5″ x 80.5″.
As a G7 Master Printer, we make sure your holiday colors come out true on every sheet. Starting early gives you time to explore what’s possible. See everything we can print.
Don’t Let Last-Minute Changes Slow You Down
Q4 moves quickly, and small delays can add up when you’re working toward a firm launch or retail date.
Getting files into prepress early can help identify issues with image resolution, color, finishing requirements or final dimensions before they reach the press.
It also creates flexibility for the changes that inevitably come with a project, like an updated SKU, revised promotion or last-minute design adjustment, without unnecessarily slowing production.
Think Beyond Holiday Packaging
Holiday packaging may be top of mind, but it’s rarely the only print need that comes with Q4.
Take a look across your year-end calendar for other projects that need to enter the pipeline, including retail displays, promotional materials, signage and other large-format print needs. Bringing those projects together gives your team, and ours, a clearer picture of what’s ahead.
