Brand and production

From file to finished product, with one accountable partner.

Design, artwork, printer coordination and delivery tracking. Packaging, signage, catalogues, books and merchandising without chasing five different suppliers.

The chain, end to end
1
Design
The piece is designed for its use, material and print process.
2
Artwork and preflight
Bleeds, colour profiles, dies and technical file verification.
3
Production
Coordination with the right printer for that product and volume.
4
Control
Proof and result review before signing off the run.
5
Delivery
Tracking to destination, according to product and country.
TouringXX coordinates the whole chain — design, technical preparation, production, quality control and delivery tracking — with partner printers and carriers. Customs and final-destination times depend on third parties and are stated as such.
At a glance

TouringXX’s design, print and global production service covers the full chain for physical materials: design, artwork, technical preparation, printer coordination and delivery tracking. It is built for companies that currently split that chain between several suppliers and end up resolving file, colour or deadline problems themselves. The expected outcome is a single point of control and pieces that arrive in good condition.

What “global production” means

It means production is resolved wherever it makes sense for each piece and each destination. Packaging for a launch in one country isn’t necessarily printed in the same place as a catalogue for a fair in another. Coordination is done with partner printers according to the product, the volume and the delivery point.

What doesn’t change is who is accountable. The studio handles the file, the colour, the proof approval and the tracking until the piece arrives. If something goes wrong at the printer, it doesn’t become a problem between you and a supplier you never spoke to.

Who it’s for

Brands that produce physical material regularly.

Brands with periodic launches. Packaging and support material remade each season or each product.
Companies at trade fairs and events. Signage, wayfinding and material that must arrive on time in another city or country.
Marketing teams with no production area. They design in-house but have nobody to resolve printing and logistics.
Editorial projects and catalogues. Books and catalogues where finish and colour fidelity matter.
What depends on the case. Timelines, costs, available finishes and logistics change with the product, the quantity, the printer, the country of production and the destination. Every quote is calculated with those variables; there are no fixed rates to publish.
Common situations

Signs production needs a single owner

Each piece goes through a different supplier and nobody has the final file.
The printed colour doesn’t match what was approved on screen and it isn’t clear why.
Files come back from the printer with bleed, font or resolution problems.
A launch was delayed because production wasn’t coordinated with the date.
The same piece is needed in several countries and each one solves it alone.
Nobody knows what the last production really cost, or why.
Results

What changes when production is centralised

These are the changes the service aims for. Specific times and costs depend on each piece and destination.

A single point of contact

One person answers for design, file, printer and delivery, instead of forwarding emails between suppliers.

Files that don’t fail

Preflight catches the problems before printing, not once a thousand units are made.

Consistent colour

Profile management and proof approval so what is printed matches what was approved.

Production where it makes sense

The printer is chosen by product, volume and destination, not by habit.

Coherence between pieces

Packaging, signage and printed material keep the same identity.

Order traceability

You know what stage each piece is at and what is left for it to arrive.

Scope

What we produce

Each family has different technical requirements: materials, dies, finishes and tolerances. Artwork is prepared for the piece, not from a single template.

How we work this service

Five stages, and a proof before printing everything.

Most printing problems are caught in the file or in the proof, not in the run. That is why preflight and proof approval are named stages, not formalities.

Production and delivery

Printing, quality control and tracking to the delivery point.

pieces and shipment status
On customs and international deliveries. When a piece crosses borders, times and costs depend on customs, the product type and the destination’s regulations. Known conditions are reported before confirming the order, and what falls outside the studio’s control is stated clearly.
Real production

Detail is what distinguishes careful production.

Materials, finishes and binding can’t be conveyed in writing. Our own photograph of a delivered job is worth more than any list of capabilities.

Service: Global production

“They coordinated design, printing and delivery in three countries. We approved the proofs and they handled everything else.”

What can be claimed

The quote is calculated per piece and per destination.

We don’t publish production prices because they change with the material, the volume, the finish, the printer and the delivery point. What is delivered before committing to anything is a quote with the variables explained and the timelines estimated for the case.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about production

If your piece has special requirements, it is worth raising them when requesting the quote.

Do you work with your own printers or with third parties?+
With partner printers, selected according to the product, the volume and the destination. The advantage is being able to choose the right supplier for each piece instead of forcing everything through one technology. Coordination and control stay on the studio’s side.
Why are there no published prices?+
Because the cost of the same piece varies with material, quantity, finish, printer and delivery country. Publishing a fixed rate would be misleading. With the order details we prepare a quote with the variables explained.
Can you produce if the design already exists?+
Yes. In that case the work starts at artwork: the file is reviewed, adjusted as needed for the chosen print process, and production is coordinated. If the file has serious problems, we say so before proceeding.
Which countries do you deliver to?+
It depends on the product and the volume. Some pieces are produced close to the destination to reduce time and shipping costs; others are produced in one place and distributed. The specific conditions are confirmed when preparing the quote.
What if the printed result isn’t what we expected?+
That is what the proof stage is for: it is reviewed and approved before the run. If there is still a difference attributable to production, it is handled with the printer. What can’t be corrected afterwards is a change of mind about something already approved.
How long does a production take?+
It varies a great deal: a simple digital run can be resolved in days, and packaging with dies and special finishes takes weeks. The estimated timeline is stated in the quote, along with the points where a delay in approval affects the final date.
Do you handle customs and logistics too?+
Shipping is coordinated and we report what is known of the destination’s requirements. Customs times and costs depend on each country’s regulations and are not under the studio’s control; that is made clear before confirming the order.

Services that usually go with it

Physical production almost never arrives alone: it comes from an identity or a campaign.

Tell us which piece you need and where it has to arrive.

With the product type, the estimated quantity and the destination we can prepare a quote with timelines and finish options. If the design doesn’t exist yet, this is also where it starts.
