What is your role at your business?
I’m the Director of the company. I oversee the operations, manage the team, and help develop the educational content.
Briefly describe the products that POD Print provides to you.
POD Print helps us with all of our printing and distribution. We have all of our educational books, school resources (including posters, mirror clings, and tri-fold cards), and brochures printed with them. They also help with distribution of our materials when orders are placed through our website.
What are some common challenges that you face at your business?
We’re a small team, so having POD Print manage and distribute our inventory has been a huge help. They’re also great at sharing ideas on printing, binding, and stock options when we’re working on a new project. The POD Print team are truly experts in what they do, and because we’ve worked with them since our company first started they know our brand well.
Are there any specific printing-related challenges you’ve come
across in your work, and how were they resolved?
We ran into a challenge with how we first had our teacher content printed. Initially, we printed the teacher’s books with a wire binding and it worked great at first. Because the books were used so frequently pages started coming out of the books, and they weren’t always stored in the best way so the wire started getting bent. POD Print recommended we go to a plastic, spiral binding to solve both of the challenges, and it’s what we’ve used ever since.
How does POD Print help you achieve your goals?
POD Print helps us achieve our goals in so many ways. They help us create an amazing quality product for our clients, but one of the biggest things that our clients are always impressed by is the distribution. We tell our clients to allow 14 business days to receive their order, but normally they get them in three days. We teach about legendary customer service, and POD Print helps us deliver that to our clients.
What qualities do you look for when choosing a printing company?
We look for a company that is reliable, up to date in their industry, friendly, and provides quality products while still being price competitive. Plus, being local to our company is a plus!

What is your favorite feature of our products and/or service? Why?
There are so many things that I love, but I would say my favorite is the collaboration and communication. We like to do things sizes and styles that could be considered less conventional and the POD Print team always brings great ideas to the table to help us create something amazing but stay within our desired budget.

– Aviation Industry | Supply Chain Specialist
I asked a successful author who his favorite printer was. When he said POD Print without hesitation, that was enough endorsement. I quickly learned that POD Print is enthusiastic, friendly, competent, and encouraging. Now when people ask me where I got my books printed, I don’t hesitate to tell them POD Print as well.
