Case Study: Turning Delays Into On-Time Deliveries

Read Time 3 mins

Asking for help

Situation

The publisher had been relying on another printer but faced recurring frustrations:

  • Missed schedules that caused ripple effects in their seasonal planning.

  • Projects overlooked - some titles were never even entered into production. This left the publisher scrambling to re-verify schedules, resubmit files, and push back promised ship dates.

  • Poor communication and lack of responsiveness when issues arose.

"When our customers needed a reprint of books quickly, we reached out to Bradford and Bigelow who jumped providing great pricing and a quick turnaround quote. Then, we got the books even faster than expected and the  quality was fantastic!"
