Trade production that protects your client relationship
Your customer needs the work. You need the capacity, equipment or specialized production path to deliver it properly.
Process Color supports print shops, sign companies, creative and experiential agencies, installers and resellers with confidential large-format production, finishing and installation coordination. We work behind the scenes as an extension of your business so you can pursue more opportunities without adding every machine, production shift or installation capability yourself.
You keep the customer relationship. We help you produce the work.
We help you add capability and product breadth, without adding overhead
Trade partners use Process Color for overflow, equipment backup, oversized work, speciality material production, without buying a full roll that heads to the bin eating away your hard earned profit.
Process Color will never compete for your clients and supports businesses by offering true white label production services. Blind proofs and packaging without identification are just a few of the ways we support trade partners.

Specialty production
No one wants to turn down work. But what happens when your schedule is full? That’s where Process Color comes in. Our fleet of machines, multiple labour shifts and central location allows us to be the capacity you need when you need it.
Capacity when your schedule is full.
Trade pricing, account terms and sensitive operating details are provided privately to approved partners. They are not published on the website.
Before work begins, we confirm how proofs, communication, packaging, delivery documents, installation and client contact should be handled.

What you need to know about files, proofing and color control
File intake and preflight
Print-ready artwork should include final dimensions or documented scale, adequate image resolution, bleed, safe area, outlined or packaged fonts, linked assets, cut paths, panel breaks, variable-data schedules and finishing layers where applicable.
Preflight identifies common production concerns. It does not replace creative review or customer approval. You remain responsible for spelling, dates, contact information, legal content, brand compliance and final authorization.
Proofing
A PDF proof confirms layout and content but cannot reproduce every material, texture, light source or print characteristic. Jobs with higher colour or fit risk may require a physical sample, test panel or another agreed approval method. Blind proofs are available to trade partners.
Color expectations
Color appearance can change across flexible media, rigid substrates, fabric and architectural finishes. When colour is critical, provide the target values, physical samples, prior production references and intended viewing conditions before production.
What to send with a quote request
- Product, intended use, finished size and quantity
- Material, print and finishing specifications
- Print-ready files or representative artwork
- Required production date and final in-hand date
- Packing, labelling and distribution requirements
- Pickup, shipping, delivery or installation destination
- Colour targets and prior production references
- Confidentiality or neutral-fulfilment requirements
Full service kitting, fulfilment and installation coordination, or management of the parts you don't want to.
Kitting and staged releases
Complex jobs can be organized by store, event, site or installation phase. A component schedule should identify each item, artwork version, quantity, finishing method, hardware, destination and required date.
Packing, delivery and shipping
Packing, pickup, shipping, delivery and split shipments can be reviewed with the project. Production completion is different from carrier pickup, arrival or installation completion.
Neutral or blind fulfilment is not automatic. If a shipment must omit Process Color identification or use partner-provided documents, that requirement must be agreed to before production.
Installation support
Installation can be coordinated for approved projects after the location, substrate, access, schedule and scope are reviewed. Site verification, permits, access equipment, surface preparation, removals, electrical work, traffic control and final client communication must have clear owners.
Installation reach, crew dates and after-hours work are project-dependent and are only confirmed with the approved scope.
The 6 Business Day Production Guarantee
For qualifying products in eligible service areas, Process Color guarantees production within six business days or the production is free.
The production clock begins only after Process Color has received and accepted complete print-ready files, all required approvals, confirmed materials, final quantities and complete finishing and destination details.
Revisions, incomplete information, client delays, shipping, delivery, installation, supply issues and circumstances outside Process Color's control are excluded. Eligibility is confirmed when the order is accepted. If the project changes, timing must be reconfirmed.
