In the age of iPhones and online shopping, It’s more important than ever to ensure you are staying ahead of the competition – even if this means changing your entire business to suit new market demands.
For Printing ASAP, the burgeoning paperless world represented a significant challenge to the business, whose main revenue came from printing letterheads and envelopes with their clients’ logos.
Proactivity and preparation were key for the 27-year-old Victorian-based organisation, who recognised the changing world meant waving goodbye to printing letterheads and saying hello to the world of printing promotional material and entering the creative landscape of graphic design.
What did remain the same was the commitment to getting their goods to their customer’s door on time. Missing a deadline is simply not an option for this business.
Enter Transdirect.
Printing ASAP were looking for the best price for shipping their goods and needed a way to do this efficiently (and cost effectively!)

The team at Printing ASAP simply enter the dimensions of their packages, the postcode they’re sending to, and the weight of the package into the calculator and they instantly have the best shipping options at their fingertips.
