For nearly twenty years, IPN companies have taken the time and investment to build close working relationships with each other in order that they can have the confidence and trust to be able to offer a truly local global service.
By using the latest in communication, digital and printing technologies the IPN organises production and distribution of customers visual information ready for other IPN partners, to efficiently produce and distribute in the country or countries in which it is needed.
Today’s Challenges
As the world becomes a smaller place due to advances in technology and communications, more companies are expanding globally. Organisations competing in this global market place face unique challenges in providing information both printed and electronically on a consistent basis, with minimal time to market and expense.
Supporting the marketing and communications efforts of these international companies becomes ever more important in order that they can successfully compete in the global economy. Higher levels of expectation and new challenges of just in time and on-demand delivery become commonplace. The need to distribute and produce printed and electronic documents and other literature on a worldwide
basis increases daily.
For organisations without a global partnering network it is often not practical or economically viable to produce information at one location and distribute, or to try to print internationally, due to many of the
following factors:
• Increasing cost and potential delays in international shipping
• The risks of production in other countries with unproven print vendors
• The lack of a trusted relationship at the point of distribution
• Language differences
• Difficulties in maintaining worldwide corporate quality standards
• Customs and Excise regulations
